The New new Boat

 So As you've probably ascertained by now the big boat is gone, no more sail boat, it went to a lovely man who has been sailing and finishing sailboats his entire life. The Temptress is in good hands. Which brings me to the next Boat in question. Yes, you know, Dave can't just sit with NOT having a boat for very long. After all we have made so many wonderful memories enjoying our local waters on boats of the past. So after weeks of ferverent searching he came up with a mid70-S Dixie Craft, 15.5 foot ski boat. The Motor needed work and he picked up the whole shebang for 400.00 an incredible deal. The motor has been fixed, and he is slowly working on the rest. Its good therapy for him, gives him something to focus on other than his parkinsons. Its good to see a little spring in his step again as he works to make it sea worthy. He can't wait to take the kids out to crab island, and troll for mackeral again in the bay. I think its more fun to watch the fireworks from the boat as well on the 4th, so I am not complaining. I decided the boat needs to be named the Dixie Chicken due to the 'dixie craft' reference and that it came to us Kentucky Fried RED. So that's what's up THIS Week in TiedyeKris's World.

Long time no BLOG

Yeah it's been awhile since I blogged. I know. I finally got my house rearranged, and the kids have their own rooms now, I have their old room as my office/studio space, and this side of the house is much much quieter. I enjoy spending time in my room contemplating my creative life. I have decided to try to be creative at SOMETHING every single day. Or at least on the days when i don't have to work a 12 hour shift.....In that spirit I made some bookmarks, see pic. I am also planning on doing some scrapbooking soon of My Cape Cod pics. I have to get them printed out still. I am looking forward to the big estate sale in Crestview this weekend, Gonna go up there and pick up some craft supplies, apparantly the lady was a black belt crafter. Lots of goodies from what I can see in the photos.
I'll try to come back and post pics of whatever I score.
