I've decided to put aside some of the boxes for a while,
and get things cleaned up and organized a bit around here.
I am begining a project journal,
purchased a nice bound journal (black bound)
with grid pages, rather than lined (or blank)
and it has a ribbon for keeping your place.
I want to list every project I have going on,
and approximately when I started them
and be able to put a completion date in as well.
For instance, the quilt I'm making for a wedding gift,
a quilt I'm making for a Christmas present,
the cross stitch- projects I have going,
the knitting project's I have going.
(I probably have about a hundred started things)
the problem is where to begin with the list...
I don't know how I could possibly start with the oldes one,
because I may find an even older one somewhere...
meanwhile...
I'm taking off for my home in Canada for a week...
don't know that I'll be able to do anything till I get back.
My home is in Nelson, British Columbia...
one of the prettiest spots in the world.
By lake Kootenay, in the Selkirk mountains.
We weren't rich enough to afford lake front property,
but we can see it through the neighbors across the street from us.
We are below the Kokanee Glacier about 9miles outside of the town of Nelson.
Have made some really good friends there,
so I'm heading up there to see them
as well as winterize the house.
There are year round neighbors
who keep an eye out on things-
we hope to retire there and be year round residents one day.
We found the spot,
because my husband was born there in Nelson,
and still has a few relatives left there.
So maybe we are odd people,
but we dream of mountains and lakes
rather than sand and sun
as our ideal place for retirement...
I find it easier to bundle up than to find some way to cool down.
