Separated at Birth

  Isn't it amazing how similar they are?  They actually are brother and sister (same parents, two different litters).  Just like you and your siblings, unless you are a twin.  Twins would be the same litter, don't you know? Since there has certainly been no sewing going on around here for ages (BIG sigh), I […]

What I Think Is Sexy

Did I get your attention?   Well, I will give you my opinion on that subject in a minute. First of all, I want to say that the comments I received on yesterday's post were incredible.  If you haven't read them all, I recommend that you go back and read every one.  What thoughtful, heartfelt messages […]

Secrets

  I have a good friend who is my best shopping buddy.  We love to talk on the phone about the latest fashion trends, the gorgeous out-of-our-budget purse we are coveting, and the sensational End Of Season Shoe Sale at Macy's.  We talk every week, see each other often, and enjoy seeing one another look […]

Last Days of Summer

  I can feel the end of summer in the air.  Every September, usually just as the kids are returning to school, we have a heat wave.  I remember just having moved to California from Michigan and starting 7th grade at a new junior high.  The first day of school it was 107 degrees.  We […]

Livin’ the Good Life

Sophie and Ozzie have settled in beautifully to life at our house.  It didn't take Sophie long to figure out she could lay claim to the other chair in the family room.  That is Ozzie on the right looking rather regal, and Sophie on the left.  Sometimes they cuddle up together in the same chair, […]

Company Picnic

What a lovely weekend I had.  I invited my entire family over for a Sunday barbeque in my back yard.  Most of them turned up and we had around 20 people.  Is there anything better than having your loved ones over?  I live about 70 miles away from most of the family, so it is […]

Laboring on Labor Day

Happy September everyone!  How can it be nearing the end of summer already?  I loved my summer, and the many days I got to be home sewing.  I have three or four of my quilts at the quilters, but haven't been able to pick them up and pay for them yet.  I hope to get […]

New Gizmo

Have you all discovered this super new gizmo?  It is a bendable intense bright light that you attach to the top of your sewing machine!  You stick the base on the machine, and then insert the light mechanism into it.  You remove it when you pack up your machine, but it fits right back on when […]

How It’s Going

Just a quick update—It is going pretty well with Sophie and Ozzie.  He plays too rough, but they are figuring out the best way to handle things.  When she gets fed up with him, she gives it right back to him.  We have had to separate them a couple of times, but for the most […]
