This is the whine my friends have been putting up with from me.<br />
<br />
"I just want to wear a sweater!" <br />
<br />
I've probably got more sweaters (and wool blankets, for that mater) than any sensible person living in Texas ought to have. But I'm a sweater girl. Always have been always will be.<br />
<br />
So we've finally been having some cold weather, yeah! People are saying, "Oh, the weather!" and I'm like, "I know! Isn't it great!" When the weather outside is frightful (sing it with me now) I just feel all cozy in a sweater.<br />
<br />
Speaking of cold weather.....over Thanksgiving I was in the mid-west. Was there for my little girl when she finally got her wisdom teeth out. Also got to see a pretty good chunk of my family. Did some black Friday shopping. Where, bonus! I've been vindicated! My family has been giving me a hard time saying that I've been getting in a fight with the clerk at the Target food court for the past 2 years. Well, I ran into another woman who apparently was having the same issue. She was saying to her family, "I come here once a year and that woman just hates me!" We were both happy to know we were not alone, it's the clerk, so there! Just had to get that out there, thanks for indulging me.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to my sweater dilemma.....<br />
While in Minneapolis I went to Unique Thrift where they had rack upon rack upon rack of Christmas sweaters, but I refrained. Meanwhile my sister in law is telling me about the <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=swants" target="_blank">swants</a> her friend made. The what?! So when we get back to her place she shows me the swants they made on facebook. Hilarious! Still I don't think I need another sweater until I get home to Texas and realized our Keno party will have an ugly sweater contest. Argh! But I was determined to win the prize. Just about mission impossible to find a good swants candidate here in Texas.<br />
<br />
Here's me out trying to find one.....<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Um, excuse me ma'am, would you mind if I buy the sweater off your back?! You see, it would be oh so perfect for my swants project?!<br />
<br />
In the end this is me on the right.....in case you couldn't tell.<br />
<br />

Merry Christmas everyone!<br />

<br />
First stop to my sister's in Illinois, to prepare for Gold Rush. Cleaned, tagged, and loaded all kinds of goodies in her horse trailer. Okay fine, we went to an auction too. We loaded a trailer there too but not to worry, it was all for my nephew. So of course, I got to visit with my nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.<br />
<br />
Then on to Oronoco, Minnesota for Gold Rush weekend. I used to live just down the road from this show so it's my all time favorite. <br />
<br />
Actually got the nerve to drive up our old driveway to see what we could see. They changed out the deck my husband build 20 years ago, I guess it's about time, for a beautiful huge one. Would have loved to check out the inside to see if they made some of the improvements I would have like to make if we were still there.<br />
<br />
Two of my sisters did the show with me. I think we had enough fun to try this again, we'll see. Here's our booth with an early shopper the night before the show officially opens.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the way back to Illinois we stopped at one of our bother's houses in Baraboo, Wisconsin, for a late night visit. Thanks to my failing Tom Tom navigation and a dead cell phone and Wisconsin's love of round abouts, I almost didn't make it!<br />
<br />
Then I had a nice visit at my Mom's in Upper Michigan. Also seeing an other nephew and uncle. My mom's side of the family had a mini family reunion in Green Bay. Mini meaning it was just for the 'local' Kalishek's. So I guess I was a crasher. But I did see some relatives I haven't seen in a very, very long time.<br />
<br />My youngest sister didn't do Gold Rush with us so I stopped to visit with her a couple days in Wisconsin, too. Her young boys just crack me up. And of course we squeezed in a little thrift shopping while we were at it.<br />
<br />
The last 2 weeks were spent in Minneapolis with my little girl. Helping her move into a new apartment. After graduation this spring, her internship turned into a real job so she's staying in Minnesota. The logistics of moving out of one apartment the last of the month and not being able to move into the new one until the next day, toss in the truck rental company not providing as large a vehicle as promised and a new roommates larger than anticipated bed, and did I mention it was move in weekend for college students. Ya, quite the adventure! Thankfully, my sister-in-law lives in town and we had someplace to stay overnight and unload to make 2 loads.<br />
<br />
But here are a couple pictures of the partially decorated new apartment. <br />

<br />
Her color scheme was salmon and gold. She looks happy but exhausted! I brought the headboard from home. It was a prop I'd used in the past. She has an idea to put photos in the windows but first making a mirrored mat on the glass to frame them.<br />
<br />

