Back on our feet....

Whew! It was a long week last week. All of  us, including many of the littles that come here for care, came down with the flu. Long days of caring for sick and achy people, washing load after load of blankets, trips to the store for juice, oranges, ginger ale and ibuprofen and keeping a fire going for freezing bodies kept us from getting much else accomplished. Ah well, we're on the mend and slowly getting back to normal. Papa Bear is home this week on holiday and is working on my new laundry room. Pictures as we go.




I attended the Tamworth Christmas Craft Sale yesterday. It was a rainy day but that didn't stop many from coming out and the Santa parade was viewed by many as well. Sold a few skeins of yarn and a pair of socks. Just grabbed my market bins that live in the mudroom and hoped I had everything. The week we had meant I didn't really prepare but it still worked out. Forgot only a Christmas tablecloth and some bags. No big deal.
I bought a beautiful hand-dyed skein of yarn from Tracy at Old Apple Ridge Angoras and a vintage style watch bracelet from Jill at  www.facebook.com/goodwinsgreetings


The day went by quickly and I enjoyed meeting all that stopped to chat. Hope I also inspired a few to start knitting. I was working on a sock and have nearly finished it.
Enjoy your day and happy knitting!

  1. Darn it! I forgot as quickly as I remembered about the craft fair. I really wanted to get there to see you and Tracy before the holidays.

    Hope you are well, and if I don't run into you at Foodland, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. If you are talking to Tracy, please wish her well too.

  2. Will do. You could come and visit at the Frontenac Farmers' Market Christmas Sale. Bring your knitting and spend some time in the booth with me. :) Dec 15.
