We're working on craft things: quilting, embroidery, leather working, crochet and bead work. Not only for sale on=line but also as a means to keeping focused on something and our hands busy.
Pictures will be posted soon of some of the stuff.

A mountain of granite
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Mountain
My cousin Chris was up from the Naval station in Florida and we drove over to Stone Mountain to check it out. It was FREEZING up on top of the mountain at 1,648 ft (same as North Fork, CA - go figure). It was cold and windy and pools of water had thick slabs of ice. The views were fantastic. Chris, being young and healthy, hiked up and then ran down. Jackie and I took the tram. Ever feel like a sardine?

Stone Mountain, is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock in Stone Mountain, Georgia,United States. At its summit, the elevation is 1,686 feet (514 m) MSL and 825 feet (251 m) above the surrounding area. Stone Mountain is well-known not only for itsgeology, but also for the enormous bas-relief on its north face, the largest bas-relief in the world.[1] The carving depicts three figures of the Confederate States of America:Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis.
Stone Mountain is more than 5 miles (8.0 km) in circumference at its base, and is surrounded by the Stone Mountain Park. The summit of the mountain can be reached by a walk-up trail on the west side of the mountain only, or by the Skyride aerial tram.

Projects around the House
Most of these have been put on hold. With five weeks in January and our income cut in half, things are a little tight or will be.
Instead of working on the floor we're working on going through the material Mom and Grandma left behind - seeing what's there, what we might like to use and washing all of it. We've found some interesting pieces and found quite a number of things Grandma or Mom had started that we'll tackle.
It's really hard right now.
