Yikes

Oh you know how it goes........those feelings of uncertainty....well, that's where I'm at. I think it's spurred by some changes at work. I think what lies on the other side will be good, but getting there makes me loose some sleep. It just never fails........home life is settling in and now work is errupting. Go figure. All I have to say is thank God they don't both errupt at once.

Ways I can navigate these waters:

Patience
Don't act knee jerk
know that this too shall pass
get excited about doing things better
do my research

Get lots of sleep..........ok........Good night!

Spring, maybe?

Well, here it is almost the first of May and the snow remains on the ground. It was gone, then covered with 36 inches a couple weeks ago, gone again, and covered again by 10 inches last weekend....it might be really going we shall see.

Well, I feel like my knitting is going to be taking a back seat to scrapbooking for awhile....I've gotten back into the scrapping and I'm enjoying it...the knitting will not be far away tho.

It's hard to believe but in another month we will have lived here for a year..it seems like just yesterday we moved in. It's been a really good year, many fun things happening with the remodel and all the visitors.

Speaking of remodel, all we have left in the inside is the flooring and that should be done next week. Yipeeeeeeeeeee. Then comes the garage.

The summer is shapping up to be a busy one...the Staley wedding, visits from relatives, Aaron & Sarah's wedding and a friends wedding shower. Hopefully it won't speed by too fast.

Well, that's off the top of my head now....I'm signing off..........

24 years ago

My oh my, it's a little chaotic right now......we are moving forward with the remodel on a wing and a prayer.....the craft closet is done - and it's very cool. 10 feet for floor to ceiling cupboards that I can close the doors to! Now my yarn, fabric & scrapping stuff will have the home it deserves.....I just hope there's enough room!

My Johnny turned 24 this week. Unreal. He is such a sweet boy! Kind, introspective and creative. I love to see him smile, his face just lights up, always has, always will. We (John, Jenny & I) went to Red Lobster to celebrate. It's was cool to spend time just with the two of them.
I'm so pleased with the man he has become.

I can't wait until this organizaing gets done so I can craft.....I'm going through craft d.t.'s

Princess Grace of Northome

Here's the newest babe in the house.....she's about 3 months old here.

Nuttin' Manors

Well, well, it's February and all is calm in the North Country. My knitting has been put on hold while we get things in line to put in the kitchen, bath, etc. We will have this place into a real house before you know it.

Princess Grace of Northhome is such a good dog.....and smart as a whip. If that darn chewing would just go away. Oh well, in time....

Linds & Nik were here a couple weekends ago when it was 25 below. They brought my Grandcats Captain Murphy & Milles...........I sure enjoyed spoiling the two of them (Linds & Nik, not the cats). I hope all had a nice relaxing weekend.....

I finished a quilt top for my niece yesterday and might work on finishing that up this weekend. I'm not too motivated....

Just living the good life up here where Nuttin Manors :)

Welcome Grace

Interesting that an earlier post was about Grace.......as we now have a new puppy that we've name Grace....."Princess Grace of Northhome" is the full name, but just Gracie for short....she is the big dog I've always wanted, at least I hope she will be....she's 9 weeks old now, black and white and quite a mix of dogs......hopefully some border collie, lab & springer...who knows.....

Life's been pretty darn good right now! Tommy was here for the weekend before going back to college......I'm so proud of that boy!

It's been a wonderful warm spell here......40 degrees today.

Hopefully life will be settling down now, the house is sold and we are soon to get the kitchen, bath & floors done. Whooo hooo....

So, I sign off happy in the woods with my hubby, 2 cats and 3 dogs.........

long time, no blog

I'm back! I'm going to try and use this more frequently as it's a great opportunity to capture thoughts.......etc. Well, we are living the good life here in Northern Minnesota. Today the snow is gently falling and it sounds like we may get a good amount. I've been knitting Chewy (the old man cocker) a dog coat as I took him in for a haircut the other day and he's cold here up north!
I've been busy knocking off knitting projects too for Christmas....those will be posed on Ravelry.

I suppose our biggest news is we sold our house down south. It's been on the market almost a year, and that's been a painful year, but hopefully, God willing and the creek don't rise, it will be all wrapped up on Dec 20. My oh my what a wonderful day.

well, rock on you all, over & out
