I hate to admit this, but it is kind of pretty out my window this morning. No sunshine but there's a new layer of thick wet snow on all the trees. There's a huge evergreen green right out my little window by my desk that looks like a picture on a Christmas card! But wait, it's March and I really would prefer it melt and be warm and be SPRING!!
Valerie... Sounds like you are making quick progress on DD's quilt. It's for a wedding right? When is the wedding? My DD got married last April and I still haven't even figured out what to make for them!
Lois... A three hour tour? I hope you don't end up stranded on a desert island! As in Gilligan Island?
Suzette.... Oh Dear, so frustrating when a new machine doesn't work right! I took my emb machine in and it's still having a threading issue too. Hope they can fix it up for you quickly, but you do have a spare don't you? I have 3 extra machines here if you need one!
Diane... Do you think your house will sell quickly? I know things have slowed down a bit since the interest rates went up. It's kind of fun to start from scratch building again tho... you probably learned a few things building your current house that you would do again or change completely. In my house I had a window over the kitchen sink.... here I don't and I miss that!
Judi... I vote for Shrimp scampi..... with lots of garlic butter! So healthy right?
I seem to fix myself the same stuff all the time too, cooking for one sucks even tho I try to try different things now and then. My DIL is a great cook and always tries new recipes she finds on line. She's even gotten me to eat spinach!Jana.... You got the dry snow...we got the wet stuff! I could build a snowman in my front yard! Hope you find all the pasta you need tomorrow, every time I look for ring noodles or shell noodles the pasta aisle is empty! Usually I get groceries at Target and last time I was there, a lot of empty shelves, but then it was a Monday after weekend shoppers!
Izzy... Oh my goodness... I looked at the picture of your Farm Girl quilt!!! What a work of Art... All by Hand!!! That will surely be an heirloom. You were on my prayer list as I went to bed last night... sending good thoughts that you have a good day today.
Maryz... Yup, I can picture your room! My sewing room here is the same size as yours... and oh how I miss my spare bedrooms to hold my fabric stash! So sad to hear of Sue's news. Is her Dad still in WA. She's had a lot of sadness lately... Perhaps she will rejoin us when she is ready so we can lift her up!
Velda.. Did you have a management company for your HOA? At my place, it's us homeowners that are the Assoc. and I am the secretary but we have been talking about turning things over to a management company even though we don't want to do that. We have a few cranky homeowners here and in some ways it would be nice to not have to deal with them. But then the Fee goes way up!!
Chriss....In California they charge for bags? Canada does too. I absolutely hate the plastic ones and usually bring my own. My neighbor Katie makes "ugly grocery bags" and even with the ugliest fabric they are really kind of cute... they are shaped like the plastic ones with handles!
Well, I guess I better get in gear... need to make a few phones calls then get the sewing machines up and running!
Y'all have a great day!!!
Vel
