My four patch, one patch diversion...


I do not remember why I cut out 108 squares??  But, tonight I now have 54 nine patches and tomorrow I will have fun.....
 My dearest Milito always sleeps on the sewing table while I vroom away!!  
Here is another piece of vintage.  I bought this at an estate sale in Coral Gables, Florida in 1980.  At the same estate sale, I bought my dessert plates, Riviera ware....My Milito is disgusted that I put down a plate next to him that is empty!!!  I would never have used these vintage pieces if I had not had a concussion.  I would have hoarded them and loved them.  Now I realize that no one will appreciate them like I do.  No one will remember where I got them and no one will have the same love for them.  And since I heard that you cannot hitch a trailer to the hearse, I am using them now!!  Just using them with great love.....

You are so right about using what you have now!

I inherited some Waterford crystal glasses from my mom and have decided to use them instead of just dragging them out for holidays. The are not in the everyday glasses cupboard (that's where the jelly jars reside) but they are not in boxes now and in a handier place than stored in the garage.

Smart lady, you!

I'm learning as I go through my Mom's stuff that "saving things for "good"" is not smart. So many unused things in her house that she should have enjoyed!
My philosophy now: wear it home from the store!
