Boy it's been along time

Ran off to play wow 7 years ago. But that certainly isn't all i did. By the way i play on exodar server , now since mop a lvl 90 dwarf priest.
Oh let's see i haven't stopped knitting or playing wow. 3 yrs ago hubby got me a kindle for valentines day. Which came in the nick of time . Because the winter i dropped off the face of blogger found me fighting a huge field mice invasion . Took me 3 months to get rid of them. Never would have happened had our mice killing kitty been alive. I lost alot of fabric, yarn and a ton of books in that one. The whole thing began a 4 year long clean house deal on my part
Which began with the attic. Handed my grandson and hubby trash bags and said if its pictures or valuable and can be saved hand it down . If not toss it because no one has seen it in years.
Months went buy. And finally hubby got the clear it out bug. I tossed books out during that time. Because you couldn't be sure . Tossed out all the old kids games and a ton more. So yea getting the kindle fire was a blessing because now if its not on kindle its not coming into my home. Be it book or magazine.
I bought a lot of snap tubs to ,determined i would never go through this again. So now all my fabric and knitting supplies are stored in see through snap tubs.
Last year hubby went for surgery in jan , it was minor, but once he got on his feet. He retired both of us officially. We both have our social security coming in now.
Then once on his feet he went out to the yard. And began to redo the whole thing. All that do to the city coming through and redoing the side walks. They used our yard for everything. Didn't actually harm it as the old patio in the 7 yrs. i been gone from blogger got done in by heavy snow and the old fence went with it that year. Well the city was nice for use of the yard they built us a good fence that went around most of the yard. And left us several loads of top soil. Hubby built the rest of the fence, painted it, put in roses, strawberries, tore down the old ugly barn. Put in a new one and built us a smaller patio.
We then went to the basement were we hadn't actually begun the clean up yet and tore into that two weeks later with the help of his brother hauling it all away we took out 10 truck loads of garbage. After 4 years of going through and going through we are as close to done as you can be with the getting rid of everything that was trash or ya just didn't need.
We redid the craft corner , spent that winter redoing the front-room to what hubby likes . It now looks like a hunting lodge. Moose horns on shelves, deer horns up fishing items carefully places and our recent installment is a pellet stove.
I have actually found time now to knit again. Since during this major home cleaning and clearing of 30 some yrs of stuff . Doing much was next to impossible. I did manage to knit a few sweaters. And one yr for Christmas i got the full snap knitting needle set . Was able to clear out at that time a ton of knitting needles i didn't use or want with that addition.
And this last winter i got out a tiny quilt i had begun the yr before when i had bought some or most of the fabric for it and tried . But put it down. The house was still way to cluttered for me to do much in that line yet. But this last winter i was able to bring it out work on it feeling relaxed and in an area that was clean and organized. And finish it . Last christmas i finally got it in the mail for my youngest grand daughter. It's pictured here
The design is all in native design and all fabrics are flannel with a wool batting.
So here i sit in the frontroom on this yrs christmas gift my ipad mini .i found this app for it and thought that looks like the blogger i used to use. Omg it is. And I love it. Now i can get back i to blogging which i love too . But life got in the way lol. Ok have a good day
