did I labor? of course, but for me, it's necessary<br />
there was time spent in the garden, a new feeder was added<br />
socks were completed, sweater for Noa is nearly done (one sleeve to go!!!!)<br />
another sock cast on this morning (two more cast on's planned before the end of the day)<br />
<br />
bulbs have been planted (more to come next weekend)<br />
soil added to the planter beds and the coop moved to the side of the house for Sophia (who I prefer to call Allyne)<br />
<br />
a roasted chicken made into Chicken Tortilla soup and put in the freezer for later in the month with the hope cooler weather is on the way<br />
<br />
lots of talking over the front yard fence with neighbors - with a newborn neighbor's baby girl added to my knitting list for a cute baby girl beanie with a soft pom pom<br />
<br />
so I'm off, to begin a new (but shorter work week ahead!)<br />
have a great day, I'll be back soon....<br />
<br />
new pictures to post tonight of recent projects off my needles and updates on the house projects as well....<br />
<br />
enjoy your day :-)Lap Dog Knitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434728178336736085.post-79791412626171173312018-08-30T20:44:00.003-07:002018-08-30T20:44:56.020-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
the Labor Day weekend will be here soon....any plans?<br />
I have a long list.....but Monday?....just rest and relaxation...<br />
<br />
let's see if I can really do that?.....Lap Dog Knitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434728178336736085.post-4403115650300968592018-08-30T08:55:00.001-07:002018-08-30T08:55:10.046-07:00insert chuckling here......<br />
<br />
I think about sitting down and writing, really I do!<br />
but then I get pulled in one direction with thoughts, then another, until the time is gone and something that REALLY needs my attention wins.<br />
<br />
It's all good, even the strings of life that pull at me daily - to have nothing to do when a new day arrives, would be the saddest thing in life - to just wake up and ask yourself the question, "what am I going to do today?".... ugh<br />
I prefer waking with a rush of thoughts filling every corner of my brain - with tasks that will far outnumber the hours of the day ahead<br />
<br />
My projects are many - from paint brushes, pruners, knitting needles to kitchen pots - they all call to me....inside and out, from dusty attic boxes, to potted plants in the garden long forgotten after the summer heat set in...there is much to do<br />
<br />
Thankfully the closets are less cluttered, the floor space revealing dust bunnies along the baseboards now that I've managed to clear and donate clothing - time for the vacuum to remove the bits and pieces that find their way in - years of opening and closing closet doors... always the last place on the list of "things to do" - who wants to spend time in the back of a closet?<br />
<br />
The "west wing" screened patio has come to a stop when the heat arrived - only the dogs enjoyed the new space as they come and go from the backyard - the little hen still stands at the screen waiting to come in, remembering when she first arrived and her coop sat alongside the table saw.<br />
<br />
There's constant progress, constant fluid life activities that keep each day full.....<br />
<br />
A long weekend is ahead, giving me time to upload photos, and begin again my blogging<br />
<br />
see you soon - take care until we meet againLap Dog Knitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434728178336736085.post-78585833758359553532018-08-07T08:47:00.000-07:002018-08-07T08:47:33.401-07:00<br />
<br />
there's much to share - I've been away too long from this space...<br />
<br />
and I want Zoe and Noa to know Nana, who she was, what she loved to do in her life<br />
<br />
and how much she loves them both....<br />
<br />
I'll post in the coming days and pick up from where I left off long ago...<br />
<br />
Nana hit a pot hole in life and she's needed time to climb out of it....<br />
<br />

<br />
Summer? right around the corner....<br />
<br />
May Grey, with it sprinkles....<br />
<br />
June, tomatoes ready for picking - so soon!<br />
<br />
My secret place, oh my secret place......it's underway....<br />
<br />
the space will be smaller than expected, filled with more than planned....<br />
<br />
a place where I will spend many hours....<br />
<br />
with others, alone, and who knows? Maybe I'll even camp a night or two?<br />
<br />
best begin the day ahead.....<br />
<br />
I'll be back another day....<br />

