Oh Where Oh Where Could She Be?

I don't seem to be starting out very well with getting postings up on a regular basis. I really haven't been doing much to post about either. I have gotten a few things cut out and ready to stitch up. I have gone to work. I have slept. Mostly I have been fighting the invasion of the little tiny monsters........sugar ants! So far their strategy has been better then mine, hide till I think they are gone and I put everything away, then come back when I am either out of the house or asleep! I am trying to convince my DH that we need to call in the big guns, and actually pay someone to take care of this problem. At the moment however he is still unwilling to admit defeat! Of course he is not the one who gets to do all the moving of things and cleaning up after every invasion, as I am sure you all already know. We have been free of the little monsters for 3 days now, but I think this time I will wait a week before I put things back in the cupboards. At least if they show up again I won't have to move it all out and wash it again!

As I am not very computer literate I have yet to learn how to get the pics off of the camera and onto the computer so that I can show you some project pics and some finishes. I will get to this. I can't even give you a link to follow to look at a pattern of what i am doing since I usually just do my own thing. I find following patterns very difficult, and prefer not to live with the added stress of attempting to follow one! I suppose I should learn to do this at some point.

There is one interesting little thing that has happened I have acquired a feather weight machine! It has not yet arrived as I bought it online at an auction. I am on pins and needles awaiting the impending arrival!

I Miss This Am I Crazy?

This is a pic of my son and DIL's mail box back in CT. You can just see the top of it! Of course they have had more snow since this was taken.Today I believe DIL told me they were having an ice storm, with more snow predicted for the coming weekend!
I have lived in Oregon going on 6yrs now. The part of Oregon I live in has had one fairly reasonable size snow storm in those 6yrs! I know I can drive to the snow, but I miss being stuck in the house and puttering while the snow falls outside, it always seems so quiet and relaxing.
Snow storms are one of the things I miss about living in New England!
Don't get me wrong I am sure Oregon has its good points, I have seen some beautiful countryside here, once you get out of town, but give me a break you have helmet laws here! I could see a lot more if I didn't have to wear the darn helmet!
Oregon is not really bad I am just homesick today. Normally this is the week that I would be flying back east to visit my family and play with the grand kids. Not happening this year, since I was there in August for a # of weeks. Yes I am pouting!

What Is It With Boys??

This is a pic of my oldest grandson, and yes that is ice all around him!  What normal person would cut a hole in the ice and jump in the water? And he wants a drivers licence! I am thinking that neither of these things are good ideas!
I actually have today off from work!  After I get everything returned to the cabinets from the invasion of the mini ants, and get a little sleep, I am thinking I may actually get some time to sew!  There are 9 more potholders waiting to be put together and quilted and binding added, then on to cutting out my table runner,it was supposed to have been finished in January! If life could be like Monopoly I would make sure to buy more hours for my days every time I went past GO!
