Fall is here!

Well Reilly is the only bear I have left so I need to go back to finishing some i have started. Do you ever start a bear and then get distracted or redirected? I do and end up with several "in process"bears waiting to be born! Too much going on at once! We brought home a stunning chainsaw bear from Chester, Vt last week. He is so beautiful! I will have to post his picture soon! Stunning talent at the chainsaw competition! Fall is here and i hear Christmas coming...ok I'm a self winding stress case.! time for bed right now!

Chester Craft Fair-I Love Vt!

We has such a good time in Chester last weekend! Even with the rain there was alot of people in town and  sales were good! I love Vermont but certain towns i hold particularly dear! Chester is just beautiful with all the old historic stone house! There are great restaurants there and in Ludlow, Vt. Fun shops and loads of antiques! Come visit folks, the roads are fine! Color will be peak in the next two weeks we had our first frost last night..so they will start changing in earnest now! Chicken pie suppers, hot apple pies..and Georgette at the Hugging Bear is a little bit of Teddy bear heaven! 9,000 bears and a great collection of Stieff!

Complete Inertia!

I am supposed to be making bears fir the show in Chester, Vt Oct 1st..but so many other things
Keep popping up. Including just sheer exhaustion! We started a simple floor project in the bathroom..click in place vinyl. Which led to a new sink (cuz we had to pull out the old one anyway..) the Terry cracked the toilet re installing it...sloop we have anew one of those to!
Which led to shopping for towel bars we couldn't find. I have officially corrupted him..I showed his some steam punk towel holders made of galvanized plumbing pipe ..and he was off!
They came out great! Very clever my husband! Too bad we ran out of money because we really need to update the tub too! Will post pictures soon! Now where is that bear pattern?

I hate spiders ...

I have been sparing with a spider the last few nights..and he may have a friend . I refuse to think I am seeing 2 spiders because I would have to burn the house down. I have tried in the wee hours of the morning to kill it ( glasses would help but oddly enough I don't sleep in them!) staying a safe distance away. Tonight it was on the base of the sink . AND I MANAGED TO SCARE IT TOWARDS THE BEDROOM! Augh!!! Can't spray I might poison the cat ( the totally useless sleeping ..ignoring the spider cat ) where is my gun?

Work Progressing..dust still drifting!

Well the re pointing of the brick is still coming along. There is still dust to be remove every night before we can open the windows.And more money to be printed..sigh..
My husband has been working steadily on the milk house. Repairing the walls at the moment. Discovered they are insulated! Hope the up coming long weekend will mean more progress all around! And maybe that tree out back will finally start blooming money! Excited truly about the end results but the process can be so expensive and tedious!

I have staked my claim!

After years of working on our old house we have finally arrived at a where there may be a new garage this summer and mostly cleared land where the barn was. We kept the little milk house because we just couldn't part with it. And yesterday I said MINE! I want a studio of some sort! And this is apart from the house..it's concrete based and therefore fire proof mostly! And lo and behold my own little elf is out there repairing the roof on it today! Yeah. I told him if he cleared more of the high grass around it I would help...not liking the snakes that use go be residents !I mean BIG snakes for Vt. Aauughh.. Makes me crazy just to think about it! Have to photgraph the progress! Smile! Just ran out and snapped a quick photo.

My flea market find!

Isn't he a cutie? I have been wanting a new small bear and there he was on a table just waiting for me!
