Snowed In

We have 6 inches, everthing is at a stand still



Ken was able to park his car at the top of the hill after digging it out and spinning tire a couple of times. He even escaped and with around the block. He has a nasty cold, he should be inside!!!! He says I hover!! So I told him to text me if he needs me and I"ll watch the weather channel and sew!!

Happy New Year

I haven't blogged since Sept!!!??


Well since then, new baby, quilting, new furniture, lots of lbs, a fix for my digestive issues (well, sort of, better than anything else) chemo lotion on Ken's shoulder, Bar Harbor, Maine, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Birthday (next year, big and I mean big 50!) Christmas, Julie's Birthday and today, Mom's tomorrow Dad's. What to do !!! Make hexagons!!!

We have a grandchild, Isabella (Bella) Sept 23, 6.2, 19 inches long. Not totally our way of planning, father is no where to be found most of the time, so he's out of the picture, but she is cute and innocent of her parents issues.


We completed our living room with one more end table and coffee table. All is done, now on to den (no options there due to wall configurations, just freshening up! Maybe another color beside Tuscan Red and gold - maybe

Digestive issues better thanks to Levsin (sp ?) Three times a day, getting better, but to take gas x, plus immodium and a probiotic, just to make my body not so bloated and bathroom visits to a livable number.

Ken has a bad spot of shoulder that did not test well and was given chemo lotion to cure it. Brings it to the surface and air kills germs as per Dr. Looks like a bad case of posion oak. He's now on two weeks off and then another check up.

Bar Harbor a surprise visit to the "mountains" We hiked, we ate lobster, real lobster, we whale watched, we hiked and we ate lobster!! Turns out I like Lobster, never was a huge fan until, real Maine Lobsters! Yum, But they serve them head and all, those little eyes looking up, yikes!!

Halloween, fun, decorated here to the hilt, Thanksgiving, well, stomach issues big time. So missed my intake of Mom's chestnut dressing which I was looking forward to big time. Christmas, fun, lots of Bella time. She spent many nights with us, babies eat a lot and poop, my lord she needs some Levsin too!! I am now the proud owner of diaper skills, #1 and #2. At 49, I'm starting my diaper duties!!


Bella in her swing, loves that thing. She's 3 months old now!! I see her again on Friday. Next week, she might come up for a night.

Hexagons, Gone Crazy, they are so easy to make (thanks to Suzie mailing me 150 of the plastic forms!!) Made halloween, Christmas, 4th of July and now plaids and stripes Star!! Halloween had approx 75 in it, 4th of July about 100, Christmas 100, Plaid star I would say it will take approx 300!! Now that I'm exercising to get this spare tire off and no naps have time to do this!!


This week a Paris cityscape is in the works:

My measurement tool, rather large black cat in the middle of the cardboard cuttting station!!
Bye for now, up to 120 situps a day and arm stretches yoga style 120!! Spare tire watch out!! Plus eating tiny portions, maybe I won't have so many tiny bubble in my stomach too!!
