Don't be under the mistaken impression that I am one of those
organized sorts that is ready for the holidays by any means.
Heck. I can't even get to the ornaments and decorations, they
are on a storage units WAY in the back of the barn, behind ten
tons of stuff. Kristen assures me we will have them out, and the
house clean, by the day after Thanksgiving! I guess she knows
the decorating elves personally or something! LOL! :o) |
This is possibly the best bit of news
coverage I have seen thus far on Lyme disease -
http://tiny.cc/fR4vZ , from CTV news in Canada.
---covering the actual disease rather than the politics surrounding it.
It feels so encouraging to see something like this! Tomorrow I am taking
a trip to the coast to see another doctor as an interim measure while I
wait for an appointment in New York....and so it goes.
In the meantime...
Here's a cute Christmas Wallhanging pattern! I thought you
would enjoy! {not mine...this one is from
Kookaburra Cottage!) As a fusible appliqué project, it seems as
though it could easily be done for Christmas, don't you agree!
Kookaburra has lots of really cute patterns!

EYE
CANDY ALERT! Have you seen the GLASS Dear
Jane quilt-
HERE?
You can also see more about the process of making the tiny glass
blocks
here! Thanks for telling me about this Jeri--it is
absolutely amazing! |
Saturday we watched the
Disney /Pixar movie "Up" ...what a cute film! Yeah...I am 55,
yet I still find that many kid movies are more to my liking than many
adult-target movies. It's refreshing to have something be just FUNNY!
Less Death. More laughter. It's all good!
Other than that, it was another quiet
week, as all my weeks lately seem to be. MAN that makes it hard to write
a newsletter! I had an email last week, from a site viewer who has
noticed a dramatic change in my pattern production, and in the flavor of
the newsletters. Believe me. I know :o( It isn't a situation of my
own making, and perhaps I more than anyone look forward to a return to
"normalcy" around here! In the meantime, as I told the women who wrote,
I sure hope that all of you can get some enjoyment out of the collection
of patterns and information on the site, while I am on the mend!
It turned warm again here in central Maine
this week, and one would think I'd be dancing a jig as we spend less
on heating oil when it is warm, but NOOO, because to me, warm
weather this time of year means one other thing...SKUNKS! Seems as
though every time I try to let Sam out for her last call of duty for
the day, there is either the wafting odor of Eau 'd Skunk, or one of
the fat fellows is waddling around out in the dog pen, or in the
barn. Poor Sam winds up having to cross her legs 'til morning. :o(
All for now...laundry is beckoning...I hope you
all have a great week!
