Morning, forgot to tell you all tht while in Colorado, I got to go through the Hobby Lobby store in Fort Collins to pass some time. I was in hog heaven and I didn't even go through the whole store . The variety of yarn and supplies. Unreal. Our house is about an hour and a half from town ,but Fort Collins ,also has Michaels and JoAnn's and who knows what else yet to be discovered.
On a current note DH applied for and got a Ficticious Name and business license yesterday so he can do some work for his past company. Company rules won't allow him t go back otherwise. He will be gone 3 weeks at a time on the job and it is to last a minimum of 3 months. I'll find things to do . Even though I'll miss him, I may get back to some sort of a routine for a while . We'll have to wait and see how this works out. Have a good weekend all

Hi all, We just got back from a week in Colorado. We were 80 miles from the tornado. We got some heavy hail and rain,but that was it.. Rain off and on ,so we didn't get some painting done.There's always next time. I made some good progress on the Classic car counted cross stitch that I'm working on. I need to get back to the short sleeve cardigan . I,also, brought back my tattting info. I want to practice with it and I'd like to create a wedding garter. We'll see. Not sure when my girl will teach me how to do picture,but not for a while. I can wait. Talk to you all soon. It's back to the picture and the kitties that seem to have missed DH and I.

Hi all, Hope your weekend has gone well and it's not too hot. I helped hubby do tile today. Help isn't exactly the word. I mix mortar, hand him the level,pencil or whatever. He's very good at it though he was a tool designer for airplanes and did tool repair and sometime aricraft repair before he retired. We are headed to Colorado for about a week . Mountain air and cooler air.

Morning all, Mom in law came home from the hospital tired ,but seems fine. That's great for 85 . I am continuing on my counted cross stitch car picture and looking for ideas to cover some areas on a bag that puffy paint lettering did not come off of when the place I had mentioned shut down. I thought multicolr butterflies ,but they are too big. I'm not giving up the search though. Have a great day . It is windy here in the Antelope Valley.

Hi all, Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. My daughter and daughter-in-law found a Monopoly game for crafters called Stitchoply. What a kick, huh. .Good meal by my sun Sat and calls from the others today. Haven't done a bit of crafting in a couple of days. Mother-in- law went into hospital on emergency basis and we are in Calif and she's in Colorado so we wait for news to see if we will be making the trip

Hi, I'm Mom ( Nancy) a 65 year old Mom of 5 and Grandmom to 3. My daughter has convinced me to try blogging. I'm not sure what she is thinking. She still has t teach me how to do pictures. I'm a slow learner on computer things as I did not grow up with them . When I was young they filled a room. I am a lover of crafts. Mostly the needlework type ,though, I trying to learn bead work and polymer clay. Slow going since I'm unsure of myself. I like cooking and trying new recipes ,some successes ,some failures. Fortunately more of the former though, this weeks Chicken with Mozarella and tomatoes was a no go. I'l love to talk to like minded people
