Depression

You know what....? an' this is a hard thing to admit. I've been in a horrible funk for several months now. I think the correct term for it is called 'Depression'. I really don't know where else to go with this statement and I could go on and name & blame a thousand things for this, but honestly, I don't have the energy. I really do miss doing things with this blog. Taking picture's, some sewing and all the other things a blog is supposed to allow me to share. But, what do you do when something like this happens?....share it too. I'm not so sure I'm ready for that.
So, until things get better........Thank you for stopping by.

In memory of Miss Dottie

My dog Miss Dottie has passed on. Last Wednesday I had to make the horrible decision to have her put to sleep. She had developed an infection and needed to have a hysterectomy, to which she might not have made it through. She was 11yrs old and had cancer, so, it would've been really hard on her to recover.
My house now is far too quiet without her and Miss Gin-Gin sits at the back door trying to look 'under' the door...I think expecting Dottie to come back in .
This is really hard...so I'm going to finish up this post with....I will be forever glad that I got the chance to be her mom.

It's been way Too Long

I really can't believe how long it's been since I've written in my blog, but painting walls and putting in wood floors will do that to ya. Something you think should only take a few weeks...at most...for most people....took me... a few months. I've only to put up a base-board...and finish the kitchen and front door 'transitions', and my living-room will be done!


This is the only picture of the floor I have at the moment....it was taken when I was taking a picture of one of my 50th Birthday's present's. (I'm in heaven), It's a 32" Kromski Rigid Heddle Loom.
See..... It show's the floor...sort of. (grin). - (sorry the picture is so shaky).


My birthday was very, very low key. My mom drove up from California. So that was really cool.......We had a great time while she was here. -

Over on the side here show's another one of my Birthday gifts. Months ago I had handed over my fabric 'wish list'...never.... ever dreaming that I would get it, but look...look at all that fabric. I'm so happy. This will be a great winter. What to make?, What to make?....and how far can I make it last? New fabric is so hard for me to cut into.
(big smile). I want to put up more shelves just to stack it up and stare at it for a while.


Also for a 'quick fix', I did do a little sewing in between all of the above. I made a little cosmetic bag from a Amy Butler pattern, it's the "Stash & Dash" bags. I really think I could of been a little more creative in picking the fabric out, but it was just too easy to use what I did. I also finished a pair of pajamas that have been laying on the back of my chair for a few months. - I still have to put the buttons on.




And......last but not least, I did pull out a few more pieces of Aunt Jane's vintage fabric...but I'll be posting them on my Flickr page.

Not posting.....

I will not be posting on my web-page for another few weeks yet. Sorry.
But thank you.... to those of you who have stopped by. I know that several of you have stayed awhile reading this....(still as of yet...very new and boring site...who only has 1 follower..... -smile-), and have actually come back thinking I might have posted something new....only to find out - that I have not. But, as long as you are here, please go down and visit those site's I do frequently visit, because they are a very active bunch....and I just love their site's. And if you like sewing, knitting, spinning, weaving, cooking and just good everyday home life...then you'll like these site's too.

OK, Well,..... I'll add more to my pages when everything settles down around here.
So, until then..........Thanks again
