| 17 May: This was a visitor behind our house today. He stayed for several hours - someone told us he may have been laying around waiting for unlucky squirrels. It was a great opportunity to get some photos - he didn't seem bothered at all and even seemed to pose. |  |
| 30 Mar: One of my first quilting tasks has been to design and piece a flannel quilt for the guest bedroom. I decided while I was at it to make cushions with the leftover flannel from the quilt top. I have all the tops done now (and almost all basted) and will start quilting this week. |  |
| 15 Mar: I just had to take this photo of our back yard. Lots of trees like in England, but they are all pine trees. And of course snow like we never saw in England. We are up on the Palmer Divide in Colorado, and if you know about that you know that we get a bit of snow. I'm getting reaccustomed to it because we got almost no snow the entire 10 years we spent in England (although I think they got as much this year after we left as we had gotten the entire time we were there). |  |
| 27 Feb: Whew this has been a busy month! I don't know where the time goes. I have spent time painting some of the rooms in the house and have finally gotten the quilt studio set up. I'm looking forward to getting back to quilting in earnest. It seems like we are getting snow every few days, so snow shoveling has become a large part of my exercise plan. For those interested in my newest book, I now have copies and can ship them to US addresses for $28.95 including shipping. You can email me, or pay via Paypal using the susan@susantaylorpropst.com email address. |  |
| 30 Jan: I apologize for not updating this page recently, but I have a good excuse. In November we found out that we were going to relocate back to the states. And we only had three weeks to move! That's not a lot of time for a domestic move, but it's very short for an overseas move. Still, we flew back to Colorado on Dec 5 and Charlie (the dog) arrived the same day. We were able to enjoy Christmas with our son (who had a much shorter trip from Wyoming) and my mother-in-law. After giving ourselves a few days to adjust to the altitude, we began looking for a home. One of the criteria was to have an area for a quilting studio. We found a house in a nice location in north Colorado Springs. Then began the process of moving in our things. Some of our things had been in storage while we were in England, and some we shipped through the post, some were shipped by air, and most were shipped by sea. We finally have everything in the house, and the quilts have all arrived intact, which is a huge relief. We still have boxes to unpack, but the house is finally starting to feel like our home. I haven't had time for quilting since we've been here, although I have been able to get to a few quilt shops. My husband said I was trying to replace my stash, but I really didn't buy that much. I miss the friends I had in England, but it is nice to be back home. | |