<br />
Speaking of mirrors.....I bought most of these from home, but it was her idea to do a mirror wall in their dining room. <br />
<br />
Most of my treasures I got on my trip are unpacked and put away, either here or in the storage unit, ha! Here's one of the finds I got for the boy. Hope to see him tomorrow.<br />

<br />I just thought it was an interesting piece and if he doesn't want it I'll put it in our upstairs TV room. I've got some old game boards on the walls up there and this might be fun up there too.<br />
<br />
Nice to be home, sleeping in my own bed again. I always like to count the beds, couches, I sleep on while I'm gone. 9 this trip, ya, good to be home. <br />

<br />
We lived just down the road from Oronoco for 11 years (we've been in TX for 13, omg, time flies!) Gold Rush was a family get together for us, at our house. Some of my brothers and sisters would come with their kids and we'd all have a ball.<br />
<br />
The guys would go golfing, one day they hit 3 golf courses, wt?!<br />
My niece Nikki would babysit the younger kids, now she's a mommy to her own twin baby boys.<br />
<br />
And us girls would go junkin! Oh, we didn't call it 'junking' way back then, we called it 'antiquing' but let's just call it what it is.....lookin' for some good junk!<br />
<br />
The end of the day we'd all get together for dinner on the deck. Maybe take in a Honker's game. One year we planned a big day of canoeing and picnicking on the Zumbro River. Boy o' boy, that was fun!<br />
<br />
Well, the last few years I've been able to visit my family in the mid-west around Gold Rush Day's. Now, isn't that convenient? So here's my itinerary, sort of, Illinois, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Far enough and long enough that I'll need to get my oil changed while on vacation, ha!<br />
<br />
So what I went and did was talk a couple of my sister's into having a booth at Gold Rush. Ya, seemed like a good idea at the time. Not so much once I started packing up all the good junk to sell, ha! Fun can be soooo much work. We did this once before at a sale in Illinois. <b><i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">My Sister's Treasures</span></span></i></b> rides again! <br />
<br />
If you're lucky enough to be heading to Gold Rush as well, stop in and say 'hey'. We'll be in the area they call the Pines, hope we'll have shade in our part! Well, I'd rather have sun than rain. Omg, that's some crazy memories, stomping around in the pouring rain. Good times!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that my little girl has done graduated university, she's decided to stay in Minneapolis. All the more reason to visit the mid-west. Insert happy dance here.<br />

Sorry, that was from a joke last night. But I do feel like I've been
sleeping on the job here. Not going to count the months it's been
since I last posted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And etsy, ya, that's looking like a permanent
vacation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about a New Years resolutions, ha,
February already, let's just say I'm a late bloomer. I really do enjoy
my time here in blogland and etsy so I'd love to get myself back into it
all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't just been sitting here sleeping, I've been up and at 'em, out and about, here and there, </div>

Funny story about my first 'on purpose' blog meet up - when I told the little girl I met with someone from blogland she scolded me, <i>"What?! You don't know who they might be!" </i>Come to find out later, Cassandra kept the information from her mother as well, for the very same reason. Too funny! </div>

Took me a while to get this post together, picture downloading issues again, argh!<br />
But.....</div><div style="text-align: center;">Company's all gone, even the sheets and towels have been washed. Wow, amazing what gets done when you stay home!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My <a href="http://kittyds.blogspot.com/">sister</a> and her husband were here for close to a week. Their visit was overlapped a day with Mr. Wonderful's sister, in town for business.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was fun while it lasted, estate sales, junk shops, bead store, Warrenton and Round Top, eating, drinking, swimming, crafting, redecorating. Didn't mention sleeping, could have used some more of that, ha!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First up a fantastic estate sale, that of a local framer. We bought 10 foot lengths of picture frame molding, a quarter a piece! My sister is good at making her own frames and is framing a print for me. <strike>Best sister ever!</strike> (oops, in case my other sisters read this) Such a sweet sister! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We spent 2 days in Warrenton and Round Top, still had plenty of room in the back of my truck, but we came back with some treasures.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the pendent my sister brought for me to commemorate the occasion.<br />
<br />

I consider my truck to be a mobile storage unit.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Best deal.....a wood box filled with 30+ door knobs, back plates, and lock sets. Woohoo!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fun story that shows how generous junkers are. I'd just walked up to the booth of a gal I know who was just selling her last door knobs. Ooooh, nooo! But never mind. So we stay to chat a bit and the husband of the couple that bought the last of the knobs comes back to tell me there's this box of knob just over here if I'm interested! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Seriously?! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Who does that?! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Junkers, that's who.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the market sign I bought that my sister helped me trim with some corner pieces I bought at Gold Rush in Minnesota last summer.

