We finally gave her a name

It's Callie, Callie Cat, or CC.. She's a lively little critter.. The kids are obsessed with her. I'll write more later..

new family addition

I did something crazy.. Not only do we have 2 BIG dogs we have 5 angora bunnies and now I came home with a kitten. Tell me am I a little glutten for punishment. She's a cutie though she's calico and only 8 weeks old or so. Right now were trying to get her and our dogs to accept one another. Knock on wood they'll accept each other otherwise we'll have to find the kitten a good home.

I worked at the farmer's market to day in Steep falls. Our group Saco Valley Fiber Artists have a booth there. It was me, janet, and Su. We didn't sell much but it's nice to get out and have some fun. No kids for a little while and hanging with friends. (and bringing home a kitten)... I'll post a pic of the kitten as soon as I can. Oh well thats it for now.. More later...

Ebay

I put a bunch of my fiber on ebay and it all sold.. I'm so excited. I'm always afraid of posting stuff because you never know if it will sell or not. and then your stuck with the fees. I also sell on etsy, yarny goddess, a local store called Leapin' Lizards and I do craft shows. I'm so behind on orders right now. When I go to bed my mind goes nuts with what i need to do and should do that I barely sleep. It's frustrating at times, but all in all I seem to thrive on it.. oh well just a little blurb today, I need to go and clean house.. be back soon..

Some weekends

Some times weekends can be crazy. My husband and our friend lived up to the "redneck" definition. They decided to "cut" down a tree with a chain (linked not saw) and a dodge durango. They actually did it with no damage to each other or anyone but it had it's hair raising moments.. That wasn't enough they then had to level a shed using the vehicles. I and my friend Sue, had a yard sale. We made a few bucks, but gave ALOT away. We had one woman come with a little boy, his dad sent him with nothing not even a tooth brush and she was low on money so we gave her grocery bags full for a dollar. Another woman came and she does foster care we gave her 2 big trash bags for 5 dollars.. Like I said not exactly a big money day, but we did feel good about helping people a little. I also worked on some of my weaving..

I did a little destashing with my fiber stash this weekend as well and placed them on ebay. I decided I probably wasn't going to use those ones and I wanted to make more room for roving and yarn that I know I'd use.. I'm trying to get my studio into better shape, we've been working on it. Somedays I wonder if I'll ever have order to that room.. Just figured I'd do alittle updating. :)

Ocean sunset

This is the Sunset at the ocean on July 4th.. Gorgeous...

4th of July

OK so for the 4th of July we went to the ocean for the day. It was very cool. We went to Old Orchard Beach. It was a very interesting day we found some critters.. India brought us those worms and I believe there bloodworms which bite. She had a blast with them. I always figured it would be my son who'd bring me all the little icky critters but no it's india who wants them she asked for a pet snake the other day (YUCK).. I told her not til she learns to keep her room clean... Anyway. It was fun, where we were we could see the fireworks being set off in 3 different towns not to mention all the illegal ones. we had our own personal fireworks show. someone brought illegal ones and set them off and they exploded above our heads. Of course the cops showed up and gave us a "friendly" talking to. because we were right there. oh well.

Yester day the fifth we went to New Hampshire to Diana's Bath (waterfalls and a small hike) It was beautiful. After that we went to Cathedral ledge (they aint joking it's a ledge with a BIG drop). As beautiful as it was i hyperventilated the whole time because there was no fencing. I kept waiting for my kids to get cocky and fall... but all in all it was a blast. then we went to N. conway and played in the park for a couple of hours. It was a nice relaxing day. Now today I think were recuperating. :)

sage driving

Finally sunshine

So finally after roughly 2 weeks of rain, gloom, and gray we had blue skies and heat. Although we did have a small sunshower. We went to the beach which was great. nice and cool. the water was actually really nice.

A few days ago though we had a break in the rain and decided to go to the lake. So me, my 2 youngest and my friend, Sue with her kids went to the limington rapids. My Shane (who's 8 and approx 60 lbs) decided to swim through the deep part of the river to the shallow sand bar. Generally not a bad thing he can swim and it was only about 5 feet. Unfortunately he decided to have his little sister India piggy back him because she wanted to be with him. Suddenly I hear a crying scream and looked up. all I see is the whites of shanes eyes and india holding on for dear life while trying to climb up her brother. I start yelling at India to let go but she wasn't about to do that So I ran in and grabbed india, pulled her off her brother and with the other hand grabbed shane and pulled him up. the water was to MY chin. They were a little freaked. Funny part is as I was diving into the water FULLY clothed (wasn't planning to swim:) ) a part of me was panicking at seeing my kids drowning and another part in the back of my mind was saying "damn this water is freaking cold!!!!)

On a lighter note I have tomatoes growing and was able to harvest some lettuce!! Yeah!!
