Done Deal, Fall Color, Paint Class, New Man, Treat, and Soup, Cats and Broom

Well, what was I thinking?

HAHA

After laying on my couch

in so much pain all summer,

I knew moving closer to 

Amber was the thing to do,

The timing of finding my

dream home was off.

However, Two days of Open House

and I have a contract.

Selling as is, minor repairs. 

Inspection to be done after 

the work in the 

den and BR is done.

The process of getting here

while just a couple of weeks

of healing was a challenge.

My daughter was a big 

help weekend before 

last. I just collect

to many projects that I 

never get around to and that

has to stop.

I have to say, last time 

was easier, I had moved into

my childhood home before

I sold the other, so it was empty

when sold.

EASIER.

I hate moving so close

to Christmas but it is 

what it is.

Fall seems to have

made it to us the past week.

I am surprised, we were losing

so many leaves due to no rain, 

glad to have some color.

In between packing, cleaning, repairs

and life in general, I have 

managed to do a few things.

I taught a paint class an

hour away. 

I always allow the host

two paintings to go from

They tell me what they are looking

for, I find a few, they pic two.

Then the guest have a choice

of which one to paint.

They made me get in this

pic. Second from the left.

During the great sewer back on 

June, in the den area, 

I lost paintings that I had painted

for other classes.

I always paint the two pics

up and they are on display to

go by when guest paint.

So that I would not collect painted

paintings like that, I had a drawing

and both that I took were given 

away.

These were mine.

Other exciting news that

has taken place through

all this crazy, 

I met a new guy!

I just need to see if I 

can get him to give up the 

saw! I think he 

wanted to cut my hair.

During my Open House on 

Friday and Sat. 

James and Julie had a 

yard sale at the venue.

I had two SUV full of 

stuff. Nothing was marked

I just told them to just go 

for it and sell for whatever.

They closed up at one 

on both days, and with 

open house I could not get 

there till after one.

But, Julie insisted that 

I come Sat. and have lunch.

She is like me, a good 

soup from the crockpot

is the way to go.

But for dessert we had 

candy apples.

I have not had one of those 

since I was a kid.

That was fun, and tasty.

It inspired me to go home 

and make some to 

eat off for the a few days,

Misty managed to work

her way between the 

throw and the back of the 

chair. 

Peeking at her mom.

Lily has gone right along with 

the newest of packing, 

and noise from downstairs with

the workmen.

Misty, however, is not so sure

about all that noise.

The door to the den area 

is closed so the cats

can't get in the way and

the noise is not so bad, but

she wanted to check it out anyway.

Had that door opened up, she

would have made a mad dash

to under the bed and up 

in the box springs!

Not only did I push to

paint two paintings I 

was able to do a simple

30 min project.

For years now I have wanted

to make a broom for 

Halloween

when I dress as a witch.

Was not really sure how to go

about it till I saw a nice

one in a small store in 

Bell Buckle TN.

The woman told me how she made it.

Two bought cinnamon

brooms that you find in

the stores this time of year.

I took them apart and 

laid the on one side of a 

limb I collected from the 

yard a couple of yrs ago

I wrapped twine around that

and the limb once or twice

just to hold it so I could

flip it over and to the other side.

Once I had that done I continued

to wrap twine a bunch of times 

so I knew the broom part would

stay in place.

When wrapping the broom part,

I actually placed the bottom of 

the broom parts a way up the 

limb so that when I stood the 

broom the bulk of the weight 

rest on the limb not the 

other part. After I was done

 with the wrapping of the 

cinnamon part, I added 

some decorative had here 

at the house.

 I love the circular width of 

the limb for the handle but

I loved the shape also.

Only, it's too tall, 

Since I like the crook, I

am going to cut it just 

above the crook, leaving 

the width of a hand to hold 

it. Problem, is there are boxes

stacked around the saws.

HAHA

Prob have to wait on the 

cutting.  

Where the crook starts is 

a cool knot that I will 

keep and not cut off.

My hand is placed right

about the knot, so I really

have to get some cut off it or 

I think it will make flying

hard!!!

Hoping all is well,

Pam
