SUPPER CLUB - Wed, May 17th
Posted: Wed May 17, 2023 8:29 am
Good morning,
Today is Norwegian Independence Day and also Autumn and Antonio's first wedding anniversary. They chose May 17th as a way of remembering and honoring Aut's Norwegian dad, Mike, who died when she was only 8. We always celebrated the day, even though in a tongue in cheek way, when he was alive. It's been a big year for them - marriage, baby, moving, and now, moving again by the end of the month.
Yesterday I finished all but the buttons and button holes on that ding dang flannel shirt. I wanted to serge the exposed seams, and ended up spending 2-1/2 hrs cleaning and rethreading my serger. I love/hate that thing. And I'm waiting for my good machine to come home from the hospital to make the buttonholes so for now, the shirt is hanging on a hanger off the cabinet door in my sewing room. Today, after my chiro appt, I'm going to work on OWL for a little bit, then start getting ready for my sister's visit - they arrive Sat. Got some cleaning, shopping, cooking to do before then.
BECCA - I guess you are locked in. I hope your name comes up soon. It took years of nagging but I finally got Mr. Grumpy to pressure wash all our cement surfaces yesterday. The house needs it, too, but I gave up on that a long time ago. It IS a big job.
CAROL - how did the auction go? I know you did your usual fab job with it! This pattern has unusual collar and sleeve placket pieces. And it also did the cuffs in a different way than I'm used to. My sewing training was at a vocational school and was pretty comprehensive, but it was also a pretty long time ago! lol! I don't want to do the third shirt, but I'm thinking maybe I've got my feet under me again and should give it a 'go'.
LORI - Your quilt is a stunner! I love everything about it! And you quilted it yourself on your regular machine?? You are amazing! You've earned a pass on that ugh! salmon dinner you sneaked in there.
JANA - I'm excited for Daniel and family. Truly. What a great time for them all. Is this the first house they've ever purchased? It IS scary! When Mike and I bought our house back in 1976, we were scared to death - even though the payments ($282/mo) were less than our rent!
I don't have any idea what supper will be tonite. I don't want leftovers - We are invited to friends tomorrow and Friday and my sis will be here Saturday. So it might just be grilled cheese sandwiches and a simple salad. We have lots of greens to eat up.
I hope y'all have a better idea than I do!
