I have been very busy since I decided to take my break. In the short time I have been away a lot has happened.
First a real sweet and good, long-time friend of ours has passed away. I have known Rick for thirty-some years or more. He passed away last week and his funeral is tomorrow. My love to his wife Donna, and their children, Graham and Hailey. Rick was one of those people who gave, gave, gave - he was funny and kind, always there when you needed him... a real good friend...and he cooked a mean turkey. Love you Rick - rest in peace, my friend...
I made a 18 minute you-tube video on how to make bread-dough clay... if you are interested you can watch it here...

I will be following it up soon with another video on what and how to create things from the clay...
I finished the afghan for my great-niece who has started college away from home...
I inherited more yarn - real hand spun wool (on the floor) this time from my neighbor Elaine. So now my stash looks like this...
Looks like a lot but believe it or not - not enough of any one thing to make a human sweater. However there is more than enough to do many doll outfits!
And speaking of dolls... I made new pj's for my Cathy's so they could participate in the first ever Chatty Cathy PJ Party on Facebook. It was awesome - we all had a blast - and my photo was one of the top 5 chosen ( out of hundreds) so I am pretty happy about that.
Next Up?
Still trying to get outfits done to open my Etsy shop... there is a Halloween Masquerade Party coming up next month for the Cathy's... I already know what I'm dressing one up as...
Choir is great this year - I am enjoying being back singing again...
The fall weather is upon us - much cooler - yeah - the leaves are starting to turn, and every morning I hear the geese flying south.
Winter is just around the corner...
It's all good...
Till next time - take care everyone!
Isn't this the cutest girl you ever saw?
Hey Dale, I missed getting to see you and Gary. Hopefully we can find some time to come and visit.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry - I didn't think you would have enough time, and Donna and family needed you more... another time, for sure!
