I have not fallen off the face of the earth, I have just been busy and strangely lacking in anything pithy to say so therefore the blog has been silent. I will try to figure out something of interest to impart as I go along but I would not be holding your breath if I were you. Its not that I am not doing anything, its just it takes some time for it all to come back to me. My memory is pudding these days.
Best Friend was here for the weekend. She arrived on Thursday, one day earlier than planned due to weather then slipped off again on Monday morning to complete her rounds of work and business. RRSP season brings her out at this time of year and it makes a nice little break for me. We had a lovely time. We really did not do much, visit, eat, sleep, tiny bit of shopping then visit and sleep, and visit and talk and talk and talk. We never seem to be at a loss for things to talk about.
Friday night the No Cook Gang thought that the Banker and I should go to the Irish Pavilion since it is Winterfest and all. We will be travelling to the real place in September of this year, so all things Irish are very important. Best Friend was here to join in on the fun and we had a blast. The food was good, the music and dancers excellent and I toasted it all with a pint of Guinness. Yum. We took in three more pavilions before the night was over. I have never ventured out to Winterfest, it was all new to me. I, have apparently, been missing out. I need to get out of the house more
Busy and the Carpenter were here last weekend, well not quite the whole weekend, they arrived late on Thursday night and then had to head to the big city and their plane to Jamaica on Friday afternoon. Our visit was short but sweet. They are going to stop in again this weekend on their way back home again. I like that they take the time to stop in and spend the night with me when they are passing through. I have not had an email since they have been gone but I am hoping that they are having a very good time. I mean, its Jamaica Man!!
Monday night, T, the Banker and I made aprons for the No Cook Friday ladies to wear to a trivia night that we will be at in a couple of weeks. We will be very stylish!! Aprons for a no cook group seemed a little silly but appropriate at the same time. So what else is going on in my life, oh yes, Wednesday night is Book Club and for the second time since I joined I will not have actually read the book. Then on Thursday night the Banker and I are off the the movies, Friday night is a Bud, Spud and Steak night for the No Cook crowd and then after that we are off to the Hostess' house for her Reno Reveal party. Saturday night is Busy and the Carpenter then the week is done.
Tonight I am catching up on the laundry and making a tote bag for a friend. I have a puppet order to finish, (9 of the little critters), a pair of mitts to knit, a puppy puppet to complete and a quilt to work on. I knit a couple of baby hats while Best Friend and I were chatting the weekend away and got one of the mitts finished. The second one will go faster because I have a idea of what I am making this time. These are not just plain old ordinary mitts.
These mitts are a challenge. The have a glove inside and the finger end of the mitt is open, with a little flap over the end so you can pull it down and expose the glove portion. I have no pattern so its been fun figuring out how to make them. A co-worker loves the original pair but they are too long for her little hands. She approached me and asked so now I am trying to recreate them only shorter. I like a challenge.
Next week I am off for four days, then back to work for Friday then off for the long weekend. I am only working Friday because we are short staffed and my vacation buddy wants to go away that weekend. I am just going to be at home so I told her to take the day and I would work it so she could be away. This leaves me one day of vacation to use up next month. Win win!!
I am hoping to get some projects finished and purge my closet while I am off. As usual I have a mile long to do list. Oh my. It is good to keep busy. So there you go, that is me updated. I need to go and work on something before I have to go to bed.
I will try to blog a little more often in the future. I may have only a handful of readers but I do this mostly because I really do like to write. It is good for me.

Sunday Snippets
This morning did not start out all that well, I am beginning to feel the neighbours have joined together in a conspiracy to keep me from sleeping in on Sunday. Two houses down they turned loose the dog, I call him Sir Barks-a-lot, at 7:30 this fine morning. The result of which he barked, howled and moaned until around 8:30 or so when either they let him back into the house or he went hoarse but the barking ceased. I was happy for a brief second until the person in the house right next to mine started pounding on something, He appears to be renovating and today it was time to hammer, repeatedly, for long enough that I finally gave up and got up. Part of the joy of living in the older part of town is that our houses are so close together you can almost hear what is being said in the other house. It sounded like he was hammering right in my living room. You will be happy to know that by 10:30 all was silent and I have not heard a peep all afternoon. Sunday is the one day I get to sleep in, guilt free and I look forward to it all week. Apparently other people have a different plan for me and my Sundays.
