strong winds and shades of white

We prepared for Irene

David was kind enough to let me set up camp in the basement,

even though he probably thought I was crazy. 

Hey I am swedish! 

If someone says Hurricane. I'll take cover.

Luckily we could stay safe (and comfortable in our beds).

Only some big broken branches in the yard but no flooding or power outage.

I hope all of you are safe and sound as well.

Last weekend it was snowing upstairs...

...the nasty kind that gets everywhere.

The kind that makes you wonder if you are 

a complete idiot for not covering the floors.

Thew kind that takes hours of mopping 

and scrubbing to get rid of...

This week there was a different shade 

of white on our mind... 

but there can only be one...

and Betsy's linen was the right kind of white!

I can see it starting to come together now.

My work benches are being built this week...

EEEEEK!!

I am so excited!!

Lisa is just tired as usual... 

I have to apologize for missing my 

promised upcoming shop update.

I'm gonna wait until the pieces are done

and then announce a day. 

Right now I have to focus on getting 

our home and my studio set up.

Thank you for being so fabulous!

love ~tess

on the horizon

I don't want to make promises I can't keep.

But without deadlines I seem unable to accomplish anything.

So this Friday will be a day of accountability.

I think...

:o)

video vixen

and there was tears...

We got the photographs.

David and I sat glued to the computer.

Looking at one picture after another.

Quietly

Remembering

Was it only two months ago?

It feels much longer ago than that.

Like a lifetime ago

So much have happened since we said;

I love you

in front of our family and friends.

A move

A carsick kittie

A mohawk

Bangs

and lets not forget the glasses!

And so much more...

We are in such a happy place right now.

I feel happier than I ever have.

There is so much I want to share with you

but I hope you'll forgive me for holding it close

to my chest a little bit longer.

 

Have I told you lately how much you mean to me?

I don't think I've expressed it well enough.

Being so far away from my family and friends

I really appreciate your presence here.

Reading your comments always brings a smile to my face.

Thank you for being here for me

love ~tess
