So proud of myself. Bought the upgrade hoops and program for the Brother VE2200 and have just completed updating my machine to current version and then upgrading my machine to new hoops, following not the best instructions in the world. It seems to all
Project: Working on straightening out and unzipping my downloads really hard this week, again. I'm in the L's and wow, is Liane Stitch a huge directory. I never seem to make it through before tiring of the project. And I promise myself I will unzip a
3/2/2014 Special Personal Announcement: In early January I spent my Christmas cash from DH on memberships in Cute Embroidery and Amazing Embroidery Designs. I've worked steadily at downloading the hundreds of designs and tonight -TA-ta-da-DAH! -I have c
Just finished wrestling for 7 hours with an Asian tiger (design). He got out of registration and at 20,000 stitches I noticed some major sections were nowhere near touching. Then there was a lot of tearing out while remembering I am a child of God. Want
5/6/2014 Update on the Plant Man. I checked by the store today and AJ went to be with the Lord and was buried on Saturday, May 3. Thanks to all for your prayers for him. The funny part is now that he's gone on, it was taking 3.5 men of normal
1/10/14 Oh my, Cuties. I just felt like going to the thrift store today, even though tomorrow is their big once a month bag sale. Someone had donated a stash of fabric and upholstery cording. For $60, I got 2 40 yard bolts of cotton, still in plastic wr
We can't talk politics on here, but can we talk prayer? Many American Cuties in our group are heartbroken by the events of today. We need prayer for our leaders, our nation, our government, our families, our way of life. And the hardest of all, pray f
Hope for the spring, my foot! We are in full spring. Why am I sitting here DL-ing and reading, when I could be out cleaning out my flower beds as scheduled? Because I have just killed the first snake of spring and decided I needed a break from raking o
Having a "Quiet Day" today per the doctor, after taking a Peter Pan flying leap off the back steps (Brick) into the concrete carport last night. Busted my face open and several other places, but the worst is some muscular issues in the arm I landed on.
Sometime today, whether at computer or sewing machine or at table with loved ones, lift your mug off your mug rug or your glass of wine (no names here) and join me in a Christmas salute (toast) to Miss Veronica and her lovely sites. To join me in the toa
The next adventure at my home in the woods. Well, you all know I have entertained foxes, a teenaged bear and lots of deer including twin babies in my yard, plus mice, scorpions, a nesting squirrel and a baby rattlesnake inside my house. Last night I set
Did a show today that could do me in forever from shows. You ever have one of those? First, they had a play area for the little kids at the far end of the festival with wonderful outdoor toys. The parents wandered off and left the kids there, falling a
Please pray for the people in Lee County, Alabama and into Georgia as they search and begin recovery efforts following devastating tornadoes yesterday. More dead in Lee County than across the USA in last year's tornado season, if I heard it right.
7/25/2014 11,111 flowers today - a good time to play the lottery, if only I did such things! Thanks Sweeties for tending my garden and making it beautiful. Have a lovely evening.
Saying a special prayer that you all (ya'll if you're Southern) will have a lovely, safe, and blessed Easter with your loved ones. May you experience the presence of God with you at table. I'll be singing myself hoarse in 3 services and then taking a
