Handworks Crochet and then Some!

Enjoying one of my favorite presents from Bald Man.. a bolt action .22! Since I've not shot a gun in YEARS this is a perfect gun to start with! Great present!!! Well, we have been really busy this holiday season... not busy cooking, going to parties, shopping, visiting like most people.. but busy packing... having people lined up to work on our land and the double wide... finding people who can build pole barns, chicken coops, rabbit cages... looking for rabbit breeding stock, visiting the lady I want to buy my dairy goats from, researching the best meat chickens... best layers.... reading, reading, reading all about dairy goats and planning our huge garden!!!!! Patiently awaiting seed catalogs in the mail... drawing out garden plots on the property... drawing out plans for the major kitchen remodel (I gotta have a good kitchen!) and so on and so on!!!

The Bald Man gave me this yesterday!!!!! A hand crafted dulcimer!!!!!! Its made out of oak by a man right in Athens, TN.... isn't it beautiful! I have been wanting one every since my mom got one last summer and I saw how easy it is to play. I have always wanted to play a musical instrument... now I will! Thank You Bald Man! I love it! We usually put up a big white tree but this year I was to lazy to put up a big tree.. really to lazy to think of taking down the big tree is more like it! lol! But I love pink trees so this works out good for me. I have some of my fav ornaments on it, including the angel mom made for the top of it. My Bald Man here in one of his Christmas presents I made him.... some red flannel long pj shorts with little teddy bears on them! lol! To Cute!
