another run to the er...

that could have been handled elsewhere. Now I have my own nebulizer and think that I can handle most of what life throws at me.
The lungs feel a bit worse for wear, and I have enough steroids in me that I am yelling at the furniture. Plus side is I am getting some stuff finished up. Other stuff started. Ideas popping up around me. I like that part of the process.
I may not post for a couple of days because I want to finish the shawl, and post that.

no pic today

as I need to get back to the packing up of stuff. I am finding that packing up with an oxygen tank in tow has slowed the entire process way down. Still it is coming right along in a slow kinda way. Any progress counts. Looking forward to a break and hafla this weekend!

That is what she looks like...


That is what the little house looks like from the street. Soon to be the place of homie goodness.
It's just really a pic of the sun porch and attic but she has lots of possibilities.

Grey Shawl




I found "The Secret of the One-Skein Shawl" on the Knitter's Review and thought why not give it a go... and a go... and a go... and third skein in I think I will finish it off. It is knit up in Caron's simply soft grey heather as that is what my DH brought me when I wasn't feeling well one day! Who wouldn't love that. I think that she looks lovely on the deck off the front door, yes, that is the front entrance to the neighbors house... why I need oxygen!!!! LOL I think she will look equally lovely in a book store with a cuppa, or my new/ old sun porch!

Just words today


The packing of boxes is coming right along. I plan to take a picture of the shawl in progress later this afternoon as the sun becomes a bit brighter on the deck, so I can get a better pic. I am on my third skien of yarn and will probably end with this one.

The only thing I am going to miss about being here is the view. In town I won't have the horizon views. Though I think I will get out to see the sights more often because of it! LOL

The booties are up for sale at www.1makerofstuff.etsy.com

Looks like...



I am going to have to make a photo station soon. A new camera is in my future, but the move comes first. The bullion roses just don't come out for me, and they are SO pretty in person. Must have more light!

correction

above left is top
above is middle
below left is below
today has been long... I am going to find a cuppa and the fire

Looks like I am a posting fool today...




Isn't this a fine way to spend a spring day. No wonder it is flooding down stream. Top left should be about 8am. Above about 10am. Bottom left about 1pm. All melty and stuff... then the clouds came back. The snow returned. To be continued. Right now it is snowing hard and foggy.

ok... added a blog

I think that I have gone stir crazy from the snow. There has been a 70 breach in the levey in Pueblo, due to the amount of run off from the snow. Snowing hard again.
Etsy has become my solice today.

Because I felt that this would be fun...

I will be having a meeting at my home (reminding people that I have furbearers) on the third Saturday of the month in the afternoon. Please contact me for further information.
The goal is to help promote those that craft and market their own stuff.
Getting off the computer before the power goes out again. Should be stable by tonight. Then I will post more pics.

I think it is time for the snow to stop...

somehow snow in May is just wrong when all I want to do is play in the dirt!
Because of the snow and the rain I didn't get any photos of the house to put in here. So I will take some more pictures of stuff to put up tomorrow.

packing limbo

does not mean you have to dance under a stick with the plates on your tummy!
I will be happy to move down hill where it isn't snowing half the day still.
My heart and best wishes go out to those who were caught in yesterdays bad weather patterns.
I may not be posting really routinely for the next few days as I get it all packed up and transfered from here to there.
But I will be thinking of you and all the beads and stuff that are in that pile of boxes somewhere and if I could just find it I could make it into ... well... something... you know?

Okay... Got the cottage!!!!

*doing the happy hippee houseie dance* We got the house! She is a lovely little house. With a south facing sun porch for the winter time and rainy days! She was built in 1927 and will have no greater enviornmental impact than she has already had. Next roofing will include solar technology! The yard is small enough that I can tend it unaided. Am I smitten... You Bet Cha!
David likes her enough to let me follow my love for it. Sometimes husbands are the most wonderful creatures. I personally think I got the bestest one.

May Day

We had some gentle rain and nice temps. I am hoping that Spring has finally arrived in the Rockies. Everyone needs a bit of spring in their steps today.
Good news on my medical front (and back too!) and I am a happy girl.
