Where are the ducks?

Three Ducks on a Roof has been very quiet over the last half year and will continue to be so until the fall. For many who have followed and visited my site, you know that I moved east to Ontario in mid-July and I have had some big adjustments to make as a result.

I began my little internet business back in 2004 selling a few lines of fabric and Electric Quilt software. At that time, I was living in small British Columbia coastal village and was looking for a creative way to tide me over the long winter months. Employment in the village always came in the summer months during the tourist season, but in winter the village returned to its year-round inhabitants which numbered about 100. Quiet indeed - just us and the bald eagles chatting to each other in the cedar trees...LOL.


I left the village in December, 2008 and moved down the coast to Sechelt; however, the cost of living balloned and I decided to return east in July, 2010 and am now living in close proximity to my large extended family. But, life is expensive here, too, and I have spent the last five months looking for employment which has been a challenge with an unemployment rate in London of close to 9%. However, at the beginning of March I did find a full-time clerical position and what an adjustment! To be honest, I haven't had the energy at the end of the day to even think about my "little" business.

In the months ahead, I will decide what direction I may head with The Ducks. Although I have no plans to add any new fabrics in the near future (I will follow this post with the reasons why), I still have many of Jo Morton's older fabrics in stock if you just need a 'little bit more' to finish that quilt top you began a few years ago.
