Anyway...here's my new post</span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Well I guess it has been a year!<br />I don't know how I let so much time get away from me...so this is going to be a LONG ONE!!!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">For those of you who saw my foot surgery it was one year ago today. Foot/toes are doing much better but I still get some pain - doctor said for this kind of surgery I will have healing for quite some time internally.</span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">For those who have kept up with my posts over the years know that we had our dream home (a dream for us anyway) but a few months ago after some lighthearted talk we decided to sell. We are getting older and taking care of that much home is tiring and after awhile things need to be done and we just didn't want to put more money into it. We did the big things like roof, furnace, even updated the electrical box and had the house wired for a generator. All the big things were kept up with.<br />The other small things were starting to add up.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">So one day in September I said 'we are selling' and it took off from there and was listed the middle of October and sold the middle of November and we moved December 15th to a much smaller place. A 2 bedroom open concept condo. Boy did we downsize!!!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">But from the moment we moved in we felt at home and comfortable. Less upkeep and Doug doesn't have to worry about things breaking and needing to be fixed and the big thing...no snow blowing/shoveling snow or mowing a double sized corner lot.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">We will however move again come summer. We needed a place to live when it sold so this place was just built, nice and brand new so we took it and the plus was that we could<br />do a 6 month lease. It's in a little town 9 miles up the highway from our town.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">We are waiting for a new condo to be finished being built and we will move back to our town for a final move. It's not ideal to move twice in a year but we so want to be back in Burlington....this condo is built and managed by a corporation and it seems you have ton jump through hoops to get results (although we haven't had any problems yet) whereas the new ones being built are local and we know the builder/owner somewhat so that's a bones.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">So you are probably wondering where we put all our furniture....we rented a 10x40 storage unit (very close to the new condos being built that we will be going to)<br />and believe me it sounds big but it's almost full.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">When I packed up our things at the house I kept out just basics to use/live with and packed up the rest for storage. As it turns out we find that we need just those things...<br />we need so little to live on.<br />All of our pictures/framed art is in our sons basement where it won't be effected by extreme temperatures.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Now and then we have had to go to the unit for one thing or another but nothing big.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">We didn't put the upholstered furniture or the wood dining chairs there because of fear of moisture so they are here with us. We are fortunate to not need the second bedroom<br />as a bedroom so the extra things went in there.<br />And, we didn't bring much at all for décor - it's all still boxed up in the spare room or in storage. We couldn't see having to pack it all back up again in 6-7 months</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7UugkguTQd9K-xkjHxljr56i9uBBcnkOLU0wk33VydEWLnBJ_TjwvaG5b6r2rcJ-8yf8-JPx1B2NWDr3s2Gu5TDOiG1znmYyv5JrZx2cpRtBQsNpNGbw_xnHStwPctSAQB5KxPyThx-H9Sl6SZVGQOrK-docCxABU0qAEcDnBb0Q1M_XicpvcEPmNofg/s409/Condo%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="280" data-original-width="409" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7UugkguTQd9K-xkjHxljr56i9uBBcnkOLU0wk33VydEWLnBJ_TjwvaG5b6r2rcJ-8yf8-JPx1B2NWDr3s2Gu5TDOiG1znmYyv5JrZx2cpRtBQsNpNGbw_xnHStwPctSAQB5KxPyThx-H9Sl6SZVGQOrK-docCxABU0qAEcDnBb0Q1M_XicpvcEPmNofg/w640-h438/Condo%201.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This condo is an upper on an end and we have a wonderful view<br />(<i>we chose it for this reason</i>).<br />We love activity and seeing things happen. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl92kDNEAym3W-e50-t4P92s1o19ZYSjt2oRxAqp3zf_oNdhwSRsbeAlS5RiBGQJKhGE8hBeptr7wHriFkk584iD2mpxqFea321bsoZu_AcZDg4bObNwAFDKpiNwlho3wUiPtqTZXQYHe4Yj9L4jWMx7oCP791MtGto2vDNo-m5PEifkurJn8ohku5XRg/s4032/0113241044.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1894" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl92kDNEAym3W-e50-t4P92s1o19ZYSjt2oRxAqp3zf_oNdhwSRsbeAlS5RiBGQJKhGE8hBeptr7wHriFkk584iD2mpxqFea321bsoZu_AcZDg4bObNwAFDKpiNwlho3wUiPtqTZXQYHe4Yj9L4jWMx7oCP791MtGto2vDNo-m5PEifkurJn8ohku5XRg/w640-h300/0113241044.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5N-nrguNeGf0FNqpdXk06-F9eVfKTCVF4zrLWLd98FAHlF03_5FCCoLFURdW8DRSf-nyzokgYB125FX9ZqesS_Nn_niEKuC1Qcx-Sb_gpu0BGPNlZ8HiG7JMxQRdpP3mgLOPRNVUPKUG-XGebd6dwktMM3sEHO1s7bdMAaiOPFTYVMiwqgGeOE3SzeYU/s3732/0111240740a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1186" data-original-width="3732" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5N-nrguNeGf0FNqpdXk06-F9eVfKTCVF4zrLWLd98FAHlF03_5FCCoLFURdW8DRSf-nyzokgYB125FX9ZqesS_Nn_niEKuC1Qcx-Sb_gpu0BGPNlZ8HiG7JMxQRdpP3mgLOPRNVUPKUG-XGebd6dwktMM3sEHO1s7bdMAaiOPFTYVMiwqgGeOE3SzeYU/w640-h204/0111240740a.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div></div></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">There's a natural pond and retention pond that wraps around the front and<br />side of the complex.

