Snowing in the Southern U.S. It's true we don't handle ice, sleet or snow well. There probably are not 25 snowplows in Alabama (and very little salt) mostly at large city airports. DH and I realized tonight that neither of us knows where to locate ou
New Update below. Back from my vacay. Traded the old knee in this week and back home on day three. So far, so good. Therapist needs my University of Pain Alumni shirt. Day 5- Packed a picnic at kitchen and dragged my leg outside for that healing view o
Onesies - I was told in a recent class that this is a trademarked term (Gerber?) and that we must be careful not to call them that unless it is that brand. Otherwise, it is a "baby bodysuit!" Let's be careful out there in our booths!
11/22/14 Just got my computer back from the "Virus Doctor" (won't call the company's real name) and first thing wanted to log on and catch up with everyone. Well, as I typed graceandham, I got gibberish. Tried again, got different gibberish. That'
The Accidental Embroiderer has a wonderful fish design added recently. Scroll down and be sure you got the older ones, such as the William Morris inspired flower.
Scissors note - I hope Dennis checks in on this entry. I got my latest pair of scissors "free" from the hospital when I had my knee surgery. All they used them for was to cut the "sock" that covered my incision. When I was packing up to go home the
Success!! Just had my second try (since the knee surgery in June) at going over the stairs to stitch all afternoon. Knee did great going up and I made a really cute fall sunflowers corduroy shirt with embroidery pretty much everywhere. Coming down the s
UPDATE: One week since surgery: I still feel worse than just before surgery, so have a ways to go, but I'm in Physical Therapy and being faithful to that. Today I ventured out to my new year of Bible Study. Came home and napped two hours like a two year
Spent five hours today cleaning up the daylily garden, preparing soil and planting 32 clumps of daylilies and I'm beat. It's enough to make you appreciate air conditioning, a soft chair and the luxury of feeding different colors into your machine to cr
Wanted to thank you all for my big flower count. Am going to try to show you a few from my garden.
Noah, where are you? I just checked several pages back in Projects. Okay?
6/2/15 Remodeling - After reading all the bad luck remodels that everyone has done this year, decided to tackle an easy room, well two, for just window treatments, paint and carpet to finally make the rooms mine after being here nearly 9 years. Today was
Kittens everywhere. I am perturbed. Some mother cat has camped out under my back porch with her five kittens - they appear to be about 3 months old, One isblack and the other four orange and all quite fluffy. My sons visited today, and one both fed the
Next Christmas will be different. Have you said that this week? I just now spotted a cute idea on Urban Threads -- okay, I wasn't paying attention -- on how to embroider on your package ribbons. Stash this one away for next time.
Overwhelmed trying to create a new sewing room. I took apart a larger bedroom and stashed it all over the upstairs. Yesterday the crew laid the new carpet. It's beautiful, but I plan to cover it up! Today I have begun hauling in tables and shelves an
