Just About Ready to Give Up....

 Well, here we are half a year later, and I'm still not able to move photos into my blog page. The Carpenter-in-Chief is trying to find time to help me, but all we know at this point, after a visit to a camera store and then a computer geek outfit, is that my new camera will not interact with old photos taken on the older camera. This has something to do with the amount of pixels, I understand. The solution is to move all old photos to a memory stick, delete them from the camera card, and then the current camera card should, once again, be able to interface correctly with the new computer. 

Time is very difficult to come by, as the C-in-C is involved in a lot of volunteer work. When he does have time, other things like a vacation to visit family out west or a dying garden  (we're in a drought) understandably take precedence, along with his increasing volunteer work helping newcomers deal with government paperwork.

The bookbinder's workshop I began last Fall is still being worked on, with a lot of the furnishings and the tools, machinery etc. being well under way or done, but there is no time really to deal with the actual building carcass. I had hoped to have the building ready to accept all the furnishings in six weeks from now, but that is unlikely to happen. 

The wooden shoe workshop needs its lighting done before I can finish that project. Several smaller projects I started to fill in time are also waiting for help, as it's becoming increasingly difficult to source needed materials on the internet (we have no hobby shops here in town!).

In the meantime, our son and his wife moved from Alberta to Nova Scotia, and we have yet to go visit and see their new house. We did visit with our daughters in Alberta, as well as with my brother on Vancouver Island, and while I was out there my youngest daughter gave me a book nook project kit that I'm dying to start on. However, given the backlog of projects currently on my storage shelves, I can't in good conscience start something else before I finish some nearly finished projects....

I'll soon have another birthday, and just hope I can hang around long enough to finish my projects (and that includes my other hobbies, like quilting, sewing and knitting).

I need to find the Fountain of Youth!
