The Belfry Studio

We've been here for a little over a month now,  Still looking for a place to plant our roots!   We have a line on a rental and hopefully, as soon as the Colorado house sells, we'll be able to buy a place we fell in love with!   Here a a few of the pictures we took along the way up here!Are we there yet?

Welcome to Alberta, Canada!

Don't Mess with the Beavers in Beaverlodge, ALBERTA

Well, we made it!  I know I promised to blog along the way, but  internet wasn't always accessible and by the end of the day, we were very tired.  We made the trip in 7 days!  A lot was a blur.  Took lots of pictures, but don't have internet on my own computer yet, so it'll be a while for the photos.

We saw lots of wildlife, caribou, bears, moose,  and sheep.  Herds of buffalo roam wild in Canada. 

Now that we are here, we still need to get our own place, going to look at a house tomorrow.

We will finally be leaving in 4 days, I can't wait.  Started packing the car today, and it's not as roomy as I thought.  If we didn't need clothes,  I'd have more room for my fiber stuff.   guess they'll get mailed.  I think the Post Office should make a stamp in our honor,  as much money as we've spend mailing!  Next project is cleaning, yuck!  Not my favorite part of moving!

Taking tomorrow off to go to Spinday, and say goodbye to my good friends.   Then it's back to the grind.  

Our internet will be shut off tomorrow but, I will post our adventures whenever we stop for the night, and if there is WIFI.  

The Belfry Studio Store will be Closed until June 30, 2010

We are moving north to Alaska and will be closed during our trip.  We will be driving and will be taking a casual trip there.  It's a 3000 mile trip and we are making it our vacation.  I will be blogging here and on Facebook and giving updates on Twitter .  Hope to see you there.  I will let you all know when we get there and are open for business.

Thank you for your patience and for your interest in The Belfry Studio

Yahoo!  The packing is finally getting close to finished.  I have boxes for storage, boxes for mailing and not a whole lot left .  I'm sure I'm just feeling optimistic today, and there is stuff lurking everywhere, but gotta go with the postive vibes!   Maybe it's just the sunny day! 

I just entered giveaway at http://www.frugaliciousmommy.com/2010/05/uprintingcom-postcard-giveaway.html

Check it out!

San Juan Weavers Guild gave demostrations at the Annual Sheep Dog Trials in Hotchkiss, Colorado.  The public was very interested in the carding, weaving, and spinning demonstrations. 

The dogs were incredible!  It's amazing to watch the sheep being herded around the fields and through posts and into pens.  It's a great  way to spend a day.

It seems like packing is a never ending task, but I am finally seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel.  Now to figure out how to get it stored and the rest packed in the car. 

Every year, the SJWG has a yard (in door)  sale to pass on some of our stash to each other.   This year was outstanding!  So much stuff...system overload!

We bought a new car for our trip North!  Now we can take all the pets and of course a lot of my fiber projects!   I've already figured out how to squeeze in as much as possible!

Here's a picture of the new ride!
