I haven't been a very faithful blogger....what else can I say??
Christmas is just alittle over 3 weeks away....are you ready? We will be heading down to my youngest son's place for a few days and then back into Canada to celebrate the holiday with my husband's parents. I am NOT doing any decorating and will only be sending a few cards. My heart isn't into it this year and I can do what I damn well please. Maybe next year will be different...maybe not.
Have several special orders for crocheted hats, slippers and mittens....
hope to be done within the next week or two. Here's another one of my cotton hats. It's a lovely "spring" colored hat....a "happy" hat!!
Until next time...hopefully sooner than later....stay warm.
Just a quick note...wanted to show you one of my latest hats. It's a Slouchy Beanie in charcoal grey. Have it listed in my eBay store as well as on etsy...let's hope things pick up soon. The Christmas season should be making it's move soon.
Still preparing for our yard sale. Now it looks like we might get some rain on Saturday. I think it's time to pick out a "rain date". I have boxes and boxes of "goodies" to get rid of...and I still haven't put a dent in those cupboards and closets.
Well...better get busy. Would much rather sit and do NOTHING...but things won't get done that way!!
I have had this potted plant for well over a month...and it remains the same as the day I bought it..FULL of unopened blooms!! Maybe I should stick it out in my rock garden and it will flourish next year.
We're getting ready for a yard sale. Since my Mom passed on, this place resembles a ware house. (Yes, you read that right.) I will keep things that hold a special place in my heart, and the rest will either have to be sold or go to a local thrift store. I cannot keep everything. It's time to be BRUTAL!!
Well...I better get my butt in gear...I have so much to do for this yard sale!! If it doesn't sell, it is NOT coming back into this house!! True story!!
Well, my news of the day!! And it's very exciting. My hubby, John, went down to visit his parents...with the intention of going to the Annual Iroquois Car Show...which he did. Out of the 300 or so vintage cars there, he took BEST OF SHOW aka JUDGE'S CHOICE..the most prestigious award there is to be given. No...nothing monetary...but he's bringing home a really neat trophy. Told me it must weigh 20 pounds!! Isn't that just "the greatest"?
So, here it is. His 1957 Hudson Metropolitan and the trailer he built to match!!!
My day?? I worked...which was pretty uneventful. Had coffee with my buddy, Toby, and took Oggie Dog for a walk. Don't know why, but I'm just beat. Need a nap, but it's too late in the day.
So...with that, I better get off by butt and do something....think I'll go sort buttons.
Congrats Johnnie!!!
And hope you've enjoyed your week-end!!
Yes...I'm still at it. Shedding all of the "over-flow" from my craft room!! How's it going...you ask?? SLOW..very slow and stressful. I have such a hard time parting with "stuff". I've managed to take 2 bags of clothing over to one of our local thrift stores and have a large box ready for the yard sale.
Getting rid of some of my yarn is very difficult. I'm holding off. But I did manage to list 3 skeins of Lion Brand Chenille...which has now been discontinued. It's very pretty, but just not my "cup of tea". I hate working with it.
Need some yarn??????? Stop on over and shop in MY store!!
Have a great Saturday. :)
Yes...I am shedding. I'm going through my closet and getting rid of clothes I haven't worn in years. I've lost some weight and have keep it off for over a year now...so I think I'm safe!!! I also inherited a bunch of clothes from my Mom...most of it fits...some is just too tight for my liking. I've managed to take 2 bags of nice things over to one of our local thrift stores. Had to do it "right way" before I changed my mind. Now...I can't remember half of the items I bagged up...so obviously, they won't be missed.
It's been a very trying month. My Mom passed away on the 25th of July. I was with her...and although death is so damn "final", it was a beautiful moment. Make sense??? She brought me into this world and I was there to help her out. She spoke of dying the last day or two...so I knew it was just a matter of time. I miss her.....and I have a broken heart.....but I know she's here with me. I can feel her presence.
On that note...I will leave you to go back to my "shedding"....and think of my beautiful Mother.
I miss You.....
Where does the time go?? It's been almost 3 months since I've posted. No excuses...I guess life just got in the way.
I won't linger on about the last few months...other than it's been busy!! I managed to get my garden in....my rock garden is a mess.....and I managed to get some crocheting done.
I'll start "fresh" with a picture of one of my hats. I've changed the pattern slightly...more of a slouchy beanie than a larger tam. Seems to be all "the go" at the time being.....
I made this out of Peaches & Creme SCENTS...Soothing Aloe...100% cotton. Nice variegated greens...
Hope you enjoy your week-end!!! Will share more with you next time!!!
