The Tale of the Piano

A couple weekends ago we sold our piano. It has been very bittersweet for me. We needed to sell the piano so our living room would look bigger and more open to potential home buyers. And, to be honest .... it wasn't the greatest of pianos, and we always said when we moved out of this house (at least if we were to move cross-country again) that we would sell it and buy a new piano after reaching our new location. So, when I listed the piano on Craig's List all I thought about was a new piano ... one that would be a little easier to keep in tune, one that would be a little smaller, and one that would have a better sound quality.

Little did I realize how much I would MISS this ugly piano! A day has not passed in which I haven't turned the corner from the kitchen, or walked down the stairs, with every intention of sitting down at the piano and playing a restful tune. I MISS THIS PIANO! Playing the piano is so relaxing for me, and it's been really hard to not have a piano in the house. I hope our house sells soon, if not so we can all be reunited in Arizona, so that I can get a new piano and my stress level can reduce!

The thought of selling our piano, when we were suppose to move up to Washington, was very sad thought for me. Thankfully we didn't have to move that far, so the piano didn't have to go. I would've missed it terribly, so I feel your pain. It's funny how such a "clunky" thing can give so much comfort. Music is amazing!!

Just as an FYI, I know you read my blog. You always leave a comment, but I do believe you're the only one. Thxs :)

So I banished myself from reading blogs until I got mine caught up...did you just infer that you're moving? To UTAH?? That last part was just my wishful thinking, but am I right??

Blogiversary

Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
