What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:
Blocked:

The Tehachapi Project Shawl.



Finished:
The Boneyard Shawl --not yet blocked:



Still in Progress:

Bears for the Mother Bear Project--my 13 bears in 2013 project continues with Bears 30-32.

Dizzy Blondes:
I am cheerfully spinning the 12 oz of the fiber dyed for the last CFR by Desert Vista Dyeworks.

Strategy:
Be your own advocate, whether it is for your mental health or your physical health. Sad but true, health services here in America is overloaded, so the patient has to stay on her toes.

Put A  Lid On It:
Berry jellies and jams, some pickled beets, and pickled green beans with red peppers.

Canning season has rolled in, here in southern CA.

Something I Really Like:
My Ipad Mini. Unexpected love.

Blather:

CFR news, as always.

Retirement--in very slow stages.

Eleanor, the Collie of my childhood dreams:



CFR5: Five Peaches Walk into a Bar... is on its way!

Dr Gemma, version 2013 retired, Beta

Retirement is interesting. I seem to have less time right now, instead of more.

On the bright side, paying off debt is completed. I've moved into the phase of doing needed repairs and phasing myself out of the contracting work.

I'd love to move into the phase of posting an episode and actually knitting!
