Summertime. . .

It is about to be summertime, June when it gets hot, kids are out of school, and I used to do lots of in-person events. However, not this year, this year I get to move again, ok so not until July but . . . that's not really better. 😅 I will be buying cases of water and hiring movers. 

In the meantime, the packing has begun, but not with my shop. I started with the photo set up and moved to the bookcase, I really want to clear my bench before packing my shop, so I scaled the spines. 😉

Now I just need to make them heads and legs and tails. I have the whole month of June to pack so plenty of time, especially considering this was a rental house and I never fully UN-packed here. 😇 

I will say after months of indecision and lack of direction it is nice to have a solid plan. I am actually really excited about the new place, house in the country, super peaceful and quiet, no neighbors, no park, no bus stop, no junior band members next door, no jackoff in a sports car thinking the neighborhood is a drag strip. 😌 We sat in the driveway on the truck tailgate talking to the realtor and there is no way to describe the peace that I felt in that open space with the breeze, watching a rabbit across the drive pay us no mind. I also found a frog on the deck, and I think there are mice for Jaspurr to chase. 
If you're not a country person, if you didn't grow up barefoot in a creek, running fields at your grandparent's house, if you've never been in countryside so quiet all you hear are crickets, you wouldn't understand.

There is a rabbit in the middle of this photo, you may not see him well because he is small and far away, but I'm sure we will make friends. 💗💗

Oh wow. . .

The "Weekly" part of the updates has been missing lately. 💩 
I had not realized just how far away from "weekly" I had gotten, sorry. Life has been weird lately and some big changes are coming which is time consuming and distracting, so I guess it's not surprising that I have lost all concept of time and just stopped posting. 😶

Unfortunately, for the curious types I'm not going to blog details, I will just say it is Husband, job, location related and you can probably guess the rest. 

In the meantime, the rainbow baby still does not have a tail, and his brethren remain bench bound and incomplete. 😒


though I am over my frustration with his legs so he will be getting a tail as soon as I have time to decide the pattern, the colors, the length, and attachment 😅 



I am also kind of excited about the other color-brothers, but sadly, they are still just bits of spine at the moment, seriously I haven't even attached the scales to the chain yet, maybe today or tomorrow I'll have some time.


Happy Memorial Day holiday weekend, Happy Indy 500, happy whatever makes you happy. 😇
