So the Hassells are going to Scotland....

So the Hassells are going to Scotland. Who could have predicted that? 

 Mike was asked in January to consider working at Dounreay, Scotland, for a year. Dounreay is the name of the nuclear power site in the northern most part of Scotland.  Being that the kids are all now on their own, it seemed like a fun adventure - and a way for us to travel to many of the places that have been on our bucket list - mainly Italy. Scotland is a great jumping-off place for Europe. 

 So after months of talk and back and forth, things finally started to become official in April. And now the Visas have been applied for, we have had biometrics done (which turns out to be fingerprinting), and the packers are coming next Tuesday. And we will be wheels-up at O-bright-thirty out of Pasco on Wed, May 31. Oh - and the trip was extended to 18 months. Is this really happening???

We are gathering the stuff to take with us and this is the gathering room. Most of it is clothes. Warm clothes. But you can see the sewing/quilting stuff in there, too. Here is another angle....


Away from all the comforts of my own home, my friends and my support system, Mike knew I would need something constructive to do. So, most of my equipment and stash are going with me to Scotland.

Living in Thurso

Image
We have been here in Thurso now for nearly 9 weeks. I still cannot believe that we are actually doing this!  One of my early posts kind of ranted about having so many new  things  to learn here - about having to think about Every. Little. Thing. Things I have taken for granted for 30+ years.  So I thought I would like to post an update.  It’s good.  I have adjusted to and/or have learned the basic things and no longer feel overwhelmed having to think about   Every. Little. Thing. I do small loads of laundry about twice a week. It still takes all day.    this container holds the water that comes out of the clothes! I learned that I have to dump about a gallon's worth of water out of the dryer after a couple of loads. (still too weird!)  I learned that the numbers on the washing machine are in Celcius, which matters. Apparently. So, when I thought I was washing clothes in a cool degrees, turned out it was actually hot water. Thankfully nothing was shrunk. But

There and Back Again - An Unexpected Journey

Image
Outside of Thurso - looking out over the fields, across Dunnet Bay, with Dunnet Head in the background and the Orkney Islands beyond that.  In the movie, “The Hobbit,” Gandolf is trying to convince Bilbo to go on a journey. Bilbo is completely resistant and his response is, “We are plain, quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!” Gandolf goes on to woo Bilbo by saying, “You’ll have a tale or two of your own to tell when you come back. And if you do, you’ll not be the same.” Unlike Bilbo, Mike and I were eager to go on a journey and have an adventure. Like him, we did return with a tale or two. And we are not the same. I am often unaware of how things in my life are strung together until I look back on them.   You know that saying, “Looking back gives you 20/20 vision” ?  That is how I am able to see how God worked through circumstances and experiences to prepare me for my time in Scotland.

The FQQ’s Quilt Exhibition – and Other Quilty Things

Image
It’s hard to believe that an entire year has passed since the last Fat Quarter Quilters’ Quilt Exhibition. I was so hoping to be here again for another one, and I was.  Lucky me! Prepare yourself now for a lot of pictures of quilts. I want to show off my friends' work (and a little of my own). While some of my friends feel that I am a prolific piecer, I have not done a lot of piecing this year by my own standards. Instead, I decided early in the year to focus most of my attention on practicing my free motion skills with Daisy on other people’s quilts. However, that did not mean I didn't make anything ..... Not everything we make are quilts. This is a rug I made.  If you read the post, “Daisy Makes New Friends,” you will have seen a handful of the quilts Daisy and I quilted for others.   After that post, I quilted a few more for friends - mostly FQQs.  I would love to show you close-ups of the quilting on these, but this post is already full enough of pictu
