Change, orphans and balance

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The day is bright and shining here in my little corner of the Fort. A combination of sunshine and fantastic thunderstorms have brought out the green in the trees and the grass. One thing I've done over the last few months with the change in schedule is continue to get up early and I love the quiet and how fresh the day feels. What did we do this last week? Last week I talked about clearing out items of past lives and I have been doing just that. A full car load of donations along with several listings on Ebay have gotten my cleanup started. I knew that 2020 would be a year of change...

Holiday, traditions and the upcoming market

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's quiet in my little corner of the Fort this morning. Maybe that's a reason I like early mornings and late nights, the quiet.

This was our first time attending one and it was fun to get out and do something new.  On the craft front I've been weaving. Rapunzel and I finally got the fine silk detangled, tied on and started. These are going to be...

A gift and getting back in the swing of things

Good morning and Happy Sunday to all of you! It may still be hot here but summer is winding down. Serra has gone to band camp all week to remember how to play her baritone sax again and marching band camp begins for Amanda on Monday. Nothing like 8-9 hour days of music, marching and sun. So what did I do this last week? We got to celebrate a birthday Friday evening so I can finally share a gift :) It's the traveling socks! My girls always give me grief for gifting socks to a July birthday. Well it's not my fault that that's when it is or that Redfish Dyeworks carries a Merino/Silk blend that I love. This project...
