Little Things We Learned This Week

Image
1. Earphone cords need to be moved off the table when you are quilting 2. Earphones will not work and needle will break if you run over said cords. 3. trying to teach a 9 year old to quilt takes LOTS of patience. 4. Just because a stupid human opened a bottle of beer with his belly button does NOT mean its a good idea. 5. When they say Kids DONT try this at home, they really mean 42 year old men. 6. You will cry if you try above stupid human trick. 7. DONT let your 16 year old son watch his father do this because he will think it is cool. 8. So will your nine year old daughter. 9.Saying I told you so is fun for only awhile. 10. I need to be off my diet so I can have a good stiff drink!

My son, who drove me to drink the first few years I started homeschooling, the reason tylenol stock went up took his HQs last month.

Oh where oh where did I go right! I am very happy at the moment if you cant tell.Ü

The Joy Of It All

Today i woke up with stupid head......No Not wonderful Hubby but the flu, altho yes he was there too. My kiddos have always called head colds stupid head. All my grand plans for this weekend RIGHT out the window. Yesterday I stayed in bed all day. Today I did manage to get a few things done. Argh......... I feel a lot better now tho, so watch out! Tomorrow I am back! I did decide it was time to learn how to hand embroider. All my research on machines and I dont even know how to do it by hand. So I started a small project. I do want to say THANK YOU for all the wonderful advice. I am going to wait until we get there and see if I can get help with my pfaff.A class or two. We found THE perfect house! Seriously the perfect absolutely PERFECT house for us! What really bites the big one is that we shouldnt be looking! We havent even sold this one yet. I cant help looking tho. Check this house out! http://mmls.fnismls.com/publink/default.aspx?GUID=95b857fc-7331-43a6-8ddd-67ed7cd31d54&Rep...

OK My Bloggy Friends HELP!

I have a question and need some serious input here. I have just spent a frustrating hour on the computer looking at embroidery machines. I have a Pfaff 7570 with all the embroidery stuff that goes with it. But its the older version and I dont know how to use it. It was bought used. I had thought maybe I should trade it in on a newer model. BUT it has this perfect stitch and I have heard some of the newer Pfaffs are not as accurate as my baby. So I had thought well what if I just purchase an embroidery machine. Not looking for a sewing machine JUST embroidery. Something that I can hook up to the computer to stitch designs. I found a Brother Unit the pe-700ii. Any feedback on this one? Or do you have one you just love? hate? HELP!!!!!

Random Fun Stuff

This is some of the things I have been making this week. Just quikie projects that are fun to make and people love. These all are going to freinds that are headed out of state. Good travel accessories. Covered diaper wipe containers. Great for the car and refillable. Car registration holder.(Killian may be a boy but he likes leopard print with pink zebra!) A Passport holder ( I have made a gazillion of these.So easy!) And a full size tissue holder that will fit on the visor and will flip up when you want to look in the mirror. A garbage container that fits anound the seat. These are part of the kids bags. All the kids bags are different and full of dollar items. Hopefully it will atleast occupy the kiddos for an hour. Little A and I are having a blast finding items to put in the bags. They have gotten so full we cant shut them.makes me wish I were a kid again!

Just for Jan!
