Let's get this started... again.

It's been over a year since the last time I blogged and I said last time that I hope to be able to keep it up! I'm not promising anything right now but I do hope to be more active on the blogosphere.

I've been fairly busy, let me catch you up on what we've been up to!

We bought a log cabin out in Pine Hollow, Oregon and we have been going up nearly every weekend since then. We didn't have to do much to it but we did add a wood burning pizza oven and a covered picnic area, added a hot tub and put in an air conditioning unit. This week it was in the high 90's and I thought I was going to die, ha ha ha! I guess you could say that I'm not a fan of the heat!

I have really expanded my Etsy shop the last 8 months or so. Unfortunately for me and a lot of other sellers Etsy seller fees are going up and a lot of us have been looking for an alternative. I have decided to move my shop to Fiber Crafty, it's similar to Etsy in that it's geared to handmade items and supplies for crafting. Etsy has really stepped away from the handmade niche of shops and seem to be allowing all sorts of things. I'm hoping I am making the right move. I hope to get everything moved over there with in the next week or so. For now you can find me on Etsy .

I have a few quilt kids that I've gotten through The Fat Quarter Shop and I really need to get those going. I ordered the Pride and Joy Block of the Month kit by Kim Diehl and I just love the quilts I've seen others do on Instagram, I've heard that it is a lot of cutting and that makes me nervous. I need to stock up on spray starch and get to prepping!

Well, that is all I'm going to write about now. Let's see if I can post once or twice a week for a while

My week

Weigh ins lately have been good. I was stalling for what seemed like the longest time and last week I weighed in 3 pounds lighter!   I just bought "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung and Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein and I have been devouring them! So much good information and recourses! I will do a better and more detailed review when I finish them, so look for that! On a crafting note, I have finally snatched a Hippo for Easter hank of sock yarn from Lolo Did It 's shop. I've tried every Saturday for four weeks now! I love the idea of having a colorway for each of the major holidays! I also ordered a mini of her  Violet Beauregarde to do knit the cuffs, heels and toes in. I think her yarn and color ways are just amazing! Some day I'll get brave and sell my hand dyed yarns too! Speaking of, I also just got my order of long hanks, I am going to attempt some self striping yarn. I saw someone knitting some socks that we...

Been a while...

I hate when I go to a blog, usually though Pinterest, and when I look to see what they are currently doing their last post from 3 years ago is titled "It's been a while" or something along those lines... I really do think about blogging often but I get easily distracted when I'm online. First I have to get on Pandora ( favorite station at the moment ) and find some music to listen to. Then I check the rabbit hole, also known as Facebook. I need to stop checking that on my computer, it's too easy to get lead down to watching cute animal videos or recipe tutorials etc. E-mail usually isn't a problem. I look for specific senders and then move on. I have been pretty busy though, I bought a new sewing machine. A Juki TL2200QVP mini. I love it and have been doing a lot of piecing. I finished a table runner I started years ago that is red, blue and white and I'm glad it was finished before Summer got here. I also finished piecing a quilt top and have it all bast...
