Houses we saw

Here are the houses we saw in Oregon.

Okay, here are some pictures

Okay, I am going to post a few pictures. Most are from the visit in Oregon. One is from the cooking class my friend and I went to Wednesday. Enjoy.

Trying to Keep Up

Things have just been non-stop around here! I thought I was finished with VA appointments but I have one more next week for neurology.

I have been very busy with both of my classes and I have also picked up some consulting work so no time for crafts :( I have not even had time to post the things I wanted on Etsy.

I was hoping to get my entry way finished before Beryl and Mark come but I don't think it is going to happen.

I did get a nice table at an estate sale today and another mirror.

I finally got my boxes from Oregon but some of my plates broke in shipment. At least they did not cost too much but still sad. I have no idea when I will get that project done.

I have a phone interview on Monday for an acquisition job. I put in for a bunch of jobs a month ago and I think the replies are starting to trickle in. We will see what they offer me. I have my eye on a teaching position that just opened up at the acquisition university so I need to be choosey. Dave just wants me to get a job...LOL.

Okay, I promise I will post some pictures this weekend. Homework is calling me!

Busy, Busy

I have been so busy since getting home. I've had appointments at the VA hospital to support my disability claim. I have two more this week. I have had to catch up on my homework, I still have an assignment due today.

On the craft front, I have started working on getting items ready to post on my Etsy store. The first items I will post are the collectibles that I have bought from garage sales or thrift shops. I am hoping to get the pictures up today or tomorrow. While I have those out for sale, I am going to work on getting some purses made to put up for sale. I have my ideas for the small Jane Austen purses that I will do first because they will work up fairly quick. Then I will work on some of the more complex things.

I completed the back of my dress while at mom and dad's so I have to start working on the front. I also bought some yarn while at Ashland so that will be here next week in the boxes I mailed with all the plates that I bought.

David finished putting in the cabinets so now I have to get around to finishing up all the remodeling I have started. The entry way is still sitting stripped of wallpaper and wondering what is going to happen to it. My table is still not refinished and I have all the pictures and things I bought to hang still sitting on the floor ready to go up.

In the midst of all of this, I am still looking for some part time work. I am now considering doing real estate. I am going to talk to my Realtor today to see what is involved in all of that. I feel like a kid who can't figure out what she wants to be when she grow ups!

All right off to take care of business for the day. Once I get the Etsy store up and running I will post the link and I will get some pictures posted too.

Jessica's Pretty Shirt

Taking a quick break to post the pictures of Jessica's shirt that we made while I was visiting. It has been a long time since I made a piece of clothing from a pattern and first time doing piping. I think it turned out very good!

I am home!!

I have made it back home finally! I was not able to post while I was gone so I will get things updated this week. I have some house cleaning to do first and I have to get caught up on my homework too. I will post the shirt project that Jessica and I finished before I came home, it turned out really good.

more later.....
