Sunday Summary #185
It’s Sunday and I finally get to say the snow is starting to fall! I love how clean, bright and quiet it gets here for the first few snowfalls. Then once we have a good base of snow I get to go outside and hear the laughter of the kids having fun tobogganing on theContinueContinue reading “Sunday Summary #185”

Should I or Shouldn’t I?
I have a dilemma! I have an agreement to buy an item that I’ve dreamed of owning forever: My problem is that it doesn’t have a case. Does anyone know of anyone with a case they might be interested in selling? I use my machines, so this beauty would be going with me to theContinueContinue reading “Should I or Shouldn’t I?”

Sunday Summary #147
It’s been a week! No sewing time at all but I have put in, but I did work 75+ hours! Not bad for an old lady! 😉 None of my numbers changed, or projects were advanced.

Happy Mail Day!
This morning I headed to my Guild to get our last organizing day before our annual fundraiser done. After several hours of sorting yarn and notions, measuring fabric and pricing the lot, we hauled everything out to the shed. The shed is now completely full! We couldn’t fit another shoebox in it! The shed isContinueContinue reading “Happy Mail Day!”