<br />
it's been a month since I last visited my little space<br />
<br />
much like my gardens, I have pushed through the past season and am now looking forward to a new one...<br />
<br />
the extended daylight has helped improve my mental well being...<br />
<br />
I didn't realize how much I am effected by darkness - how much it causes me difficulty....<br />
<br />
there are days/months ahead that will be stressful for me<br />
<br />
because we have reached the next chapter in life - it's a changing time these months ahead, and I know it won't last long, but while we transition - it will be difficult for my mental stability<br />
<br />
but with the added daylight hours after clocking out from work - it will help having some light to enjoy a bit of "what life should be"<br />
<br />
I continue on (actually, my plans continue on for hubby to complete) of the secret place....<br />
<br />
the space where I can shut out the world around me - he's not 100% on board with all the hooks and nails and boards I want - but we'll get there<br />
<br />
what do they say?<br />
<br />
a happy wife, a happy life?<br />
<br />
this week is ending....it's been very low...to ending on a high note for a weekend activity<br />
<br />
hope all is well with you out there in the world -<br />
<br />
flowers on porch, granddaughter sleeping over, hubby retired....<br />
<br />
there's much to be grateful for....<br />

I think about my space here...<br />
so much time has passed that I really don't want to spend time catching up on where and what I have been doing...<br />
<br />
there's been traveling with the trailer...<br />
<br />
the camera has photos that need uploading...<br />
<br />
the house has less collectibles in some areas, and more in others...<br />
<br />
I have turned down offers of traveling, instead, filling that time later on the calendar with a year<br />
spent close to home...<br />
<br />
we'll see how the year plays out....<br />
<br />
it's a relief to know....<br />
<br />
I don't have to figure out anything this year - I only have to show up and life will fill the hours<br />

<br />
<br />
how have you been?<br />
the mailman has filled our post box with a couple of new treasures this week - I'll pull out my camera from the bag and take a couple of pics tonight and post soon for you to see<br />
<br />
new stitch markers (orcas!!)<br />
new yarn, is it possible that with all the yarns in the entire world, I ordered the same EXACT colorway twice?<br />
<br />
yes, possible and I think that's exactly what I did, of course, as usual, I can't find the first skein<br />
<br />
likely tucked away in a safe clean place waiting to be cast on, I do this often<br />
<br />
put things here, there, and everywhere and wonder later "where is it when I want it?"<br />
<br />
it's okay, the search is fun because it usually results in me finding other treasures stored away<br />
<br />
there are new socks cast on, baby sweaters waiting for collars, buttons, sleeves....<br />
<br />
the ground outside is wet, soggy, and beautiful...<br />
<br />
the weekend?<br />
<br />
will be warm again, sunny and bright..<br />
<br />
The Nest will be setup at a local campground...happy to be out and on the road again<br />
<br />
board games, marshmallows and flashlights lined up on the table alongside mugs and gathered sticks..<br />
<br />
see you soon....have a wonderful dayLap Dog Knitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434728178336736085.post-67409179974375127182018-01-01T20:35:00.001-08:002018-01-01T20:35:18.258-08:00hello, and happy new year<br />
did you join the Christmas Eve cast on?<br />
did you intent to join Dani of Little Bobbins and all the others and never got around to it?<br />
well, you're not alone...<br />
<br />
let's aim for next year and hope we get them cast on before midnight instead of last minute wrapping!<br />
<br />
it's been a very busy year over here at Lap Dog Knits...<br />
<br />
a year that ended on extreme high notes....<br />
a year going out like a lion....big...and loud...<br />
<br />
the birth of Noa just days before Christmas -<br />

plans for Lap Dog Knits 2018 are in place..<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
a new backyard construction project is 75% done, a space that will surely be filled by Lap Dog<br />
a new washing machine took priority over a newly carpeted bedroom,<br />
<br />

