I'm Here To Tell Ya

Think of this as a public service announcement: if I can serve as anything it will be as an example to remind you to check your bobbin level before taking off on a stitching marathon!  I've been there, bought the T-shirt too. 😉  If you're interested in getting a T-shirt like mine, email me, my sweet daughter-in-law creates them for sale. The cute logo on the back neck (below)  is equally compelling. Just think, you can be a walking billboard too... as quilters we need to pass along all the good advice we've learned the hard way, it's our obligation to the future.

How Do You Know...

...that you're in a quilter's home? There are even quilts hanging in the guest bathroom! I cannot express how happy it makes me to have this wallhanging done and installed, I planned this Swiss-themed bathroom when we built our home, in 2001, around it! Wow.

Speaking of bathrooms, we bought new rugs for in front of the vanity in our master bath. I was cutting the tags off this morning and read the attached warning: "this item is flammable, do not expose to, or use over, an open flame." I'm relieved to have read the fine print; there go my plans for a big, roaring, bonfire in there.

Life is Good!

Boys (!?) Will Be Boys

He'd been asked not to throw things in the house, many times. And yet, he continued. He laughed when I scolded him. His aim was accurate, he informed me; and besides, Hannes liked to play fetch! The Christmas tree was taken down and boxed back up for another year. The sofa table reclaimed it's rightful spot and the objets d'art were carefully placed back on top. One precious little figurine had only been there a matter of hours before it was swept off, sent crashing to the floor by way of a "flying" stuffed animal. His aim wasn't accurate this time, but it only takes one time. A quick check of the Internet for a replacement item yielded an shockingly expensive reality check. He won't be throwing things in the house anymore.

Life is Good!
