I'm no quitter!

I haven't posted in almost 3 months!

Mainly because I felt a lot of things I was doing around here, I had already posted about many times before. You know gardening, chickens, thrifty stuff.

Not that we didn't have a great, interesting summer. Cabin trip, we went to the Maker Faire (saw the coke zero and mentos guys (( my girl shot the video)), WE SAW GREEN DAY IN CONCERT! They were incredible. And last but not least... we have a third driver in the family. Yep, my giant little boy is 16 AND DRIVING!


This not blogging thing has been bugging me so I plan on doing something about it.


Since I am no longer doing the craft/art shows (unless through my art group), I need to stay motivated to create some bags, quilts and new things swirling in my head.





(this used to be my sewing area)

During the summer I rearranged my basement. Mainly to contain my work space explosion and also to unearth the pinball machine, Foosball and boccer ball tables from under piles of fabric.

We can actually use these things now. I am the foosball champ of the family btw.

I moved my space behind our wonderful 70's sectional couch to help contain my mess, but it also gave me a great window to look out. (See out the window, it's the little blue coop)



I have shelf space behind me that I have to share with a doll house, and behind that is a dusty treadmill. I haven't organized the space yet but I have worked there and think it will be great.


So my plan from here on out is to show what I have been working on and to get my "studio" in order. I hope to show pics of my progress. I will also be adding a gratuitous chicken photo every now and then.
So of you are an old blogging friend, thanks for hanging around so patiently. If you are new, HI! and welcome.

Hi Joanna,
I was just at your blog this morning and love your turkey Jefferson. He is so handsome.

Lovely to have you back and I never tire of what you have to say even if it stuff you have blogged about before! x

Summer is the perfect time to take a blogging break. Especially if you have kiddos at home. Who has time?
Your new room looks great! I can't play fooseball to save my life. Pinball, I'd give you a run for your money.

Good to find a new post! The room looks perfecto. Now we need chicken pictures. :)

You going for another three-month record there? ;)))

I sounded like a gal with good intentions.
I have been working on quite a few new things but am having a difficulty finding time after work and sharing the computer with two teenagers.
Maybe with the new year.

Just keep making great stuff that I can buy in your Etsy shop! :)

Opps that last one was me under my boys account.
Hi danni!
The chickens are great. I got some new pullets for my birthday (black copper marans) they lay the dark dark eggs. The gals at my art group love them and I sell out every week.
T-Bone is doing well. He is loving the snow (I am over it though)
How am I? That is a whole different story. I hope to find out soon.
