Just ordered my second child sized mannequin.  This one should be the right size for two of my little girls I am sewing for.  I only need one more to fit an eight year old, then I should be all set for a few years.  The girls I sew for start out at three and go to eight right now.  There are six of them for the time being.  I need to get busy on the  summer dresses I have picked out for them.  I only have the first one partially finished for a five year old.

I am leaving in about 15 days for my trip to the west coast and Alaska.  I have not decided how long I will be gone might be eight weeks or more.  Depends on how I feel and if they get tired of me being there.  I do not yet have a return ticket.  At least I will have access to a sewing machine and I know several projects have been lined up for me to work on.  Plus I have a couple of knitting projects that I need to finish both are shawls one is almost finished and the second one will be a challenge.  It is all worked from charts and I am not that familiar with working from charts.  At least the designer stated that these charts are for advanced knitters.

The Unloved Women

The Unloved Woman I stood there at the foot of her bed looking at her and wondering what in her life had made her the bitter old woman that she was.  I am sure it is not where she wanted to be, I know that she wanted to be loved by someone.  Not even her children cared enough to come sit by her side as she laying dying.  I was here and it was not out of a since of duty or love.  Just a concern that no one, no matter how ugly they had been during their life needed to spend their final moments alone. She had made my life a living hell the last few years as she tried her utmost to separate my family one by one.  She had already destroyed her own family as could be seen because they all refused to come be with her in her final hours.  Again, it was left up to me and I can’t say that I was very happy to be in this position.  But how sad it was to see here alone with not a soul in her family who cared enough to come sit with her during her final hou...

Ghost

There is a ghost living at my house and he can be as quiet as a mouse. but he can be a trickster too and often likes to drop a shoe. When is comes to planting time he hides the seeds so you can't find. I smell the fires he sometimes starts And though I search both high and low There is no fire I can find. Just the smell of burning logs. When it comes to evening time I smell the fire of olden times.

February 18, 2016 1:00 am Krazy Karyn Farm Soldotna, Alaska Today I have been here a week!  The kids are doing much better, almost acting like normal.  Karyn did take the, to the doctor and got the, some meds.  Both Kathel and Maybel have ear infections but the meds have made all the difference and only have two doses.  They do have 10 days worth and it is gritty and neither one wants to take it so it will get harder and harder as the days go by. Last night I went to hockey practice to watch the boys play hockey.  It was fun, they divided the rink into three practice areas and the group into three groups and each are practiced a different play.  I only could figure out the first rink were they were shooting the puck into the net.  The middle rink I didn't get at all and the last rink they pushed a ball around with their feet.  Then in the end they played a game of a minnow and sharks.  A few of the kids start out in the middle and the...