<br />
a new 2018 monthly planner has recent entries, notes and ideas...<br />
<br />
<br />
but the knitting....<br />
<i><b>oh the knitting...</b></i><br />
the list is long...<br />
the bar has been set high for 2018...<br />
the front porch mail box will soon be full with my last of December purchases arriving....<br />
my final yarn goodness to arrive ...<br />
bringing to an end the growing stash and frequent purchasing....<br />
and the beginning of a year ahead filled with the most desirable projects and knit worthy folks who may (or may not - in case I need to adjust my big knitting plans if Summer is a scorcher) find themselves unwrapping handmade treasures next December...<br />
<br />
so many changes are coming in 2018, all in the best possible way...<br />
even the chickens have a fun filled year ahead to look forward to... perhaps a stroller for walking at the farmers market?<br />
you know you have small dogs when they can drink out of a pair of goggles - they are just the right size to stuff in your jacket when it's cold outside too!<br />

<br />
wishing you all a wonderful beginning to your new year,<br />
check back to see what's in the mailbox....just in case you haven't put a lid on your shopping and stash building yet...<br />
<br />
while baby Noa rests and parents try too as well, Nana will prepare her new space where Zoe has already described our future parties, in a way only six year olds can...with great excitement and anticipation...<br />
hello new year, I do hope you are ready for us...because we have high hopes and big dreams...<br />

are still up in the air along with the Jeep at the repair shop...<br />
<br />
I've been told it will be ready today...<br />
<br />
we'll see, didn't they say yesterday it would be ready to pick up?<br />
<br />
I told him I am now on a first name basis with the Uber driver.. he laughed, I wasn't looking to bring a chuckle to the mechanic when my dollars will be filling his cashbox, and now the Uber driver's wallet<br />
<br />
anyway, today should be the day.....my red Jeep, returning back to me where it belongs...<br />
all the nuts and bolts tightened, fluids clean, brakes silent (and the marbles gone)....<br />
<br />
only a Jeep owner really knows the pleasure of bumping along with the radio blaring, a quick wave to a fellow Wrangler while making a turn or the wind coming in the box shaped roof....<br />
<br />
why people drive a sedan?....who knows....makes my skin crawl at the thought....<br />
<br />
I know hubby would be fine with one (maybe even wishes for one?)...<br />
<br />
sorry Charlie, not for this girl...ask me when I'm 80 years old...and only then will I tell you..."time to buy another truck" for Grandpa<br />
<br />
no sedans will ever be parked at home...<br />
<br />
there's been camping with the pups and hubby during the past month..<br />
<br />
in a couple of days, I will roll out alone to join the Ladies on a campout...<br />
<br />
four days of laughing, talking eating, chatter, chatter, chatter that will surely fill the air throughout the entire campground - not to worry, last count, I think we've nearly filled the park!<br />
<br />

<br />
I've spend some time along the waters edge...<br />
<br />
the glow of morning sunlight, the constant sound of running water, the distant, and not so distant sounds of birds, cranes, and hawks made this location perfect for a campout<br />
<br />
we'll be back...<br />
<br />
next year.....<br />
<br />
for now, time is getting short, the best is yet to come for 2017<br />

which I should also be doing at home...<br />
instead of the recent hauling home of "treasures" I've been finding at local flea markets and thrift stores..<br />
<br />
there's "a plan"...<br />
which is what I keep repeating to myself...<br />
to avoid the guilt<br />
<br />
anyway.... the knitting is picking up with the cooler weather beginning...<br />
the heavy cook pots on the stovetop are dusted off in preparation of Fall...<br />
and a chili contest is in my near future...<br />
<br />
happy week ahead...<br />
<br />
see you soon..<br />

