Upstairs sitting/sewing/jewelry making/craft area.
Comfy Bed

Having a mattress after 2 weeks of sleeping on a foam pad is wonderful.

I have my treasures and my special Gnome nearby. You can't see it but there is a stained glass window next to the bed that gives me some privacy. This is the stained glass window Bob had made for me. The lamp was a $2.00 find at the thrift store! The quilt I made anout 28 years ago!






Moving In

Yikes- Unpacking Hell

Before my stuff arrived...


One HUGE moving van!!!!

Well I am in unpacking hell. Upstairs is mostly done, office needs work and the kitchen is 90% done.. The livingroom is full of boxes. I borrowed a truck and will recycle the boxes and newspaper tomorrow. Exhausted! I have been weed whacking the overgrown grass when i need unpacking breaks. the kiln wiring and raku kiln shed are happening this week! I should be up and running next week and have 6 orders to galleries to get out!

Had dinner with Rex and Carrie Ricetonight.They serve halibut their son caught in Alaska. Excellent.

Now I will take a bath by candlelight. A good book to read in my comfortable bed...yes!