The day did get much better as it went along, I went to brunch at the home of the Hostess. We got a peak at her newly renovated living room. She had a mantle with built in cupboards on either side, constructed around her fireplace. Oh my stars it looks lovely. She has made so many changes to that house, its amazing. Teddy Bear was there and our friend KB. We dined on German apple pancake, fruit salad, yogurt and real ham, washed down with coffee and good conversation. We moved furniture around after breakfast and then we coffeed and talked some more. I am going to google up the pancake recipe, it was so good and I would like to make it sometime when my family is here,
I finally hauled the glass to the recycle depot, I can once again walk out of the back porch without fear of tripping. This morning, I did manage to forget to remove the extension cord from my car, so my brand new cord is somewhere between my house and the Hostess' place. Drat! I knew I was going to do that some day. Oh well, I hope it finds a new home. As I promised myself, I stopped at the fabric store on my way home and got what was needed for the rest of the quilt.
Dishes were done and more laundry was dealt with while I happily sewed on the quilt squares for the remainder of the afternoon. I am happy to say that I have all the pieced squares ready to go.
I bought cream coloured material to go in between the squares. The background of the floral print is a cream and I thought it would work. I am very happy with how quickly this quilt is coming together. I hope it quilts up just as fast.

Saturday Stuff
Feeling rather smug with myself this weekend because there is little enough housework to be done. I did the majority of it last week before Busy and the Carpenter got here. Next week I am going to get back on my housework schedule and try to keep the place this way. I know I have said this before but I figure if I keep repeating it, I will actually do it. |Our visit was short but sweet. They should be in Jamaica today, basking in the sun while we, who are left behind, shiver in the cold. Ah I am just teasing, I am perfectly happy to be where I am and I am perfectly happy for them to be off on the holiday of their choice.
This morning, I awoke to the usual barking of the neighbours dog, (sigh) I felt so sorry for the poor thing this morning because it was dang cold out there and he was out for more than an hour, that I know of. It was at least that long as that is as long as I could hear him. So I gave up trying to sleep and got up. Groceries needed to be purchased.
I actually enjoy shopping for groceries. I am not over joyed at having to pay for them but I do enjoy the act of shopping for them. I like doing laundry too, so call me weird, you will not be the first or the last. Back to my titillating Satuday activities, where was I? Oh yes groceries, said groceries were duly hauled home and put away. Lunch was made and consumed. (have you passed out yet from the excitement of it all??). A quick phone chat with the Hostess, I made a batch of laundry soap and then decided at long last to get the material stash out and get going on one of the many quilts I want to make this year.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy digging through the bins that contain my stash, searching and sorting until I find the right material for the quilt pattern that I have picked out. In no time at all I had my decision made and the material picked, and the bins returned to their hiding places.
I found this pattern on the internet and I liked it. Its so simple and easy to put together but it looks like you have made a really big effort. You start with a regular old nine patch.
Black, grays and burgundy. Like this it looks perfectly fine but with a simple little slice and dice and you get something that looks like this:
I do need to get some plain material to cut the blocks that will go in-between these ones and then I will do the edge of the quilt in the blacks and the grays with a hit of burgundy as well. I will post pictures of course when I am finished. I am not sure what this pattern is called, I hope I can find the blog where I first saw it and get the name.
I am going to have brunch tomorrow at with the Hostess, Teddy Bear and another friend who has moved away but will be back for a visit. I will stop at the fabric store then to get the rest of the material needed to fill in the plain blocks. If I got my butt in gear I could get the most of the pieced blocks done today, they go that fast.
Tonight I am off to a movie at the local university theater, so I have like 3 and a half hours of sewing time. I only need twelve pieced blocks for the quilt top. Two down, ten to go. Its wonderful fun for me to be in my little house, quilt making on a chilly winter day. Hot cup of tea at my elbow to sip on while I stitch away the hours. Its bliss I tell you, pure bliss.