new adventures,<br />
dates marked on the calendar for camping,<br />
roofs have come off,<br />
new wall sockets have been installed,<br />
<br />
hand knit socks are filling the "sock box",<br />
countless bags (okay, I did count 38) of yarn stored here and there, and everywhere<br />
still more yarn waiting to be packed away from moths<br />
<br />
just when I thought the trailer was "sorta finished"<br />
I've decided, it's not<br />
<br />
white paint, white furniture, re-purpose, flea market finds, clocks that outnumber the space available, pillows with no place to go - a new room underway<br />
<br />
thrift store chicken plates, too much fabric with too little time or talent, to know what I'm doing when the needle speeds along in a wonky direction while creating far from perfect crafts<br />
<br />
mastering the perfect martini<br />
<br />
but best of all,<br />
<br />
I found a book - that may have given me the answer that will help me win the battle inside my head<br />
<br />
see you soon friends,<br />
<br />
the camera is back in my hand, along with the needles, paint brush, and steering wheel with trailer in tow...Lap Dog Knitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434728178336736085.post-41273979503888759522017-07-23T13:27:00.001-07:002017-07-23T13:27:20.896-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
there's balance,<br />
with exciting additions coming by year end...<br />
<br />
summer in midseason...<br />
enjoying every warm (or hot) moment of it...<br />
<br />
new discoveries, friends, and adventures...<br />
<br />
good days<br />
<br />

planes and maybe trains?....<br />
<br />
life made it's adjustments<br />
<br />
no plane trip in the future..<br />
<br />
and at this point....<br />
<br />
there is zero on the horizon of summer vacation activities...<br />
<br />
so I guess....that means I'm open for anything!<br />
<br />
packages continue to arrive in the mailbox from far and away places....<br />
<br />
fiber, fun bags and soon Tuft Woolen soaps will be waiting for me when my work day has ended and I arrive back home at the end of a long day...<br />
<br />
I'm very grateful for a hobby that brings me so much pleasure...<br />
<br />
have a great week....!<br />

<br />
I needed to step away from this space....<br />
<br />
during those days I made some changes....<br />
<br />
some additions...<br />
<br />
"the nest" is my most favorite....<br />
<br />
hubby and I have been enjoying countless camping trips and "Sisters" trips continue to fill my calendar..<br />
<br />
I'm going to show you our last campsite at the beach.....<br />
<br />
soon, we'll be South in the desert....(hubby hasn't seen the next place I plan to take him)..<br />
<br />
but for today?<br />
<br />
we're off....<br />
<br />
to the lake to return the quad freeing up some much needed space in the garage at home....<br />
<br />
have a great day....<br />
<br />
see you soon!<br />
<br />

<br />
since the header pic still shows a messed up doorway frame.....<br />
<br />
that's long been repaired....<br />
<br />
it seems this entire site needs an update.....<br />
<br />
let's see what the weekend brings....<br />
<br />
changes....<br />
<br />
both here, under the roof at home....under the eaves outside.....<br />
<br />
it's time to post what I've done....what is to come......<br />
<br />
and what is on the wish list...... Lap Dog Knitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434728178336736085.post-41800019285374245792016-11-08T16:33:00.000-08:002016-11-08T16:33:54.346-08:00the camping trip went beautifully....<br />
<br />
it's a fit....the trailer...the kind of fit that leaves you feeling relaxed.....<br />
<br />
I've reached my goal with the purpose of joining this camping group....<br />
<br />
and now, it's all a roll down the highway.... alone or with others......we are a match.....<br />
<br />
on the knitting front?, oh my,,,,,,!!<br />
<br />
do I dare share that I went to a yarn shop and came out with a bag? Don't I have a lifetime of yarn already spread throughout the entire house?<br />
<br />
well, I did need something to remember the camping weekend by, right?<br />
<br />
yarn for a shawl, a button, needles, and stitch counter completed the purchase....<br />
<br />
there's a tiny sweater on the needles, a cardigan in five pieces and a hat that's going to be completely ripped back.... socks that are cast on? or am I just thinking I started those navy and grey?<br />
<br />
life is good, busy, a constant lesson of new software programs and juggling of time for family...<br />
<br />
the kitchen is pulling my heart strings....the aprons hang waiting, the baking ingredients in the pantry, the holidays creeping ever closer... <br />
<br />
I actually bought the first of the Christmas gifts last weekend....it's a start, and if I could really get my act together before the weekend I could scratch off several more gifts by using the laptop....<br />
<br />
the light is fading by the time I head home....the headlights required and now my glasses need to be kept where I can find them.....<br />
<br />
there's a favorite candle that will be lit, the music I didn't listen to over the weekend, the podcast I'll watch for inspiration all while dinner simmers....<br />
<br />
the news will reveal the election results.....and a lack of interest by me will continue..... neither are deserving of the office they seek.....<br />
<br />
<br />

