AH Life!!

I feel that this will Not be my last post with this title. Life has a way of mixing the bitter in with the sweet. Consequently I am putting up a picture of our Sweet Little Smerm. She is leaving, I fear. She has been a member of the family for 17 years now. This past year and a half we have lost our Mama Cat, Pia...our Chow, Schatzy and now Smerm. I thank them all for having helped us raise our children and for loving us so well. It's always hard to say good-bye and I must admit that I am finding that letting go is one of the hardest things I do. Many thanks to all of those who are sending light and love as we go though this rough time.



I have been busying myself, trying to remain calm and remember that life is Sweet. I put up some pear preserves for the winter....however they are so good I will be amazed if they last through the Fall. They are yummy and Michael and I have been enjoying them. Luckily the tree still has a few to be picked and put up.


Our server finally allowed us to put the circular needles up onto the website....they had to retire the old server....it went to server heaven.
We have been blessed with orders almost every day since they went up and we are so pleased..... it's so good to have the new baby up and walking. Run baby run!!

Now I get to show you what Pat Fly of Angora Valley Fibers made using our buttons and beads.
I have been talking about having a sock pattern that incorporated our buttons and Pat ran with the ball. Aren't they cute! I just love Pat! She's put these up as kits for people to buy. They are on her website and hopefully one day soon will also be on ours as well.
I have also been knitting a cable scarf as a Christmas present for our daughter's boyfriend. It's my first cableing and I have found that I just love it. It's good for having a cat in your lap who needs comfort and attention.
But right now I have to finish getting things ready for today's mail run ;)
