I actually went to bed before 2am and I have been up since 8am. Sewing, sewing and more sewing. All while watching a few episodes of Mad Men. I love that show. It’s new to me this year and I’ve been catching up on the series from the beginning ( Read more... )

Well, I’m not really fully back into the groove. It’s more like wishful thinking. I am however, mostly settled into the new house. I just unpacked my boxes of pre-cut fabric squares that I sale on Etsy. They are on a shelf on the back covered deck. Most of my larger crates of fabric are in storage. Thankfully the storage facility is only ( Read more... )

Wow, it’s been forever since I blogged. I’ve been a busy lady. Finally all moved into our new house. It’s small. Really really small. No room for my fabric. I’ve managed to fit my sewing machines in the house and one drawer tower of misc projects I intend to work on, but there is no where to put my fabric stash. Kind of bums me out… .I don’t ( Read more... )

Kaity is Ms. Funnypants tonight. First she says she wants to ride in a toaster. Then she says; “Hey mom, don’t ever get frosting on your elbow. Know why?” To which I replied; “Cuz you wouldn’t be able to lick it off?” And she giggled so hard she almost feel off the bench at the dinner table. Then she tells me our old lady cat Isabel has a ( Read more... )

One of the things that I missed most while I was out of town was the time I took to create something every day. And it was hard to get back to that once I returned home. My little funk won’t have lasted as long if I had just started creating again ( Read more... )

Wow, it only took me about 10 days to finally get back in gear after my trip. I woke up today and just told myself no more lazing around, it’s time to get busy. And I have been busy. I sent out an email blast to my Reiki clients letting them know I am finally back from my sabbatical that lasted one year. Within minutes I was contacted and have ( Read more... )

We set out to scour the local thrift stores and find 2 bicycles for the girls today. We were successful after visiting 8 stores in 6 hours time. That means it was a long day. However, the bikes aren’t the highlight of my day. As we stopped in at each store I also perused the linens section and found various sheets to be used for backing my ( Read more... )

Ogden, Utah - getting ready to get back on the road. After so many years of being apart my sister and I are actually healing those wounds on this trip. No holds barred we’re taking about everything and remembering our high school days and antics. I’m glad I decided to take this trip with her.

Just about to hit the road. May this road trip be filled with peace and healing.

My sister (younger) is moving her stuff back to that horrid state this weekend. 5 states in a moving van for 22 hours isn’t fun. She was going to do it alone. I thought about going weeks ago and decided that flying home might not be a good idea. I haven’t been on an airplane since I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease in 2006. I have no idea ( Read more... )