hubby has been super busy working on the trailer....all while recovering from a recent medical leave from work..<br />
<br />
nothing serious...just another!! you don't want to hear me go off on this topic...another inherited issue<br />
<br />
so, let's go another direction with the post and catch up on life...<br />
<br />
for reasons too long and boring to write about....I stopped blogging...<br />
<br />
and began filling my spare moments watching and listening to podcasts...<br />
<br />
my knitting has been ongoing with the improvements of actually finishing projects...<br />
<br />
the stash....is being used...and that fact alone has given me mental peace.<br />
<br />
on the whole, life has been wonderful...<br />
<br />
we had to say goodbye to our sweet dog Gina and put her to sleep, even after a year being gone, it's still painful to type those words...<br />
<br />
and a little bundle of silliness we named Dory joined us in October of last year....she's the goofiest dog we ever had, keeps us, the other dogs, and cat all entertained<br />
<br />
the chickens are well, happy and healthy....(even hubby has enjoyed them, but you'll never hear him admit it)<br />
<br />
my Sister camping trips are lined up through the coming year (although, I did just cancel the trip to Utah to see Zion & Bryce)...that's a road trip for later, with hubby riding shotgun along side me...<br />
<br />
since we recently drove to Idaho, the distance, landscape and winds....makes the coast of California and redwoods sound more appealing for a road trip in June of 2017....maybe we'll make it further and explore Oregon as well...<br />
<br />
so what's up for this weekend?....plenty!!<br />
<br />
Mom is staying over, Zoe too for a slumber party with hopes Nana has something special planned and surprises for her to take home...<br />
<br />
and the trailer will be continuing with the new curtains, bathroom wall ModPodge experiment, toilet bowl burlap skirt, banners sewn with fall fabrics, and the shudder light fixture painted and plugged in...<br />
<br />
most people just pack a dozen hot dogs, a couple cans of chili and grab the dog and go...<br />
<br />
this whole Sister club has turned into a stylish, over the top, eat off fine china and have your trailer lit like Las Vegas extravaganza......all super fun and exciting...<br />
<br />
not all the Sisters are this way....but when those who are put in the effort..it makes it that much more fun for everyone!!<br />
<br />
so today, it's all hands to work...Mom's, Zoe's, and hubby....each will play a part in getting me prepared for the Fall Ya' All that arrives in 10 days, that's when the trailer heads down the highway where I'll be joining 75 other happy women campers for a long weekend of fun...<br />
<br />
other news, the house is a mess....not sure what that is all about?<br />
I have no interest in it anymore, I still consider daily of other places to live and consider options after Mom is gone...<br />
hubby is tired of hearing about it and sits and stars at the t.v. each and every night .....<br />
the hours are quiet in the evening....little to no conversation, and truthfully, I have no interest in putting forth the effort to talk...<br />
I don't take this as a bad sign..just a chapter in our lives that comes when you've been together as long as we have been...<br />
it will change again....you can plan on that with life....there will always be change<br />
<br />
what I would like to change?...is having my house clean and decorated again...<br />
<br />
I fully expect when the trailer is finally finished, the piles of "maybe save", and "thrift store for sure" piles on the floors will disappear, hubby's card table with the jigsaw puzzle completed by the time he returns back to work - gone!!. .and the rains arrive outside.....<br />
<br />
I am extremely aware this past year how much I miss cooler weather, rain drops, clouds, breezes, and neighbors that have pride in where they live...<br />
<br />
our neighborhood continues to decline in appearance...many have taken the drought as a good excuse to stop all maintenance on their entire residence...why this should include house paint is beyond my understanding...<br />
<br />
it's ok, I know there'll come a day...change right?...either they'll paint and turn on the sprinklers?...<br />
or,<br />
I find that perfect little place listed on Zillow and we'll pull up stakes....<br />
<br />
until then, work, work, work and travel in the sweet little, and super shiny!!! Silver Streak..<br />
<br />
did I mention, when I took it out last weekend?....the cars that hovered around the trailer, like little bees to the hive , around the trailer as we rolled down the highway... people appreciate the history of the Air Streams, maybe missing the simpler days??....I wondered how many people still camp?..how many choose to leave the televisions, cell phones, and computer screens and take back their lives...<br />
<br />
actually, now that I think about it...I hope not too many...<br />
the campsites fill quickly, requiring reservations be made months or a full year in advance...<br />
<br />
so, look on my fellow drivers on the highway...I'll take you camping with me in spirit...and you stay home on your sofas....<br />
<br />
I'm off friends..to continue with a full day's activities, in and out of the car, Home Depot, Brick Basement, Joann's Craft .....on and on....<br />
<br />
see you soon...you will be the first to see the trailer....it's almost done!<br />

