The Deadly Socks

Well today when the postman came he brought the deadly socks. Yes I am now dead from socks. They came from Bette of Ashford CT. What a lovely way to go though socks in my favorite colors and warm to. This was from Sock Wars III. I haven't heard from the person that I made socks for some time ago. She did live across the pond so maybe they got a little behind. I wasn't going to finish but ended finishing them and sending them off two weeks ago.These are really nice Love them Thank You Bette

Well today started out kind of funny but tonight was great. My friend Konnie came over for dinner and sewing.When we went to Portland last week we found this pattern" Friday Night Apron" by Vanilla House Designs. Thought it would be fun to make then serve our other halves dinner in our sexy aprons.Konnie being the lucky one she has no kids at home. I will have to find someone to make mine disappear for a night. Ha Ha We had a great time laughing and talking. I think everyone should have a best friend I'm so very lucky that Konnie is mine. Konnie is calling her apron "French Dish" and I think I will call mine "Body Art". These were very easy and didn't take long made an hour and half. There is only one thing I would change and that would be the halter size it a bit small.

New Fabrics

The smell, the feel, the colors I just LOVE FABRIC.
My friend Konnie and I went to Portland on Friday to the Fabric warehouse to pick up my order of Jinny Beyer 39 bolts. So we just had to take a look around the wear house for other things that needed to jump into the basket.For Fairy Dust Fabrics I bought Summer Fun Fabric Dots and Stripes in pale pink, light purple, powder blue, sunny yellow,and mint green it is stripes with white, dots with white background and white dots on the colored background. What fun we each got a couple new quilting books, a few notions and some fabric that we plan on using for backing but it would be lovely for the top as well.It was a 3 hour drive there and back so there was a whole bunch of laughing going on.

Well It's Graduataion

The big day is coming soon Elliott my 19 year old son is gradating in a couple weeks. Wow! it's hard for me to believe that he is done with this part of his life. Now on with the next chapter Maybe someday he'll be on Top Chief Seattle. He wants to become a chef so we'll see He and I have been through allot. As you can see Elliott is a drawf so we have been through surgeries, hard days, long days. Something about your kids though you would do anything to make their life's easier. That always hasn't been easy around here. And i have tried hard to make as normal as possible. He is a great kid and I love him.

Summer Is Gone

Well summer is gone I thought it might stick around a bit but not. The clouds are back along with the cooler weather. It was 95' on Saturday. Finshed one pair of socks and almost finshed with another pair. I think I will work on a couple other things for now one being this sweater that I am designing so that it will be done soon. I love felting and thought it would be great to have a felted sweater in my colors. Couldn't find a pattern that I really liked so I am making my own.

Garrett

He did the Seattle to Portland bike ride

S is for Shawn sewing all day on Sunday

Yes S is for Shawn Sewing all day on Sunday in the Sun Shine. I have two quilts that need to get done and 55 pirate booty bags that need to be finished. So the plan is to Sew in my Shorts, Short sleeved Shirt, in the Sun Shine, on Sunday I could think of a better way to Spend my Sunday.
Yes the above is an add for my son I would love for him to find a woman that is nice , fun to be around, likes kids, likes being outside, likes sports year around, like to dance and knows how to have a good time. Maybe moving to the Seattle area

This is my Son Garrett he is 24 good looking, in shape,has a good job,knows how to treat a lady like she should be treated. In this photo he has my youngest son on his lap. Just another silly day. Socks have not arrived in the mail yet so I am still alive. Have a great day :)
