Life in Fargo

We have been living here now for just over two months, and life has been settling nicely into routine and activities.

David is still enjoying work a lot, and hopes to tell you about it soon, soon being relative. :) He has also joined the orchestra at church, Bethel E Free. Right now they are working on the Christmas Musical called Christmas in the Red.

David has also been spending a quite a bit of time working on a web page for a friend: Alyssa Jeanne Studios Check it out! He has done a great job with it! It is still under construction…

I’ve been keeping myself busy with a lot of little things here and there. Besides taking care of Bella and walking with her everyday I have been going to church with David Wednesday nights to knit or crochet while David plays trumpet.

scarf

My first knit project finished!! I started it in January or February and picked it up again since I got here. I love the colours.

blanket

I just finished this blanket this morning! My first crochet project in a year or two I think.

On Thursday mornings I bring David to work, then head to church to help make coffee for Women’s Bible Studies. I’ve been going to a class working through The Truth Project I’ve been enjoying it a lot. It gives me a lot of stuff to think about.

I’ve been carving again. This past weekend we went to David’s parents’ for the weekend and I spent a few hours cutting out spoon blanks enough to keep me busy all winter.

I also took a few hours to work on a shawl pin for one of the knitters from Wednesday night.

Shawl pin

I used a piece of goncalo alves wood that I had left over from a spoon. The colour matches the shawl very nicely.

I have a set of spoons finished as of last week too, but have yet to take a photo of them.

A last photo of Bella, from our walk the other day. The weather here has been beautiful! And incase you were curious, and didn’t see my added comment to my last post, Bella DOES like wearing her shirts. When it’s cold out and I give her the option she tried to dive into it! It’s quiet amusing.

Oh, and I forgot to add, the for the next 5 weeks, David and I are attending Dog Obedience classes with Bella at Red River North Obedience.

Bella

Enjoy!
