Its Been a Minute

 Well it has been some time since I sat down to do a blog post. This last month has been a bit of a gong show with all sorts happening, good and better and some not so good but that is life. I would say its been a pivotal time in my life. Time to face cold hard truths and face facts and be a grown up. Can't say I'm a fan but needs must and even though I'm not happy about it all but I will do what I must and get on with things.Its the grown up thing to do. 

So I will hit the highlights. I'm not sure I can remember all that things that have happened this last month but I will do my best. Plus I'm not sharing it all, this in the internet after all.  Busy and the Carpenter were here and they turned my shower from this

Into this: Isn't it just the most beautiful thing??? I could not be happier with it. Its awesome and just exactly what I had dreamed of since moving into the house.

Its so nice to have a shower and have room to actually move around. I am in love and not ashamed to admit it.

Busy helped me to do some purging, organizing and cleaning while they were here. My house did not know what hit it but man oh man was it nice to have it done. The Carpenter helped too, in-between his jobs. I was more decorative, a sort of decision maker, observer if you will.

Formulating a battle plan.

I will never ever be able to thank them for all that they have done for me. Its overwhelming.

Lots of changes happening. Lots of new things to learn and deal with. I am taking it one day at a time and doing my best to get myself back on track and headed in the right direction. All I will say on this subject is thank God for my family and friends, they are the very best and I could not manage without them.

I did not sit on my arse the entire time. I did stuff, for example I purged and cleaned my two little china cabinets

I am also working on the craft room. My one upstairs spare room is waiting in the wings for its turn. It has become a catchall for things and needs a good straightening. So much to do but the place is really looking great.

I have mitts to knit for Busy and I have started to make hats and scarves for the safe and warm shelter. I am also very pleased to say I sent 7 quilts to the women's shelter. I have a top made for another donation quilt already, just need to get it quilted.

I am thinking my goal is to get some of my crafting supplies used up before I go gathering anything else. I have way too much stuff packed into my little craft room and it needs to be used. 

Another thing to look forward to is we have a scrapbooking weekend coming up and that is always a super fun time. 

I am hoping to get back into a routine of blogging each week again. I am seriously hoping that all the upheaval of the last two months will settle down and I can get back into a more normal routine. We can always hope.
