Experiencing technical difficulties

Ok.So I have lots of pictures waiting impatiently to be posted.Some of our new french pocket doors (all installed), some of my crochet hats.Unfortunately the cable for my camera is SOMEWHERE in my dining room.I am unable to get in there right now since that is where we stored everything until we were done.We are not quite done yet just a little more painting to do.So you will just have to wait a bit longer.In the mean time I have started working on a little crochet sweater for my pumpkin.She is my guinea pig because she can't protest if on arm is longer than the other and the sweater is twice as big as its supposed to be LOL.

Busy Busy

I'm back! For all those who were worried (I know you were) I did not fall of the face of the earth.My feet are firmly planted right where they've always been.I have just had a few things on the go and some things I wish would go! Our household has been afflicted with the dreaded COLD! Sniffles,hacking , humidifiers, cough syrup, endless supplies of Kleenex,you name it.I used to be proud of the fact that I hardly ever got sick.Then BAM! you have kids and then that wonderful record goes out the window.*sigh*.The sniffles are still present but at least they seem to be not so bad.They sure are taking their sweet time to leave though.In the mean time I decided that I would teach myself to crochet.One hook is much easier to deal with than two needles.I have knit before.My grandma taught me when I was small but I was never very thrilled with the fact that I could only make a doll scarf.So it wasn't long before I lost interest.So why crochet?Well I wanted to make one of those little "beanie" hats for my "pumpkin".I figured if I made a few and added some flowers people would stop thinking she was a little boy!My first one took me three days including several hours of trying to untangle unruly yarn.In the end it kind of looked like a doily but I salvaged it with some ribbon and flowers so it looks really cute.I did another one for my "monkey".It took far less time the second time (about 6 hours) .I still wasn't perfect but at least this time it actually looked like a hat.LOL.We have also started a new renovation project which shouldn't take too long.We are adding french pocket doors between our dining room and living room.I'm not a big fan of open concept design so this is kind of the best of both worlds.I get my seperate room but the doors let in a lot of natural light there by giving the feeling of openness.Thats it for now I will share some pictures when the project is complete.

A letter to heaven

Hi Jesus its me.I just wanted to ask you if you could please say hello to my mom and give her an extra big hug for me.Please tell her how much I miss her.I know that she is happy with you and is no longer in pain, but some how
my hurt does not want to leave.I miss her smile,her courage and just those special times of talking together .Its especially difficult in those moments I just need a mothers arms or just some motherly advice.I know a lot of people and have an amazing and supportive church family but there is no one that could fill that roll for me. I have never been extremely close knit with any of my biological family either.Please don't get me wrong there are many wonderful people in my family tree.Just no one I feel that would know "me" well enough or be willing enough to let me pour my heart out on a regular basis.As you know I am a sensitive soul and with me comes a lot of tears that flow easily.It takes someone very special,and patient to know what to do.Thank you that you created her.Thank you that she was MY mother.She is and was a very beautiful person.

With all my love
K.

Lost

Well here I am, on a sort of mini vacation, in Valemount, B.C..My DH is doing some work for one of his dad's customers.Oh I know its a long way to travel (6-9 hours) just to spray a ceiling with texture.But it is very difficult(and expensive) to bring trades people here.I really wanted to tag a long.First of all to see some different scenery and second I really did not want to be looking after the two kids by myself (single parents I salute you!) for four days.It also gives the girls a chance to see Grandpa.(Grandma is away at the moment).I also had the notion that I would have a chance to relax because I don't have to cook the meals and do the laundry ect.ect..The first day was alright but now I feel lost.I feel like I should be doing something.I'm getting bored and fidgitty.There isn't much to do around here during the winter unless your into snowmobiling.Its only a hamlet of about 2000 people.I guess I've got too much of my mom in me.She never sat still for long either.I would take the girls out for a walk or something except for the fact it has been very windy since we've been here and my little monkey doesn't like the wind.She wouldn't stay outside for long.

Its kind of funny.I spend time wishing that all the house work would just go away.Especially the dishes.I hate dishes with a passion!Then when I don't have them to do I wish that I did.How crazy and messed up is that.I certainly wouldn't complain if someone put me on a beach in some warm place and said relax.Some how I think dishes would be far from my mind.Oh well soon we will be traveling home and I will be dreaming of the next vacation.
