Blaahh

Today is a blah day, it's raining, so no chopping firewood right now. I know that's a strange thing to say but I enjoy it. There is something about seeing that pile of split wood growing in front of you and knowing that it will keep your family warm this winter and the next. It's relaxing, calming and fullfilling. Crazy you say?...yes probably, but for me it works.

To top it off the kids have cabin fever, it has been raining for days and we are all wearing on each others nerves. So not only is it a blah day but, I feel blah, I look blah,blah blah blah blah blah! I want to be out chopping wood. I am tempted to sit the kids in front of the Tv and watch them from the screen door while I go out and get rid of some this blah. Besides that's a lot of wood and right now it's kind of blocking the driveway....and it's only rain.

So long but not forgotten

Well spring and summer have come and gone a I have not written a thing on this blog. Partially not my fault some horrible little virus thing got on our computer and I couldn't get on to this website. Then accck couldn't get on to any website. Tried fixing it and couldn't finally I just gave up and started saving to get the machine fixed. Well I got used to not having the computer and all the things I managed to get done. Amazing. So then we forgot about fixing it. The other day I tried again to fix it an cross fingers knock on wood and all that stuff. It seems that I have kicked the bug to the curb. I waited a few days before attempting to get on the blog and so now here I am.

I'll post pics later but here are some of the things I can remember finishing this summer. I made the little princess two new summer dresses so cute. A skirt, a tutu and crochet new slippers for both my babies. Pink and purple felted ballet stlye slippers and blue shagged dogs with googly eyes for the little guy. Crochet a new door mat out of my husbands old T-shirts, looks quite nice I might add. Started and finished one lap blanket with cream and brown wool from my stash. I will have to keep an eye out for more of the same I still think the blanket is too short. Started on another really crazy blanket, I'll post a pic when it's down and also started on a blue themed granny square blanket. The goal this summer was to finish started projects and any new ones could only be made with things already in my stash. I am proud to say I have accomplished that goal not a single new craft thing was bought this summer. Can't forget the little man, he got a "man apron" made from Daddy's old jeans and some leftover camo fabric. He loves it. Pirate costumes for him and his sister and Daddy made wooden swords from some leftover bits. They turned out really well. I'm sure there was more but that's all I can remember right now.

Now that I've got this computer working again maybe I'll be able to keep a better handle on this Blog thing.
