In which we are settled, and life moves on...

Well, we are moved!  Yes, even (almost) unpacked!  We love the new place, it is SOOO much better than the old.  Can't believe it took this long to do the deed.  We had help from wonderful friends, so it was much less painful than it could have been.  Thank you to all who helped!!  I think we had everything at the new place by 4pm.

Immediately after moving, I had weight loss surgery and was off work for 3 weeks.  That has been another distracting adventure.  Things are settling down now, I can eat a regular (albeit quite small) diet, and I am feeling really good.  Since first meeting with my surgeon in April, I have lost 50 lbs!  I've got a long way to go, but already I am feeling much better and needing smaller clothes.

While I was off, I took my inventory of fiber batts to Knitter's Palette and sold quite a lot of my inventory.  My first retail outlet, yay!  Since then I have had a long dye session and now am busy at the carder putting together some new blends.  I'll post pics as soon as I have some done.

I've booked a campsite for the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival near Madison, WI the weekend of September 10-12, and I'm looking forward to that.  I need to find another wonderful silvery grey fleece.   I love overdyeing grey, and I am almost out of my raw washed fleece from Sue Ross.  Hope I can find one as good.
