Well, we made it to Vancouver today after leaving home yesterday. The trip over the Blueberry Paulson was rough with a lot of snow and very slushy roads. DH took a turn at driving after we got on to clear roads. I took over again at Rock Creek. Just after I started driving the weatherContinueContinue reading “The Next Adventure Begins”

Hope Springs Eternal
I saw that Kim at Persimmon Dreams had a quick Hop going on and decided that I would jump in with a couple of quick projects. I finished up my projects but forgot to account for the different time zones when trying to link up this morning! Good thing I had fun anyhow! With theContinueContinue reading “Hope Springs Eternal”
2019 Finish Along
My year has begun with another unpack of my boxes and bins from the storage room to do another sort and purge! Since moving out of the house (3600 sq ft) in October and into a temporary apartment (600 sq ft) I have discovered I don’t have enough space to sort my already put togetherContinueContinue reading “2019 Finish Along”
Happy New Year
I’m hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family, great food, fun times and perhaps even some time to fondle fabric. Mine was an unusual one this year. We left home on a rainy, slushy morning and headed to Sandpoint to spend some time with DH’s wonderful sister in law for her birthday.ContinueContinue reading “Happy New Year”

Best of 2018
I was looking for photos for my favourite finishes of the year and discovered that I am so bad at remembering to take pictures.

Productive Monday
I didn’t get much sewing done over the weekend, between a 75th birthday party for DH’s ex father in law ( we had the best time and even got to see the American contingent of the family!) and our annual Christmas party at the Slocan Valley Threads Guild monthly meeting. I did get to eatContinueContinue reading “Productive Monday”

Funny how things change!
Yesterday was DH’s regular weekly doctor’s appointment in Nelson, BC. Stopped to get the groceries on my list and new SIM cards for our phones. Then I had to haul butt to the Golf course. We met Pat and signed a rental agreement. So it is now decided. After living in a 3700 square footContinueContinue reading “Funny how things change!”

News’s
it has been too long since I posted but it has been weird here this summer! We had a pending sale of the property which dragged on for months. You know the drill; everything 3/4 packed , purged and sorted, living out of boxes, no time to fondle fabric. Then the fires started in BCContinueContinue reading “News’s”

Progress!
I am starting to get excited! Things are progressing here. First of all, only 2 more costumes and one rose crown to finish for the school. Not bad for only having 2 weeks to get them done. At first I was told they needed 37 costumes. With changes in design and the addition of 2ContinueContinue reading “Progress!”
