We went to the movie "Mama Mia" yesterday, it was hysterical! I haven't laughed that hard at a movie for ages...Pierce Brosnan singing ABBA songs, what a crack up! Meryl Streep did an awful lot of leaping and prancing about, either she's in great shape or the stunt double did a terrific job of looking like her. Good pick me up movie.
I'm packing up to move again...it's been a decade of moving from house to house for me and I'm ready to stop! Let's see there was out of a house and onto a boat in Seattle, then from the boat to a house in Canada, then from that house to a mobile home in Juneau then 5 different apartments in Juneau then down to Washington where I bought a house that turned out to be so wrong for me it was less than a year before I packed it up and moved back to Alaska...now it's from Anchorage to Haines where I will become a home owner again. I want to love it there and maybe even grow old in a small maritime town in Alaska. (holy sh*t, I've never written down the number of moves, that's crazy!)
The most difficult thing about moving to and living in a small isolated town is shipping. Whether it's your entire household or on line purchases shipping to a zip code with less than 10,000 people requires creativity or money (or both) I'll be driving my stuff to Haines in a U-haul (about 2,000 dollars cheaper than a shipping company) but...U-haul doesn't have a store in Haines. I'll have to take the truck to Juneau on the ferry to drop it off. Thank goodness I was able to get reservations for a big vehicle!
On the creativity side, I've done a little bit of stitching and a lot of on line shopping for inspiration. Last winter's big project is up on the Beadin' Path website, check it out!

That IS a lot of moves! Your odyssey is almost over....
I HOPE so. I'd dearly love to not pack another box for about 100 years.
Like Dulcey, I hope your odyssey is almost over.
And the mask. OH MY, that mask. Beautiful work, as are the rest of the masks in that project.
