Tuesday, Tea and . . . Taking a breath

Good Evening Tuesday

On Tuesdays I like to link up to Elizabeth and Friends.

But recent events have taken on a life of their own and computer time was....

well there wasn't much . . . if any.

Please pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage.

I have some catching up to do.

Today I am having some Lady Grey Tea in a Starbucks mug that was given to me as a gift.

I have been working on a shawl for
....someone...
I am not sure who.
Maybe me. Maybe you ?

 But I like the pattern and needed to stay calm during 

the first month of my new granddaughter's life. 

 Preemies have a way of taking over an entire family,

 and the emotions of so many key players became very overwhelming.

 I love knitting.
 It really calms my nerves.

In other Artsy News ... 

I made four 5x7 Art Cards for the monthly

Happy Art Swap with SandieKaye ( link on sidebar)

   

 I also made ATCs for a one-one swap with someone I met through Instagram.

So Yes I have been keeping busy.

in other news...

A large branch fell and shattered one of our skylights in our sunroom.

So
We had tree work done.

We had four skylights removed.

And we had new shingles installed.

It didn't go smoothly....they were installing the wrong color shingles.

 so they had to remove them and do it again.

oh and.....

My dear Lifeguard traveled out west to scout out an
 area in Colorado, where we would like to live when he retires.

He likes the Northern part of the state...
easier to get to Jackson Hole, the Tetons and Yellowstone.
While I like the Southern part of the state because it's easier to
get to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Zion, and Albuquerque.
So we thought Glenwood Springs would be the perfect halfway spot.

and finally . . .
. . . . the completed scarf.

October was a very busy month.
I hope November is quiet.
Thanks for stopping by.
