The Belfry Studio

I am getting settled in my little cabin.  It's a rental, but still haven't sold the Colorado house, so at least, temporarily, I have my own space. 

I am having a hard time as I lost my husband of almost 40 years, in August.  Half of my life is empty.  He , at least, was able to get to Alaska and see his kids and grandkids.

I know he wants me to carry on with our dream, so I am doing my best.   This cabin has a wonderful room upstairs which I am making into my studio.   Hopefully, I will be motivated to be creative once again.

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.:D  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! 

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!

Holy Moly, where does all this stuff come from???  I'm sure it mulitiplies and mutates.  Goodness knows I haven't added to the hoard!   Packing, sorting, mailing and filling the dumpster....that's my life for a while.   Can't wait to get on the road, and head north!

We are finally going to move! ALASKA HERE WE COME! We have decided just to go on and leave, even if the house doesn't sell!!   Our plan is to leave on June 8,  only weeks away!  We want to be with our children and grandchildren.   So in a few weeks,  all orders will be delayed. 

It takes a couple of weeks to drive there.  Just goes to show...never to old

for another adventure.  This is the view from one of my kid's house!

Wil be adding updates and notes on our travels periodically.
