Score!! Ü

The girls and I went to our favorite thrift store yesterday.I had never rummaged through th patterns before but decided to.I am SO glad I did! I have this thing for vintage patterns. Especially nightwear and aprons. Dont you just love the footed pj's! I am thinking I probably will make those too.Ü




Has anyone made this bag? The pattern is itty bitty bag. Or atleast I think it is. I made it today for an upcoming swap I am in and want to make a few more. BUT I am not twitterpated over the instructions. I am thinking that it is me? I dont know. I would be curious to hear from anyone else that has made it.

My biggest problem is that all the seams are visible from the inside. That is going to have to be changed. I dont like that.I wound up sewing bias tape in to cover them. a HUGE pet peeve of mine. There is a reason I line things. Second I KNOW I must be doing the zipper wrong. UGH. I had to redo it 3 times and still dont understand the way the instructions are written.So that I am going to have to redo also.


Tomorrow I have a quilt to load.A wholecloth baby quilt. Fingers crossed that I dont screw it up!

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w

Ice Road Truckers and a 20

Year old girl.I hadnt told yall becuse I was living in a state of denial. Its my favorite state actually but that is another story. If you had asked me this weekend where my oldest daughter was I would of told you she was driving with the Ice Road truckers. She really was too. Oldest daughter was driving Pilot truck for an oversized load headed to Prudhoe bay. She drove the haul road. A road not many men will even drive. She said she prayed over many of the passes mainly the Attigun Pass but many of the others too. I had to laugh when she called me from Cold foot to tell me excitedly that she had met a couple of the Ice Road truckers as they are there filming. She was able to see a little of the filming too. On the web page for that t.v. show they make a statement that the road to prudhoe is driven by fearless tough men.Lol. They need to add And one 20 year old girl! I am really proud of her. I am such a powder puff and scared to try anything new. I dont know how I was blessed with her
