It’s been a while . . .

It’s been a while since I last posted. Through the Christmas-New Year’s holiday period, we moved back to our “old” home.  It isn’t quite big enough for two pack rats and three dogs, but it’s more affordable for the time being.

 

I’ve been working on a couple of crochet designs.  One, I hope to publish soon, the the other design will come later.  I’ve also been making a quilt for my lovely niece.  It’s burgundies and blues in a log cabin design.   I had it ready to lay out the blocks to decide on the final design layout, when …….. duh!  I’m one block short!!  So back to the sewing machine & rotary cutter I go.  I was in the middle of the last block when it was time to move, so the project is on a short hiatus.  Hopefully I can get back to it soon.

 

For those who don’t know me, I’m, a single grandmother and have a roommate (or is it housemate?).  We’ve been friends for years and an opportunity arose that allows us to live in the same house sharing expenses and babysitting each other’s dogs.  “M” goes to nursing shool (LVN, then RN) and I stay home making and selling my creations.  We’re not rich,,,,,,, but I love the lack of stress!

 

I’m sort of a “lay” historian and hope to finish my degree after “M” gets her RN completed.  I need my BA then want to get my MA.  I’m a voracious reader, I’ve been reading about ladies in WWII (service women), Henry the VIII’s life and wives and ancient Egypt lately.  I not only enjoy the history, I enjoy well-written novels from a historical perspective.  If you haven’t read Nefertiti by Michelle Moran, take a look at it.  I highly recommentd it.

 

Wow!  I didn’t know what I could come up with to write, but it appears that once startedI can’t shut up!

 

I’m going now to do more reading and work on my pattern so my lovely testers can get started on it.

 

Bye for now