<div style="text-align: center;">My kids birthdays are fairly close together and right after Christmas, end of December and mid January. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cXFeVK1qAKk/TwW_5fVrNPI/AAAAAAAAB-4/Q1NXb_8z4U8/s1600/DSCN5223.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cXFeVK1qAKk/TwW_5fVrNPI/AAAAAAAAB-4/Q1NXb_8z4U8/s640/DSCN5223.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Picture taken after BD round one</span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> So the little girl is already back in Minnesota, although school doesn't start for a couple more weeks, she's working. Just to make conversation my last night with her this past August I asked if she had thought any about her 21st BD in Dec. Why was I surprised when she already had a plan?! The plan was to go out with some friends here in TX after midnight the day before, then have a family breakfast before catching a flight to MN to spend her BD night with friends there. And that is what she did, ha! In all fairness, you do have to book early to get good air prices. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FYh2GsIuaY0/TwXAFCMfFPI/AAAAAAAAB_E/EpW0Ia6f2m8/s1600/DSCN5222.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FYh2GsIuaY0/TwXAFCMfFPI/AAAAAAAAB_E/EpW0Ia6f2m8/s640/DSCN5222.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Picture taken after picking little girl up from downtown BD round one</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The boy is still in town, thank God for local girlfriends. But school starts for him next week and he'll be off before his BD so we're going to dinner tonight to celebrate. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Presents are always kind of a jumble, they make their lists and we figure out what to give when. This year the boy went to a Packer game as part of his presents. Then only had a few things on his list, including a fry pan and muffin tin! Mr. Excitement is still deciding what he wants for his BD.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So with the hubbub of family visiting, exchanging gifts, and getting ready for the little girl to leave, we found ourselves presentless on BD eve! Apparently that dress was not a BD gift but and exchange for Christmas gift, ugh! Such a bad mommy, off to Target to get a card and CD and what not. But I did make this necklace for the momentous occasion of her 21st birthday.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hosted <b><i style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Halloween Keno</span></i></b> at my house last week so Halloween is pretty much done for me. We don't get many trick or treaters. In fact we don't even answer the door. The puppy goes banana's when the door bell rings and as far as kids walking out on the street, forget about it, it's a bark-a-thon. (I know, we haven't trained her well, but she's almost 77 in dog years, she is what she is.)

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next stop Minneapolis to see the little girl.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then Wausau, Wisconsin to see my little sister and her family.

I finished and posted about these lockers in time for my 1 year Blogiversary, see more where I posted about them <a href="http://zueeuz.blogspot.com/2011/03/project-finished-blogiversary-giveaway.html"><i style="color: #990000;">here</i></a>.<br />

They are in the open family room area, just outside the sewing room.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the closet in my husband's study where I keep my scrap booking supplies.<br />
<br />

Notice I didn't say where I <i style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">do</span></i> my scrap booking. That's because lately it's only been where I <i style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">store</i> the paper supplies I like to buy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwo_XkQiPKvbsqxjdYVYHNpTih_rHZJFNP_cwG0ILC0ZlRJA1L8dSYsx77gb3KeSygBSwXOfe0eWhV4tPAi5EjblYVcD7-pHMy-6O_wwnbiFxz8nb4Y6GrucavFsRpcZyI3mu2sx8sTY3/s1600/DSCN4472.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwo_XkQiPKvbsqxjdYVYHNpTih_rHZJFNP_cwG0ILC0ZlRJA1L8dSYsx77gb3KeSygBSwXOfe0eWhV4tPAi5EjblYVcD7-pHMy-6O_wwnbiFxz8nb4Y6GrucavFsRpcZyI3mu2sx8sTY3/s400/DSCN4472.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I added boards to the depth of one shelf, to make it into a desk. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lXSDcTeDkH59jQ3XwMswR-c5aIJId9KXBX2F1Hk2mexiZyuwa_-JimaHIMNltu_DV570beJ-S3TGJOLxzkhjjhg3uCSgTih7Hmi2ge9uRl-8vVh0WPehj5Ena5sx95pwZWuHRk0FOQF5/s1600/DSCN4474.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lXSDcTeDkH59jQ3XwMswR-c5aIJId9KXBX2F1Hk2mexiZyuwa_-JimaHIMNltu_DV570beJ-S3TGJOLxzkhjjhg3uCSgTih7Hmi2ge9uRl-8vVh0WPehj5Ena5sx95pwZWuHRk0FOQF5/s640/DSCN4474.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br />
It took me a while to find this old step stool chair combo so I could either sit at the desk in the closet or reach the top shelves.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then there is my desk in the laundry room/pantry where I do my jewelry making. <br />
<br />

