Where has the time gone?






Dear Friends

Hard to believe that it's been over a month since I last posted. It has been a busy month with work and trying to organize the first shipment of stuff for DH to set up our western home. You'll all be glad to know that load #1 has left home finally. Clayton and the moving team showed up Wednesday morning, packed what needed to be packed (the really fragile stuff) and loaded it into the truck. And just before the movers left, the cable guys showed up to restore our service that had been cut by the city in redoing our road - evidently somebody forgot to call before they dug. By lunchtime, all was right with the world again - all the boxes were gone and I was able to communicate with everyone I needed to (losing your home phone right in the final days of a trans-country move means many backup plans). Now to get everything ready for me and the kids to fly out this weekend and see DH and our new home.



On the crafting scene I've been trying to finish up some UFO's, including.....
Sejia Blanket for Abby in Bernat Cottontots
and another for a baby to come in Bernat Satin (and the hat worked out really well too!)
and this lovely Sweaterknits Wild Silk Shawl made for my aunt.
This morning I finished off my spring socks but the camera on my cell phone won't take any more pictures. You'll just have to wait for my camera to return from experiencing Europe with our daughter. Next big decision will be which project for the trip west! Do I continue on with finishing off some UFO's and work on my Jaywalker socks or ease the urge to start something new and cast on yet another pair of socks....... and then which ones??? In the meantime it's off to do laundry and get the packing started.
take care