Locked and Loaded for Ireland and Lots of Babbling About Other Stuff.
Well maybe not locked and loaded but the tickets are booked and September cannot come fast enough for me. I am going to IRELAND for two whole weeks. There is much to be done between then and now but the first step has been made. Oh the fun I will have making lists, things that need doing, things that I need to get, things to take, what not to take, on and on and on it goes. The Banker and I sat down last night and sketched out a plan of what we sort of want to do and what we want to see, leaving room for happy accidents, etc. I could not sleep last night I was so wound up, like a kid a Christmas. There are pints of Guinness to be drunk, shops to explore, castles to visit and sea air to be inhaled!!
Tonight has been much tamer. I got the nice CAA people to come and plug a new battery into my car so in the morning I will be able to get my self to work in my own car once again. I had so many offers of rides and help, I really am spoiled rotten at how truly good my friends are to me. However I like to not feel that I am a burden on anyone and getting around by my own steam is one of the things that makes me feel like I am not troubling anyone else. B eing mobile again is a comfort to my sensibilities.
That took a good part of the evening because its cold and the CAA people are super busy dealing with the fall out from said cold. Once I got that done, got my passport information for the Banker, made some scrambled eggs for supper, time was ticking away. I have managed to get my sewing room improved, not perfect but improved. It took a hour, which is not a very long time, and the counters are cleared, the sewing table is cleared and things are put where they belong. I have a foot high stack of magazines to deal with. I need to get better at looking at them. As good at looking at them as I am at collecting them.
Laundry is chugging away and I actually have found the top of the table. Yikes!! Things are looking up. Nothing like having family for a visit to light a fire under one's butt. Does anyone else besides me leave one thing out after all the Christmas decorations have been put away? It's not intentional, I try super hard each year to get it all gathered up, but inevitably, I leave at least one thing out that should not be. Well, tonight I finally noticed this years little escape artist. A snow man jar that has been happily hiding in plain sight on the stove until tonight when it finally registered that it was there and should not be, not at this stage of the game. Off it went to the place where Christmas lives until its time to come out again.
I have tomorrow night to finish off the things that need to be done, then Busy and the Carpenter will be here sometime on Thursday night. I have taken Friday off to hang with them while they are here then they will head off to their plane and Jamaica and I will continue to purge, clean, pootle about and generally do my usual thing.
Its all good!! Especially when I am getting to go to IRELAND!!!

Sunday Snippets
It has been a cold, cold cold day here. I have no idea what the wind chill is, I think -40 C and the temp is currently -27 c. Brrrrrr. This entire weekend I was only out long enough to shovel the front sidewalk, which takes all of 15 minutes, then I scooted back into the house never to venture out again to day.
I was supposed to go talk the glass to the recycle depot today as its getting harder and harder to get in and out the back door. Too many boxes of glass that needs to be hauled away but it did not happen. Ah well, it can go another day when its warmer and I have more energy.
Things were not nearly as productive around here today. I did laundry, dishes, the walk, knit and puttered about on the computer for a bit. I even spent some time this afternoon watching the cat chase her tail. This made me happier than I can say. Its been ages since I have seen her do that. It warms my heart to see the old lady acting a bit of a kitten. It has puffed her out though. She has spent the rest of the day snoozing about. There is something so comforting about seeing a cat curled up snoozing, someplace soft and cozy. I know she is super tired because I can put my hand on her and she hardly wakes.
Tomorrow night I am off to the Banker's for supper and some serious planning for our trip to Ireland. Oh, I cannot believe that I am going to get to go. I have always wanted to go there, I have no idea why, England should have been my first choice but Ireland has always had my heart. Maybe I lived there in a former life?? Who knows but the plan is to go in September. SO EXCITING!!!