I recently reorganized this area and posted about it <a href="http://zueeuz.blogspot.com/2011/05/giter-done-or-close-enough.html"><i style="color: #990000;">here</i></a>, if you'd like to see more.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on what I'm doing I might be running between all 3 of these areas, dragging supplies out to the 4' by 10' kitchen island to work on whatever.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, that's Where <i>this</i> Blogger's Creates! Even if all she's creating is a <i style="color: #990000; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">mess!</i><br />
<br />
Thank you <a href="http://mydesertcottage.blogspot.com/"><i style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Karen of My Desert Cottage</span></i></a>, for hosting this shindig! And thank you for taking the time to visit my mess over here. Have fun checking out all the creative spaces, I know I will.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I recently bought an ughly little chandelier at Savers. It was a cheap thing but the crystals were, if not actual crystal, at least glass.

I probably would have suffered in not so silent, silence but we were going on a trip at the end of the week so after a few day my doctor fixed me right up with some anti stomach spasm meds.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Short story long I was feeling good enough by Friday morning to get off the couch and venture out to an estate sale. Ya, I wasn't up to posting but I had energy enough to read emails.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So with my assurance that I could get what I wanted for less than $500 and Mr. Wonderful's blessing, after his "has the thrill of the new living room furniture worn off already?" I was off bright and early to get this.....</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the old set we bought for our first house 25 years ago. I still like the style fine, but the stain, or lack there of, wasn't doing it for me anymore. Mr. Wonderful doesn't like painted furniture (ya, the cupboard is painted black but I do get my way occasionally) and I wasn't up for stripping and staining and hiring it out wouldn't be cheap. So.....a sweet young couple answered our craigslist ad and I hope they enjoy it for as long as we have.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I plan to change out the seat cushions when I find the perfect fabric but in the mean time the fabric is in good condition and even matches the rug. So does Pebbles!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The style is so different from before, I'm having a creative block of what to put on top, but no worries.....yet. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
After running back into Austin, cause I left behind the dang leaves in my excitement, and giving it a quick wipe down with Old English, I was a bit worn out but I had to get packing!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because Mr. Wonderful <strike>spends so much time at work</strike> is so good at what he does he was rewarded and because <strike>I work so hard to spend the money</strike> we don't spend enough time together, spouses (or guest of his choice) were invited. We've been lucky enough to go on a couple these conferences before but the company had stopped hosting them in efforts to trim the budget so we're glad they brought them back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The scuffs are cleaned up and they are displayed in my baby boys room for now. Actually I should run around and take some pictures, the house is clean cause we're expecting company this afternoon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I got a few odds and ends, here's a couple more interesting. I think the holder thingy will come in handy <strike>if </strike>when I try soldering again. And I love the color of this vintage travel journal.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This is the coolest thing I got. I saw it in the sale listing but I wasn't able to go until half price Sunday. Surprisingly it was still there, so I snapped it up first thing!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It's got a nice file size drawer and a little built in tray in the top drawer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyDqUaO1bQ_KQCydcyti2oYFEi4P6z1afM8rdLeiO-XSnuJkKqZ7PoVVjygmmhIfPvMMMwH16_w_P5pbbO9A7Fb6z0kfcMVmYs8Z4eQgSJ7mIQ5ZbS5mPfxFfjPYg8M9m_q3SiLa6fPSRB/s1600/DSCN4274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyDqUaO1bQ_KQCydcyti2oYFEi4P6z1afM8rdLeiO-XSnuJkKqZ7PoVVjygmmhIfPvMMMwH16_w_P5pbbO9A7Fb6z0kfcMVmYs8Z4eQgSJ7mIQ5ZbS5mPfxFfjPYg8M9m_q3SiLa6fPSRB/s400/DSCN4274.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But the coolest feature is that the back is finished nicely so that you could face it into a room.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I tried and tried to work this into my living room when we got our new sofa and chairs delivered this week but I couldn't make it work. It's alot bigger than it appears, 50" wide by 25" deep.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought about selling it on craigslist but I really do love it. I'm just a sucker for french provincial! It's in our bedroom for now.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a great weekend!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