<br />
I got half way there...<br />
<br />
the photos are now on the laptop...<br />
<br />
time has been spent inside the trailer getting ready for the first trip out (really, the second, but that first trip was before the walls were painted, the table built, the refrigerator installed....)<br />
<br />
so this trip, will include a bit of sweet vintage, new appliances, and a whole bunch of excitement!!<br />
<br />
I'll try, try, try to upload tonight before going to bed some recent pictures...<br />
<br />
my knitting is keeping me content, the cool weather is keeping me giddy, and the calendar of 2017 is keeping me far away from the gloom that had been hanging on for so very long....<br />
<br />
so my dear friends....please give me a few more hours to add some photos, finish my day at work, and pick over the last few bits of décor that will join us over the weekend inside the trailer....<br />
<br />
hugs,<br />

<br />
busy, with work, dentist appointments, fabric stores, trailer renovations....<br />
<br />
the photos are coming soon....<br />
<br />
I thought it would be last weekend...but my knitting and trailer filled my extra time.....<br />
<br />
the knitting, oh my gosh....the projects are growing....all unfinished<br />
<br />
today the socks will continue (there have been a couple you haven't seen yet, soon I promise)<br />
<br />
the baby sweater that's heavenly to work on...<br />
<br />
the two hats that are going to be completely frogged and reknit into something that actually fits....<br />
<br />
the toy....the sweet little toy that's been stuffed in the bag far too long...<br />
<br />
the cardigan....geez, since I can't even remember the year that was cast on - that's pitiful, not my memory but the fact it has sat unfinished for years!!!<br />
<br />
the Tree House Hat - that appears that Zoe will be wearing ..... not knit to gauge at all....!!<br />
<br />
the trailer blanket....not cast on yet....but waiting in all it's glory.....it will be the most beautiful of blankets...<br />
<br />
speaking of blankets....is it possible to knit one for Mom by Christmas???<br />
<br />
so friends, enjoy your day....I hope you are well,,,,,,life is good here....<br />
<br />
there's a dream coming true for me.....through my daughter....time will tell where it leads....<br />
<br />
I do hope one day....everything I want for her comes true....and a dream of my own happens before my golden years arrive before I can make it happen....<br />
<br />
we'll see....until then....I have my little trailer to take me places......<br />
<br />
see you soon with a fist full of photos.....!!Lap Dog Knitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025912021673730932noreply@blogger.com1
