On Vacation
I am on vacation this week, and am having the most relaxing time. I am staying at Sara's house and can pretty much do as I like. I have done a bit of sewing–yesterday I made some napkins for her that are sort of fall themed. Making napkins is really fun for me, and I…

Back to the Trip
A couple of you have asked me how I got my sewing machine to Illinois. Well, I carried it every step of the way. My shoulder STILL is hurting. In the future, I will only do this if I have someone along with me who will do the actual carrying for me. Two men and…

A Little R & R
Here is my Sophie Girl, enjoying her own special version of R&R. She plays hard, and nobody can equal her when it comes to catching a few zzzz's. It's a good thing Welsh Terriers don't shed much. I should make this picture my new blog header. Not. I am going to take off for the…

Life Goes On
Hi there. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. As you may have gathered, things have been kind of lively in my family life, with the health care drama for my MIL, and having to be running 75 miles up and down Highway 101 to tend to things. Happy to relate that things have settled…

Rhinestone Cowgirl Princess
istockphoto Greetings from Nashville. I didn’t think this whole country thing was quite my style, but I have to admit, it is growing on me. Think Rockabilly, line dancing, ribs, big hair, cowboy hats, fringe and rhinestones. Oh my, I can definitely say that it is fun, even if I won’t be adopting the rhinestones…

A Little Bonus
istockphoto Well, here I am in Nashville, getting my training on how to be a fashion consultant for the new company I am going to be respresenting, and having a wonderful time. One teeny little detail that was mentioned, but not really *emphasized* was that there would be Shopping Opportunities. That being the understatement of…
