I am here

I have been busy sewing a few things.  Made some burp rags and washcloths for a baby shower.  I hemmed 7 t-shirts for a friend, took some pants in for myself, and fixed the cuffs on a shirt I got at Goodwill.  Put elastic in.

Was off 4 days but was nice to just chill alittle.  And I had such big plans to accomplish alot!!!

Tonight at our sewing guild--club we made fabric postcards.  Kinda neat.  I have seen them on sites but never tried them.  It was the 3rd meeting for it and I missed the first month.  Kinda interesting.  I took a quilt that my great aunt made in 1936 when she was 16. Sun Bonnett Sue.  She is still alive and then I took a scrap bow tie quilt that my gma hand sewed together and then hand quilted.  The squares are about 2 or 3".

August it is!

Cannot believe that we are to another August!!!

Start of summer brings list of to dos and hopes of getting it done---then it is fall and you see what isn't done!

We have made head way on a few things BUT lots more to go.  Not enough time.  Husband has been retired a couple years now but seems he is busier than before.  I still work.

At this time of year I really do start thinking Christmas more when shopping, the treats to make, games to play and the such.
