I stopped into Fabricville yesterday while Gary was at appt. in same mall. I went in for button-hole thread, and I came out with only button-hole thread. Very proud of myself :) There is 50% off Linen that I would love to get, but I have to much fabric to sew up already. I'm sure it will be on sale again later.
I was planning on going to the Shoe tonight; with said button-hole thread; but I forgot that I am working from 5-10pm, so unfortunately I wont be able to make it. Perhaps I'll try for Thursday night practice.

I had a great time today at the event in Truro. It was nice to catch up with people I haven't seen for a while and to meet new ones. I forgot my camera, so I'm hoping someone will post pictures.

The new picture is of me and my Grandson Sebestien, taken last month when he was 3 months old. I got to take him out for the first time last week. It was only for an hour while his parents where getting groceries, but it was so nice to be with him.

??Which colour of Death is yours??

BLUE
Take this quiz!

still lots of boxes left.....

2008-03-27T17:13:43Z

A quick post before the babies wake up.
I am up to my armpits in boxes that I have been bringing up from my basement. Trying to purge as much as possible before the house goes on the market again. I am starting with my patterns and sewing things, not sure if that is a good place to start or not. After the "What Not To Wear" talk at Kelly's the other night I have revisited the save box of patterns and culled to less then half again. I thank you very much Kelly, and I'm sure Gary appreciates it as well; less going to his place. :) Now if I could only be as brutal with my fabric stash I would be all set.

EKU is in 3 days?.....eeek

2008-03-19T15:27:16Z

Why do these things always creep up on me? I'm am such a procrastinator.

I didn't get my side-less surcote made that I wanted to and I only have one sleeve hem finished on my blue cote; I still have to put the two sleeves back in and trim and sew up the hem; luckily I had my friend pin around the bottom while I was standing on a stool. I did manage to get my pink under-dress taken in....wow.... your right Kelly; I do have a shape! I didn't get the hand eyelets done but the stitching wont show under my blue dress. ...............I wonder if I will ever get things done before they are suppose to be?

This also brings me to wonder who I had arranged a drive with to get there; if I actually did or not. I know Joy offered me a drive home after the event but I can't remember how I was getting there; so if any of you fine people out there in the LJ world are able to jog my memory I would greatly appreciate it.

I hear a baby waking up so I must run........ttfn

Thanks for birthday wishes.

2008-02-29T17:29:00Z

Today was the first time I was here since Mon., so I did not get the birthday wishes till now. Thankyou for your thoughts.

The three girls are still sleeping, so I had a few minutes. They all have runny noses but are in good spirits. I'm lucky to have such sweety's to care for. I will miss them terribly when I have to give them all up the end of April. But I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life with new beginings. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the job at the museum; but if not, I know I will find what I need. The new man in my life makes me very optimistic about my future.

It's been a while.

2008-01-29T02:35:37Z

My home page tells me it's been 22 weeks since I was last here. Didn't think it was that long ago, but I guess it was. I'm going to try to get here a few times a week again. I miss keeping up with friends. My life has been a little hectic and need to feel grounded. This helps.

Yeah.....MY computer back

2007-08-25T19:40:20Z

I have not had the use of my own computer for about a month now. Ever since I updated to ultra high speed internet I have had problems. I have called tech support about four times. With the first time being made to feel like an idiot I didn't call back for a couple of weeks. I have been using my 17yr old son Josh's computer. He has not been too thrilled to find me on it when he comes home at night and a few times I have bribbed him for a couple of hours of time. Last night at 1:30 am he came in while I was talking to a friend on line. He told me I had 5 minutes left after being on for 5 hours. I told my friend and he sent one of those rolling on the floor laughing faces. Yes, I did feel like the teenager here.
Today I finaly got it worked out. The router going from Josh's computer to mine was not accepting the new password from the update. I was talking to teck support from the router company in the Philippines for over an hour getting every thing reconfigured. Oh Happy Day.......
Now I just have to get MY computer out of my son Nick's room and in to mine. When we switched rooms I got guilted into leaving it for him. He is getting a lap top soon. Then this will be all mine, ALL MINE!..........evil little laugh inserted here.

One of those days

2007-08-22T22:53:34Z

   Yesterday was just "one of those days". My day kids were not themselves and therefore had a few timeouts and that seldom happens. Afternoon nap time usually last about 2hrs for the three babies; yesterday; 30mins or none for all of them. Cranky, tired, crazy afternoon. Oh yeah; the kids weren't great either. lol
   But the day definitely got better. Went to shoe night with about 14 others. It is great to have so many creative minds in one place.
   Today was a lot better. Just my nice normal mostly well behaved kids.

It's Wednesday morning. Three babies are napping and two four year olds are playing quietly. I have a new little boy to mind. Landon; he's 16m old and a very pleasant baby.  He fit right in here with the other four and didn't fuss at all when his Mother left. I am very lucky to have such nice kids to mind.
Last night I had a great time at Kelly's. She made a wonderful fresh pesto pasta salad and Tina's Nacho cheese and salsa dip was totally evil. Then there was the homemade wine; I'll have to remember that it gives an extra kick. Two glasses felt like four. The company of course was asome and I met some new wonderful people; Baron Conrad and his wife Tam and Sir Emmerise (sp?).
I hear one baby starting to stir.

