Messing around with blocks...maybe a baby quilt?
.Thank you Eithne..
My second Little Blue...my favorite travel machine.
(Kenmore 3/4 machine) not made anymore.
"NO" is just not a quilty kind of word.
This one looks like it has not even been used.
Now I have two..at $17,99 for each machine... I could not go wrong.
I love my stuff!
15 inches wide is perfect for this machine.
Grab and share and laugh and collect.
She came again to visit....
Poor Pitiful Pearl
I try to be patient with her because I know that what a grieving person needs most ...is good people to listen without judgement and without advice...a safe place to talk.
So, I have always kindly listened....Pearl has a dead husband, a dead mother, a kid who is a junkie...back out on the streets...Pearl hurts and she has no friends.. The friends she does have do not love her...She is even crazy about Oreos, just like me.
This time was different!!!!
For today is the very last day of my asthma STEROID treatment.
I still have enough of my vim and vinegar left from them....so so so....
I took a step back, using my new bionic arm, I slapped that visitor into kingdom come...
She does not even know what hit her. She sees stars.
I stood up, pridefully brushed myself off and planned a happy vacation for myself.
Actually a stay-cation..I have a four day weekend coming up with no children..
Since my joints will not let me travel far, I am bringing far to me!!
MY GIRL is coming to visit. We split the air fare...
Just Mommy and Me...I cannot wait.
What a life....with joy coming from Portland.

I'm just putting this out there...I love you and I love your blog. As I read it, I admire your humor and insights into life lessons that each of us will be learning, sooner or later. Also, you teach me about the things that I seem to love best lately...quilting, collecting fabric and all things "quilty", the joys of gathering with like-minded women, and most importantly, the significance of reflection, gratitude, and the power of the human spirit. I am a fan of you, dear friend. Have the best time with your girl! (I'm seeing mine for the second time within a month, AMAZING!...and feeling blessed!)
ReplyDeleteWow! I think you covered everything in one blog post! I've been away and thinking about you, but now I feel quite caught up :) I'm so pleased your daughter is coming. Perfect weekend for you. My daughters are so precious to me as well.
ReplyDeleteI second everything Sandee just said!!!
Hugs
Big days!! So wonderful to hear your daughter is coming to visit. I love your blue sewing machine and laughed out loud when you said No is not a quilty kind of word. Take care. keep sewing with friends and loving the little ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip on the roller bag.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the gathering around the table was lots of fun!
Take good care, and savor every mi use of your long weekend.
