There's been spring like weather here in Northern Ontario for about a week now!! But, it will soon change back to seasonal...and the temps will dip once again.
I managed to catch a nasty cold....and it's lingered for over a week now. Today is the first day I've actually felt like doing something...yet here I sit.
Remember this particular hat? Well, I sold it to a lady in California...and she sent it back, requesting a refund. I was so damn upset...BUT she does have allergies to pet hair and lo and behold she found 3!! She should have read the write up...it mentions we are smoke free, but we DO have pets!! No more said!!!
I've been crocheting up a storm...and have completed several hats and a few scarves and neck warmers. I plan on being ready for those fall and holiday craft and hobby shows!!! No excuses this year!!! lolol (We'll see how long THIS lasts!!!)
The week-end went by in a "heart beat" even though I worked 2 long shifts. I'm tired!! This old gal can't work those 12 hour shifts any more! Damn near kill me!!!! (Can still work circles around those young waitresses!!)
I have 4 days off and not much planned. Will do our grocery shopping tomorrow, as the stores are closed today for Family Day...also President's Day in the States.
Check out another hat. I'm working on a neck warmer to match it. It's a Red Heart yarn--Earth and Sky.
Enjoy your day! I'm going to!!
Well, it's been almost a month since my last post! How time flies! BUT...we have been busy...organizing, remodeling and just some general clean-up!! Although I didn't get rid of as much as I hoped to...I still managed to part with some, and haven't bought any. I AM going to treat myself to some "fancy" stuff...but in no big hurry to do so.
I have been doing some crocheting...made a few hats. I'll be listing more on eBay as I get them finished. I want to be prepared for the craft shows this year...so there will be some "heavy-duty" crocheting going on. All the money I make from my hats and scarves goes toward Christmas gifts for the family...a BIG help. This has been my BEST winter yet for sales, so I'm VERY pleased.
Other than that, no news is good news. We haven't been getting too much snow and the temperatures haven't been too bad. I just HATE winter.....and anything under 70 degrees is just far too cold!!
In the meantime, I hope this finds you well. See you soon!!
Boy...it's cold out there...and the wind is nasty. It's even too cold for Oggie Dog to go out for anything length of time....and boy, he'd sure like to get out there for a walk. Since he had surgery on his legs last year, I noticed the cold weather seems to bother him. Hopefully, the weather will improve over the next few days...at least long enough to get out there for a walk...right Og??
I've been MIA for quite some time...made it through Christmas and the New Year. Had a great time with the kids, but glad it's over.
Now we're focusing on organizing...you know, get rid of all the "stuff" you've accumulated over the years...de-clutter, etc. etc. I've managed to get rid of a few odds and ends...2 bags and 2 boxes of yarn...and I still have a ton of it I should get rid of. But...it's an addiction...and I CAN'T GET RID OF ANY MORE!! (I'll think about it!!)
So...I'll go back into that craft room...and see what I can accomplish. Clutter sure causes me alot of stress!!!
Have a good evening....nice to see you again!!
I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last visit. Have been VERY busy...work seems to be taking up alot of my time--an early Christmas with John's family--a package mailed out to my Mom and Dad--and now I'm working on gifts for the grand-daughters.
How did I get so far behind???????????
A very HAPPY THANKSGIVING to my Family and Friends. May your day be bright...and may You have a chance to reflect on your many blessings.
I'm an American living in Canada...the Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone...(the first Monday of October)...and I miss the old fashioned Thanksgiving of my childhood. But I'm grateful for those years of my youth...with many happy memories. Life marches on....right??
Today...I went and got my hair cut, went to the post office to mail out a hat to Alberta AND my hubby treated me to a burger, muffin and coffee at McDonalds. Also called my Mom and Dad...and wished them a Happy Thanksgiving. They're in Florida--where it was in the mid 70's around noon. :)
I did some sewing yesterday afternoon, and practiced making pillow cases out of an old sheet. They're turning out pretty good, but then, what's so hard about sewing a straight seam???? Don't ask...Anyway, I tried my hand at French seams...nice not to see any raw edges. Have refreshed my mind and now I'll work on those specialty pillow cases for the Grand-daughters...something handmade from Grandma.
Hope you're enjoying your day...and HAPPY THANKSGIVING if you're celebrating the holiday.
BUSY!!! Yes Ladies...it's that time of year. Let me tell you about my busy season. And it's ALL good!!
John and I went to The States (Michigan) last week and finished up our Christmas shopping. I have some sewing to do and that should start this afternoon...if all goes well. Will work on a few Christmas cards-- until they're done and finish up an afghan. And that's it!! Not too bad at all.
We'll be going to sprend a few days with John's parent's and his son and daughter in a few weeks...and then off to see my family the first week in January. I'd much sooner see the little ones before Christmas, but this seems to work out better for everyone...and we have our own festive time--just alittle later is all!!!
Ebay sales have been good. I've sold several hats and patterns...and people seem to be happy with their purchases. It's all good...
Well, I better get into that craft room and start up that sewing machine. Have a great day...and here's hoping your holiday plans are falling into place!!!
See ya soon!