Got back from Z's around 2:30 this afternoon. Had a really fun time. It's a very relaxing place to hang out. The weather was nice, even with the intermitin rain. Loved the thunder and lightning. Fell in love with Ed's new bike, I'v always wanted a motor bike; maybe some day.... heavy sigh......
After I got home I had a little sleep then did a little reading. I'm still really tired but if I go to bed too early I'll be up with the birds. Maybe tomorrow I'll finely get the weeding done I've been meaning to do in the front yard.

Well I only have one child this week, the other three are on vacation. Kind of a nice break. I have been getting lots of cherries from my tree and still have lots left; only now I need my ladder to get them. I've made jam and froze the rest.
Started to get back to sewing after doing nothing for a few weeks. Went through my patterns to get some ideas. Today I made a fitted envelope cover for one of my playpen pads. Thought I'd start off with something simple and practical before jumping into a major project. I want to do a full Persian outfit this fall.
I went to my basement yesterday to try to find my fan that is backed in a box somewhere. I didn't find my fan but I did find a box of summer clothes that I forgot I had. I was sure my house would be sold and I'd be settled somewhere new by the summer so all of this would have been unpacked and hanging in a new closet. I think the universe is telling my to stay here for a while longer.

2007-07-07T03:40:16Z

Well it's been rather an odd week. With Monday being a holiday and the four kids I mind taking turns being sick the rest of the week, I'm a little out of sorts. I always go through a mild depression after a major project is finished so I'm going to have to find a new project that will stress me out until it's done. I thought maybe I'd do something totally different and sew myself some mundane clothes. After my friend helpped me clear out my closet of things she said I should never wear again I find I don't really have much left. I might reconcider after a good nights sleep, but for now that sounds good.
I think I might go to the market in the morning, I haven't been there for a while and I love how it makes me feel when I'm there, everything is so fresh and down to earth.
My eyelids are very droopy and I think I'll get bundled up, open my window and go to bed.

You Are a Black and White Cookie

You're often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.
When you're good, you're sweet as sugar. And when you're bad, you're wicked!

I haven't posted in over a month because I have been so busy with my days and very tired at night. But I do believe that this weekend at war camp deserves a comment or two.
I have seen how hard Kelly and Pierre have worked over the past couple of months as well as every one else in the household to get ready for war camp. Between all the sewing, sewing instructions, pattern making, fabric sniffing (new silk; nothing like it!), shoe making, flag and pole making, and shopping, we all had a lot of fun laughing and being together and I feel it brought us all closer as a household. Nobody deserves the treatment that was received by our dear friends. Kelly and Pierre go out of their way to make sure that the people around them feel comfortable and at home at all times. My short time in the sca has seen many good times and I have met the most wonderful people. I have learned more then I ever expected to about a common love of history and clothing and all given with enthusiasm and encouragement to want to make me learn more.
When our friends hurt, we hurt. We will get through this together with dignity and pride and offer whatever support is needed.

Which mythical creature resides in your soul? (11 Results + Pictures)

SIREN

You are a siren. A siren is an enchanting seductress that usually inhabits a remote isle in the sea. The siren's voice is beautiful and alluring. The siren's voice is irresitible to all those who hear it. Upon hearing her fatal melody the listener will either plunge to their deaths in the icy ocean waters or they will perhaps finally reach the siren. Once the siren has hold of them they have no chance. The siren represents sensuality and passion.

It's been a very productive few weeks, working around the house getting it ready to show for sale again. The garage got torn down, a new fence got built, two old fences got painted, the oil tank got painted, 4 trees got planted, the back moat got filled in, a nice curvy row of new plants in front of the house got planted, more hardwood floors got redone and to top it all off 3 of my cats had kittens; 11 in total. The house is now free, but you have to buy a kitten for $239,900 to get it. There are 2 showings for Saturday, so I will be a nut case trying to get it tidied and cleaned. Angus said that the varnish that got trapsed all through the kitchen will come off with mineral spirits, I tried it tonight and it did not work. I'm going to be really pissed if I have to lay a new kitchen floor. I will try to clean it again tommorow with a little more elbow grease. (Angus's elbows,not mine)
On Monday I start watching two new little girls, 1 and 4yrs old. I had them on Tuesday this week and it week and it went very well. I'm looking forward to the summer day trips with them all.

You are Barefoot!

You're a total free spirit, go with the flow girl
You can't be restricted by shoes for very long
And unsuprisingly, the same goes for men
Your match is out there - and he's as carefree as you are

What an odd color. I think it is just reflective of my melancholy mood right now.

you are ghostwhite
#F8F8FF

Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy.

Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

Well it's been over a week since I was on my computer. The new little girl I mind gets here at 6:15am and it makes for a long day.

I took my house of the market on the 19th and haven't stopped since. The garage got torn down last Sat. and there wasn't as much stuff as I thought in there. It just looked really full because it wasn't neat. Most of it was old wood and doors that went to the dump. Angus has worked nonstop all week and I don't know what I would have done without him. There needs a bit more fill for the back and for some flower beds in front but we are hoping to have that by the end of the week. Angus presser washed the house siding and we couldn't believe the difference, I knew it was dirty, but I didn't think it was that bad. I got my clothesline put back up yesterday, after a year without it. Wow, fresh smelling clothes are great.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