font-size: medium;">OH YES....FALL, been a long time coming!!!<br />I'm not one of those warm weather fans, anyone who knows me knows this. Fall could come and STAY!<span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I have news about my business - I FINALLY decided to stop doing shows. It's just getting way to hard to do the set up and take down. A show off property is hard enough but when it's in your home it really takes a whole lot of effort. This is the first year we asked for help taking furniture and things out and shop displays and products up from the basement. When it gets to that point then it's time to stop what is taking you down. But once the decision was made I felt a relief come over me.<br />I LOVE doing the show, making the products and seeing my wonderful faithful generous customers - oh my customers....they were so surprised at this revaluation but so agreed.<br /><br />But that being said, YES, I will still make things as I go along. Just when I feel like it...sell it...move on to something else. I want to concentrate on making more of my Civil War era penny rugs and designing punch needle (they have taken a back seat lately). SO ONWARD I WILL GO and happy about it.<br /><br />We are trying now to get a vacation in the books. Nothing big, nothing fancy - just go someplace we've put off for quite awhile. Thinking it might be the New England states. It makes us feel so comfortable going that route, seeing nature, antique shops, prim shops...oh what fun is ahead!!!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This past Saturday was our last show. We had a fantastic turnout and the weather was perfect Fall weather!!!<br />Looking at the pictures they aren't that great and it looks like stuff just put anywhere but in person it worked!!!<br />We had things in the family room, den, kitchen, bath and dining room and all the garlands and dried items were in our E-Z UP tent. Plus some of the garden items were by the courtyard.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The pictures were taken right after finishing setup - then it was tweaking time...move this here and that there. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;

The basement is FINISHED...the laundry room the last of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We painted the walls and floors, put in a couple cupboards/counter and Doug put up a hanging rack for me. It certainly isn't a fancy laundry room but from what it was for years it is good enough for me.</div>

After the basement project we tackled the outside...normally we get loads of mulch but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it needs to be taken care of right away and so this year with no help from the boys we bought bags of mulch and it worked out great...we didn't have to worry about the weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But first we bought a new tree for the end of the house to replace a large bush that outlived itself.</div>

This week I started on the dining room getting the walls painted below the chair rail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept the same color as all the trim because I like it and because I didn't want </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to paint ALL THAT TRIM a different color....then I started the stenciling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm loving it and I like that I decided to put it just along the openings and not in the center of the walls.</div>

Anybody going stir crazy yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We aren't - but maybe that's because we have kept ourselves busy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plus we are used to being together all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel for the poor parents that have their children home 24/7 these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sure hope between the children's school work and free time that they are all getting along.<br />
Hopefully it will bring families closer together.<br />

