Full Weekend

Well this weekend was very busy for me. I had two sewing classes. One on Saturday and one on Sunday. I will try to get pictures and post them so you can see. I learned a lot and had lots of fun. However, my machine wouldn't work on Saturday so I had to use one of the stores' machines and on Sunday I used mine but it was still not working right and it just kept messing up. I think I spent more time messing with my machine than actually sewing. So, when I got home I told Fred I was going to buy a new machine this week. He didn't seem to thrilled but I just can't keep using the old one and keep fixing it every two to three inches of sewing either. I guess that means a trip to Salem for me this week. Luckily they are having a sale right now on new machines at Whitlocks. :)
The rest of the weekend was spent with mom, shopping and doing things for her. And, on Sunday afternoon Fred's sister and her boyfriend came down from Aloha. Brian also came out while they were there. Had a good visit. Very loud and lots of laughing. Good for the soul. :)
Gotta run for now.

9/11

I woke up this morning feeling very emotional and thinking about where I was 7 years ago on this day and how/when I found out. I remember sitting there watching it live on TV and feeling so blown away and sad and thinking "I am watching history in the making". I cried thinking of all those lost and all those wondering where their loved ones were and if they were alright. Take a little time out of your day today to pray for those lost, who have lost and all those who have dedicated their lives to protect us.
God Bless

My New Obsession

I'm not sure if it is an "obsession" or not but it sure feels like it. I have become obsessed with Quilting, and Fabric. I think I might be a fabriholic. I can't seem to get away from it, I am constantly wanting to buy more. I am in search of a new sewing machine at the moment. My girls and I had our first "quilt club" class on Saturday and it was a blast. I have two more sewing classes coming up this weekend. I am setting up an area on my front porch (which is all closed in) for the girls and I to have as a sewing room. They are very excited also. I will have to share pictures of our projects as we go.

It has been crazy busy at work lately. We are technically full so it will slow down just a bit. However, I guess we have 2 people leaving Friday that I just found out about. Just in time for the weekend rush. :)

Well, till next time.............

Labor Day Weedend

Well, it was a very busy one. Fred (my husband for those of you who do not know) and I painted the room and renewed the wood floor in Carly's room. That was a lot bigger job than we intended. It went well though. On Monday I had to take the girls school shopping for a few last minute school supplies and a couple outfits and such. That.... took forever. About 5 hours. Oh well, we did have fun and came home with everything they needed, finally. We were a little displaced due to all the things from Carly's bedroom sitting in the living room. So there wasn't much TV or anything else. We (Fred&I) were too pooped. Still feeling better and better each day and the energy and stamina is increasing also. Till next time........
