June it is

well I like angela's name and I am now calling my juki - june. Well she was the only one to respond.

I saw this quotes and it comes from one of my favorite books, Cold Mountain. Not that I thought the story was beyond outstanding, but because of how well it was written. Just in this quote you can read how he meandered through and you really grasp Rudy and her personality. You see a hillbilly woman with a distrust of the big bad world. Please read this book if you are so inclined. I never saw the movie and never intend to, when I really like a book, I rarely watch the movie. Hollywood cannot get it right.

“there was not one thing in a place like france or new york or charleston that ruby wanted. and little she even needed that she couldn’t make or grow or find on cold mountain. she held a deep distrust of travel. her view was that a world properly put together would yield inhabitants so suited to their lives in their assigned place that they would never need nor wish to travel. folks would, out of utter contentment, choose to stay home, since the failure to do so was patently the root of many ills, current and historic.”

I need to sew a bit, but hopefully later I will put up some pics of Jim's birthday party.

going to try - a poll

I am now going to try and be a faithful blogger, I do not think I have any followers left, but we will see. A little sewing post, I think if i make this blog about my sewing room adventures it might not be quite so boring.

at a later post I might share my attempt at sewing pj pants with flannel, right now it is not working out, and I have three tabs open in my computer and the middle one is labeled: "sewing the crotch" everytime I look at that I crack up.

Here are my weekend sewing goals.

I just made a new and improved design wall in my quilt room, it is a flannel sheet from Target.




Hopefully, this string quilt will become a comforter cover for my bed, I have been having a good think about how to do this, I will let you know how it turns out.



This quilt I started before things got really busy at work so I hope to finish at least the borders by the end of the weekend. I will let you know how far I get.



I know that I do not have any more readers, if I do. This is my sewing machine (I love it!) It is a Juki 98Q. It needs a name...




If there is anyone left out there that reads this silly thing, please help me name my sewing machine.

sadness

Well I guess my American Idol days are over. I simply cannot watch Ellen try and be a judge, she is going to try way to hard to be funny. c'mon folks we all know most of the fun was watching Paula be on drugs and act like a weirdo with Simon.

Pappy said the same thing, so we are in agreement.

just thinking out loud

I want to learn how to knit socks.

My son is getting married in one week.

You know how you do things without a thought and then your husband says 'honey, when you do that it get's on my nerves' and you are like wow I do not even know I did that. Then everytime you do it and he is not around you feel like you are getting away with something?

Pool Day

This picture is suppose to go with the previous post, quite the experiment to figure out if i could post mobile-like with my iPhone. I might just have some fun with this little thing I just figure out. Not that anyone reads this, but it is fun none the less.

Experiment

The clouds earlier scared me, now I think my pool day can begin.

I am trying to figure out if I can post mobile-like. But I think I
lost the picture.

Father's Day

Cape May Point for Father's day was a blast. Margie, Jeanne, Janet, Lily and Lia and I all drove down to the shore for daddy's day. I spent the better part of Friday and Saturday quilting a gift for him.

Here we are with the quilt:
We went for a walk on the beach

collected shell, rocks, driftwood and hung out on the lifeguard stand. It was not great beach weather.


We had a scrumptious dinner that Lynne cooked on the grill and we went on another walk to the circle. The sun look really cool on St Pete's the little catholic church on the circle.





Then we went down to Sunset Beach and it was a beautiful sunset.


I Love you, Dad.