Busy and the Carpenter will be here for a bit on the weekend. They are stopping over on their way to Jamaica. It will be nice to see them. I am looking foreward to having company. I would love to keep him for a day or two and find some jobs for him to do but I will content my self with asking some advise instead of "working them like rented mules"
Well I have run out of things to babble on about. Its time to get off here, Downton Abbey will be on soon and I do not want to miss it.

One Foot to the East Continued
Fortified by a hearty bowl of homemade chicken soup and a short nap on the couch I was ready to continue on my with my Saturday "to do" list and I tackled the Tupperware cupboard. This is literally one of those cartoon cupboards that the minute you open the doors, an avalanche of plastic comes barreling at your head and one is forced to fear for your life.
I am not going to share what fell on the floor when I took the doors off but trust me there is a pile of plastic littering the laundry room floor. This is what managed to remain inside the cupboard. Sleeves pushed up, I dove fearlessly into the abyss, I pulled things out, sorted, purged, debated and returned things, pulled them out again, until at last I could do no more and now it looks like this.
Not a dramatic change but at least it will not decapitate you, should you have the nerve to venture into its confines. I am happy to say that now the most frequently used things are at the front and easily accessible. Lost lids have been found and returned to the lid baskets. I do still need to pull the deep freeze out and retrieve all the bits and pieces that have fallen behind there. (Another day perhaps). I have come out of the whole escapade with more donations to the charity shop boxes and a half a garbage bag full of recycle.
Personally I think the best look for the cupboard is this one.

One Foot to the East
When I went about redecorating the living room I indulged myself and bought at area rug. It wasn't on sale, I just cracked out the credit card and bought it because I loved it completely. It was laid down and I loved it but something bugged me. Its placement. It was about a foot too far west that what it should be. I decided I could live with it because moving it was a lot of work. Well I stood it as long as I could. Things like this bother me more than I care to admit to .
Today was the day it was getting moved. Here is where we started: We, being the rug and I. The cat took to the upper floors for safe keeping.
I want it so the chairs actually sit on the rug . Means moving the couch, ottoman, assorted chairs and the loom which sits on the opposite side of the room and which I failed to take a picture. Anywho, fortified with several cups of coffee and a promise to myself I would not over do it and rehurt my knee I began.
Soon this looked like this:
Much grunting and groaning later the rug was vacuumed, shifted and finally resting in it proper place. Much more appealing to my eye.
usually for me about half or 3/4 of the way through a project, I get tired, really tired and start thinking things like " who's dumbass ideas was this?", "why did I start this in the first place" and " The place really does not look this bad like this" and "things could stay like this, it doesn't look that bad". I mean really, the couch looks good here, nice and close to the TV. Don't you think? No???? Crap.
Lots of room to walk behind it. How bad would it be to leave it all like this and go sew something or knit something or have a nap?? Oh Shut up!! Stop telling me what I already know. Thankfully I know myself and when I get like this I go have a cup of tea and a break and gather myself together.
One cup of Earl Grey later and the place is starting to look back to normal once again. Now the chairs actually sit on the rug. I love that. It makes me happy.
I even fished the box of flooring out from under the couch so I can eventually redo the floor in the downstairs bathroom. That is is you can see on the bottom right hand side of the picture. The bathroom floor is a story for another day. I won't be able to do it until my knee is much better but one of these days I will get it done.
I moved the floor loom out into the entry and moved the little china cabinet into the living room. it makes more sense this way. Its not how I would like it but its the most practical place for the loom. In my little house I don't have a lot of spare space to store huge things like floor loom but I am not going to get rid of it either.
I have the material to recover the balloon back chairs, the pink velvet does not go all that well with the red couch. I just have not gotten around to it yet. Maybe I could do one of them tomorrow. Time will tell.
So that was the most of my morning. The whole process was slower than it need to be because of my stupid sore knee but its done now. I am happy, I now intend to eat some soup, then defeat the Tupperware cupboard. I am determined it will no longer throw things at me when I open the doors not to mention that I need to make space in it for the things I use the most often, rather than storing them on top of the fridge and on the kitchen counter because I cannot jam them into the place they should be. Oh it is a never ending process in this little house. The constant pursuit of organized, tidy space.
