I will try

I have the blogger app for my phone now so maybe just maybe I will be able to post more. I need to go to my old blog and maybe have a few throwback posts! Like when I was pregnant with Elijah!!!!! I have not crafted much at all in the past year but really really want to again. I feel better about myself when I am creating. Soooooo... Maybe I will have something to post soon! I'm sure a few words of encouragement might help motivate me. Hint hint ;)

A wonderfully good and creative family that i know just lost their house to fire. Also at least one kitty =( They both work from home and have lost everything. you can see all of their creative works on their pages

Wordless Wednesday

Reading out in the sunshine

Elijah and i are reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians * Tale of the Lightning Thief. We enjoyed taking in a chapter out in the side yard in the sunshine several days back. The kitties joined us =) Look at Elijah's cute long hair while you can! It's all cut off now and he looks like such a big boy (i cant stand it). It looks good if you aren't me though. Sooner or later i will put pics up.

more pics... i little better

here are a few more pics of the wheel in a bit better light

spinning wheel pics

My aunt Ramona got me a spinning wheel for christmas. Since i've always used a drop spindle i really dont know all that much about spinning wheels. i have some really bad picstures i am posting. Its night time and so i went in the hallway and took pics with my cell phone because it was actually one of the best places for the light. not much room, not great lighting, and the fact that they are taken with the phone make them blurry and icky but you will get an idea. i need help figuring out what is missing and where to get the parts. i know it is missing the drive band or whatever you call it. there is also a hole (that you will see in the pics) that appears to have a purpose and i figue it is the keep the wheel on the body. with the pedally thingy (i hope you speak Lacyese because i have my own language)connected to the body and wheel i know it should pedal ... and it does but it hits the ground and wont continue to spin the wheel. i figure if all else fails i can jack it up with bricks/books or something lol. it doesnt have to be pretty i just want it to work.

Last week part 2

And i forgot to say... Elijah caught his very first fish the other day =) He was all worked up about it for a couple days.

Last week part 1

Well these pics aremt exactly in order but thats ok. Last week we were outside having fun. Most of the time =) We couldnt help ourselves because it was just that nice out. We visited Morrie/ the pond, played in Wolf Bay, hung out in E's dad's back yard and our back yard. I got some ouchy mean thorny vines and baby oaks out of my blueberry bushes. If the wind dies down we will burn a couple piles of vines that we cut out of the yard this winter. When i catch up around the house i need a day to bake bready necessities. Then i will go on another beer coozie crocheting and felting extravaganza =)

... And finish sewing those damn pants.
