Working on....

Quilt blocks in autumn colors for a fall swap and a crocheted baby blanket. It's been so long since I last did anything quilted related I was like a kid in a candy store at the fabric shop. Off to press fabric for the blocks now.

Happy Fourth of July

Have fun, stay safe and enjoy the weekend!

Farrah's Story

Watched "Farrah's Story" tonight and was very touched by it. It was both uplifting and very sad. Also very frustrating as it's just not right that people in the U.S. don't have the access to alternative treatments that are available elsewhere. Fortunately, Farrah has the means to seek the alternative treatments but there are hundreds of thousands of others who don't and are pretty much at the mercy of the medical system here. I have nothing but respect for the lady, she's handled her situation extremely well and to have a camera around during those key times had to be hard, but I thank her for it and will keep her in my thoughts.

It's really too bad. Having Crohn's I look for anything that can alleviate my condition but I'm pretty much stuck with conventional medicine for the time. Can't really afford the conventional either, but what else can you do?

Blossoms outside my new library

It's finally warming up. I love it.

Moving...still...

We've gotten the furniture in and a lot of stuff, but we're still packing up things for storage. We got help from 2 great guys via emove.com and they were amazing. We'll be using them again when we move the things into storage. They wouldn't let us do more than pointing out what had to go and they did all the hauling. Fast, friendly and reliable.

Still doing the unpacking after work and on days off. Heading back to the old place today to work on packing up more stuff. I've got my little crafting corner behind my desk and I'm itching to use it. The quilting frame is going in the living room. Fortunately, it's one that folds down and doesn't take a lot of space and I can pull it up to quilt. That's why I bought it when I was in my apartment in the first place. And I can go from small to king size. I've got to get all the pieces of it over here and put it up.

Anyway, that's the status on the move as it stands.

Happy Easter Everyone!

All systems are go!

We found out today that we got the place we wanted so we are now very happily finishing the packing and planning the final move. Jay is investigating cable/DSL packages and I'm more concerned with the logistics and getting out of here as soon as possible.

We'll probably be moving the basic stuff and boxes ourselves starting as soon as possible and the appliances and furniture with help on April 14th. I'm so excited, it's like a giant cloud has lifted and the sun is beaming down.

Also, I got my two new cookbooks from Amazon today and they look wonderful. I'll definitely post more about them later.
