I'm Late, I'm Late, you know the rest

Well, already I’m behind. (I did say once a week, right)?  I am still catching up from Christmas and tax season is upon us.  I can’t seem to run fast enough.  I know you know the feeling!

I made aprons for the girls in the family before Christmas and that was enough to make me fall behind on the cosmetic bags that I made to hold their other gifts.  (I always give up and give gift cards to the guys).  I went small this year and loaded the cosmetics bags up with anything that fit in the bag like sterling rings, bracelets and necklaces, along with new cosmetics.  By new I mean those things you see in ads but can’t seem to find in the stores yet.  (Amazon does it again).  I also added my contribution to the girls’ safety with these….

I'm fitting in other sewing around work.  It doesn’t matter that Bill and I closed the business 2 years ago we still have five clients who insist they don’t know what we are talking about and “Oh yeah, here are my books and things from last year.  When will my taxes be done?”  We indulge them while we can.  This means that tax season has me preparing financials and Bill working on tax returns and both of us busier than we want to be.  I guess there is something to be said for being needed!

Max is busy finding new places to sleep.  We have released him from his crate and while he enjoys sleeping on the bed—all over the bed, he also tries out new things like the couch, his bed in the office, and my cold sewing room floor. Our bed was always Macy’s place to sleep and she did not share.  So, he went peacefully into his crate every night as if to say that it wasn’t worth arguing about.  Now the world is his sleepy time oyster and he is making the most of it.


Next post I will tell you about my current knitting and crocheting projects.  They do exist!

Life is good.

COMING TO A BLOG SITE NEAR YOU!

Hello old friends and new.  Starting the first week of February, Comfort Zone is being revived.  I will try to post once a week or at least no longer than two weeks.  

Out of necessity I have planned some restructure of the blog in the form of content.  I don't knit as much as I once did.  Now I crochet, knit, sew (a lot) and have jumped into pattern making with a passion.  That's patterns for sewing.

I must be honest and tell you that knitting mostly lends itself to dish cloths and crocheting to afghans.

Wonder dogs Macy and Max would have been ever present as well, however, we lost Macy in August of 2019.  She stayed with us for 18 years and finally told us it was "time."  But Max is holding the fort and staying busy getting into everything that isn't nailed down.  He is an adorable menace!  One of the things I want to share with you in the future is Max's heart.  He cared for Macy during her last years, as her eyes and ears.  Being blind and deaf, she could not find her way back to the house when she went out into the yard.  Max was always there to guide her back in and help get her settled into her bed.  More on this in the future. 

Yea!!!  There IS a future for Comfort Zone.  I hope you will come back or stop by if you are new and share life with me.

Life is good.
