Today was a most excellent mail day. Our mail carrier will back in whenever he has a package for one of us. You know that it’s going to be good when he actually gets out of the truck. Getting out of the truck means either multiple packages or a really big one. Today it was …
There are days that I feel like I’m on a treadmill and then there are days that feel as though I am on an elliptical machine. In my universe, an elliptical machine is the devil. Probably invented sometime during the Spanish inquisition by the same man who invented panty hose, SPSS, and stiletto heels. I cannot …
Yesterday I went down to Lake LaVerne and I remembered the camera. First the fish started feeding (can’t really photograph them all that well). Then the geese came. These guys were literally eating out of my hands. In fact, one kinda tried to hop onto my lap! Then came the swans (they feel that …
I adore getting mail. Not flyers or bills or anything like that. Real mail. Letters, packages, postcards really anything that comes from a real person. So, today was lovely going to the mailbox to find this. A package from my friend Tini in Germany with provisions for my sock yarn blanket! Yay for mail!!!!
Today was another very good mail day. Whenever there is a package too big to fit into the mailbox or one needing a signature, the mailman backs his truck into the drive and honks. Usually twice. In a house with 4 dogs in it, this is tantamount to declaring war. You do not truly understand …
Since I am pretty sure that she doesn’t read this (at least not in anything close to real-time) due to having an extremely active toddler in the house, I feel that I can post pictures of these without any major repercussions. It might even be a good thing given how the UK and US postal …
There is really nothing much better than getting real mail and the past 2 days have been most excellent for that here at The Old Chapel. Monday I received my graduation pictures from Florida. Still haven’t gotten my diploma yet, but that’s ok. Anyway, I had ordered a package with four 5X7’s in it to …
I finally got some stuff in the mail that I had been waiting for. One of the things came in these boxes: For those of you with sharp eyes, you might notice that the tape on the boxes matches that of a box I recieved prior to settting off for the States. Here’s another picture …
Today I got this package delivered to me. It is from the British Wool Marketing Board. I placed an order with them for both some posters and some wool for spinning. Today, I got my posters, as well as a few other goodies. I ordered the posters to help decorate my attic yarn …
So, I am finally able to show you a picture of one of the super secret projects that I have been working on for a while. This is on a Cal. King sized bed. It is about 100″X100″. It made me really hot working on it towards the end (imagine, having that ENTIRE THING …
