STILL CAMPING

I made some more progress on the Camp Site. 

This will go back to storage now until next year. It has been fun.

GOING CAMPING

Summer is quickly coming to an end. YAY! It has been a brutal one for me with EXTREME humidity. It meant almost 6 weeks in the chair, catching up on BAD TV and GOOD reading. Still a happy time, since I just celebrated one whole year of no hospital stays. I'm still very weak and tired, and get so frustrated, feeling as if I'll NEVER be better, but when I get off my pity pot, I can see that progress continues even if it is at a snail's pace.
I NEEDED to get away from curtains for a while, so I got all of my tents out of storage and found one that I was able to fit on a small display shelf that I have by my front door. The rest of the tents are too big, and will be "gifted" next year at our annual yard sale.
I've repaired my "petrified forest" tree and started the landscaping. I also started the skiff boat kit, but since I don't have an engineers degree, that kit will be MANY years in the making. My campers will have to "wade" for fish in the meantime.

Real/mini life progresses slowly too. I'm still sorting and weeding and trying to "fit" what I really want/need to keep. I'm pleased though. Going from 25 years of having unlimited space, to a tiny house has been challenging. But its working out surprisingly well.

CURTAINS (will I ever finish)

HAPPY HOLIDAY

WARM BABY

The dolls were a gift. Baby's pj's were threadbare, so I knitted him a blanket to keep him warm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

BOYS AND THEIR TOYS

This started out as an HOM kit for a dower chest. When I opened it up a "decade or two" after purchasing it on EBAY, I found that a number of parts were missing. I replaced what I could and thought it could work as a toy box for my boys room. Maybe they can learn to put away their sports equipment. (doubt it)

CURTAINS

I'm making VERY SLOW progress dressing the THORNHILL windows. NOT my favorite thing to do as I am SEWING CHALLENGED ;-)

SPRING FLING

I know its been too long since I've posted. First the blizzard, then health issues and then

Valentine's Day

Saint Paddy's Day, Easter, Daughters Birthday, 

Then of course I had to make cupcakes to fill my liners from True2Scale, assemble a couple of 1/144 kits for my Thornhill Dollhouse Dollhouse, AND whip up a wheel barrel kit.

I make some of the greeting cards too, so time gets away from me.

Between now and July 4th, I have my recovery anniversary, Mom's Day, my birthday, the girls wedding anniversary, my daughter in law's birthday, Dad's Day. Then I think I get to breathe (minis) until October. 

While I envy you all your BEAUTIFUL families, I don't know HOW you do it all. There are only 4 of us, and I get overwhelmed from Halloween until July 4th. 

I'll be back later with CURTAINS.

HAPPY SPRING!
