Do you remember this guy?

I made him last winter.

This is one of the things I am working

on. Sewing, making jewelry,

squirrels, garland, dolls, trees.I am

so busy but, the holidays are here, and

those of us who, craft...need to

be in hypercraft mode right now.

By the time December gets here,

I am ready for the break.

to much baggage

I carry a lot of baggage.

No matter how old we

get...wisdom comes through

trial and error. Mostly error.

And no matter how hard we try...

we cannot escape our family.

I find I am getting a little more

eccentric...like my great aunts...

I fight it...but as much as I try to

get rid of my baggage...my stuff...

it seems to multiply.

My studio was so messy friday...you

couldn't see a counter or the floor.

It took me 8 hours to clean.

I almost cried at one point...looking

at all the stuff...I can't get rid of.

WHY?

That is the billion dollar question.

weather blues

It has been raining so hard....

and it is so dark and windy.

I thought this picture shows

my life right now.

...Wet...

...claustrophobic...

and needing to find some light at the

end of the tunnel.

A little sunshine would go

along way right now.

It is that in-between.

Fall is gearing

up for winter. Bring on the

snow, at least that sheds some light.

I was reading one of my favorite blogs

I drew this picture of my sister and her

grand-babies.

Grady and Marley.

Bea.

making holidays fun

This is what I have been working on

snowmen.

This is for Hutch.

I am organizing my personal christmas stuff.

Most of this is going to Finders Keepers in

Marysville. A few vintage things to Hutch.

I have stuff here I made 25 years ago. But,

it's not anything I want to keep....I just never

wanted to deal with it. Remember...crossstitch?

Country angels? ooooh,not good.

i love umbrellas

This is a great Japanese paper umbrella from

the 40's. It is in HUTCH.

Looking for more.

Something like this.

I love them...old, beat up

torn...

HUTCH

is open.

Whew.

We had an amazing turnout friday night.

It is such a relief to have made it

this far. We are very happy people

found us and support our endeavor.

But...

We will take HUTCH to those who

cannot come to Laconner WA.

Next step is to get our little store on line.

We will bring our wonderful handmade

goodies to you. To shop from your home.

So...

lookout...

we are on our way...