Hello there friends...yes, it has been TWO months since I've been on but<br />
things have been rather busy around here lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We decided to put a new floor in our kitchen so that was a fun process for awhile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so lucky to have our daughter in-laws brother who is an installer put it in for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to take the large pantry cupboard out because it was way too heavy to leave in so everything that was in it had to come out and so for a bit over a week when I'd cook or we wanted a snack we had to get it out of plastic bins or on the dining room table and more of what was stored in there was on the counters. That alone was a pleasure to get back to normal.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Three years ago if you remember we had a flood here in our town and our basement was flooded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got the storage area taken care of right away with painting, new wainscot and everything put back in...but the rest of the basement was in a sorry state so a little over a week ago we started</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in on my work space side of the basement</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Glad our basement is roomed off so we didn't have to tackle the entire thing at once).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We still had 4 gallons of that lovely aqua paint left so I started in on it and even getting those ugly dirty yellow walls painted brightened it up alot - even though aqua wasn't my first choice but the paint was a return and we got 5 gallons of it for $5 each - who wouldn't buy it for that for a basement!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well if you are like us one thing leads to another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ Painted walls aqua</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ Painted old brown cupboards white</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ Painted red/green/blue storage cabinets white</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ New counter tops</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ Painted chalkboard with blackboard paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....and then last week I said I can't stand this dirty ugly brown tile floor so Doug laid down a tile floor this week and he did an excellent job (which I knew he would)!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it! Now tomorrow he will put the wood baseboard on.<br />
Then the cupboards can be brought back in and counter on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I love about this space is the large work table that folds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
up against the wall to make more floor space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had a wonderful one here at the Martinsen's - a house full of 16 of us!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The dinner table was out to the longest it will go and a table added to the end -not sure what we'll do if we add any more people to the family...right now we're good. Emily and Joe are in college and the other 3 are still in grade school so I think we are good for a few more years yet.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">with them because it was my first time making them so in the next couple months</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last Thursday we went to our two grandchildren's Christmas program at their church school.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They all did such a wonderful job. Always fun listening to the different grades preform.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This was taken at their house just before the program.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I mentioned in my last post we were honored again</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to be in the COUNTRY SAMPLER magazine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We finally received our copy and were delighted with such a nice write up...Bill Mathews always does such a great job with his camera and his 'eye for detail'...one of a kind. And Pilar Simon the stylist is always so much fun to work with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first pictures are of the photo shoot - they sure do tear up a room just to get one shot!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's so much fun to watch them and see how many shots they do take of one little thing...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">never less than 5-8 shots to get one good one.</span></div>

The end of October Doug and felt we needed a break after building up to the show,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then the show, then outside orders to get out so we took a short road trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First to Colonial Williamsburg. We never get tired of visiting there. Such and interesting place to visit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus we went out to Jamestown Settlement and that in itself is awesome!</div>

We were there over Halloween - while we were eating dinner that evening at the Sheilds Tavern</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the kids were gathering outside for Trick-or-Treating in the village.</div>
The kids started lining up at 5...this is just a smidgen amount of kids that came...it was amazing what CW did for these kids. All dwellings along the main street gave out candy that was furnished by Mars candy. Didn't get good pictures of the hoards of kids..these don't tell near the amount.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They estimated over 600 each evening (and it was for 2 nights).</div>

When we left Annapolis we headed up to Lancaster, PA to a few wholesale shops and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the October wholesale show in Oaks, PA...got lots of HANDMADE goodies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for next years home show to add to our handmades.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got to spend a day and a half with our cousins that live there so that was enjoyable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The colors were very pretty in Lancaster - not as brilliant as we had hoped but still very pretty.</div>

P.S. We were honored again to have our home appear in the upcoming January 2020 issue of Country Sampler. We haven't seen the issue yet but several people have been messaging and emailing telling us they saw it...so sad our issues have not arrived yet. Soon though I hope!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have times like this when $$'s just fly out the door?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well that was us!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our oven decided to stop working and when the service man told us what the part and labor would cost plus what we were paying for this visit we decided to just buy a new one. The cost would have been over $550 total so we just added another $100 and got a fantastic gas range/oven. Always loved white but being we were changing and not sure how long we'll be living here we decided on stainless.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I seriously miss my flat surface for more things than cooking. It was a substitute ironing space when I worked on my projects and a quick go over of some things to wear - it also held all my baking when it came out of the oven, like racks of cookies, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I have to load up the counters with things but that's fine...baking is not high on my list these days anyway (don't need all those sweets!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This particular style # by Samsung had the best consumer rating so that's what we bought. Very high BTU's on the burners so very happy for that and the oven has a 'dehydrator' mode....LOVE THAT. Used it a couple times already. Oh and a 'proofing' setting. LOVE THAT too! There's a griddle that fits over the center one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I forgot to mention - it was just the oven that quit working - broiler still works and the burners...isn't that horrible to have a part cost that much?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I forgot to mention that Doug didn't care for the white microwave so he bought us a new stainless one...glad he did because as you can see by the second picture how unmatched it really did look.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Before we bought the griddle though we went to a flea market specifically to buy our mums - they have the best around and the prices are very reasonable.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We got these quite large ones 3/$40 (<i>$13.33 each, can't beat that price for the size of them</i>)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Time is growing short till the Oct. 5th show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been working non stop making more merchandise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This week it was hand drawn gift tags and leaf/fruit wreaths among other things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our face pumpkins called</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">'The Rejects'</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">were so much fun to make - I made over a dozen a few weeks ago</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and then last week a few more, plus some plain ones.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The ones that don't sell at the show will be posted here and on my</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">business FB page so if you want one speak fast</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">when they are posted because they will go fast.</span></div>
