Monday, Monday, can't trust that day...

Ah what a weekend... Hubby broke a tooth late Friday night, came down with a cold, and the dentist office was closed for the weekend... Saturday we took the Janome 6600 up to Nashua, hubby was still not feeling well, so we did a very quick turn around and came back home... Went food/stuff for the house shopping on the way home and purchased the tax software to start the annual "bitch & moan" session. Oh joy, oh rapture :) Then a wonderful dinner at Mom's with friends of my sister up visiting, as well as my daughter, brother, SIL, and a niece. It was fun, company was great, and I am glad hubby took a 3 hour nap before we went over. 


Sunday I spent a bit of time going over my 2011 photos and blog posting. I got to thinking that it is a good idea to look back on past projects because then you know how much your style has improved, changed, or stayed the same. I look at this blog as one big project - a visual diary of my/our lives here and my sewing/quilting and looking for a life and work balance. As well as looking for work to support my sewing/quilting habit... I am very happy with my growth on so many fronts... hoping this translates into growth in finding a position soon. 

Now I am off to work on my table of projects... if the cat lets me get close to my hand sewing...

As you can tell... I have taken over the Dining Room with my sewing... need to take time to weed this all out... Tux  jumped up on my lap as I started to do the hand sewing, not anything new, just that hubby had the camera in hand to take a picture. As you can tell, he does this often.


Thanks for stopping by, Ciao for now :)

Sometimes it's not even my Life that gets in the way...

I was supposed to be in a class all day today and tomorrow... Got up early, jumped in the shower, etc... we where out the door and on our way before 7:45 am. Class was supposed to start at 8:30 am. Climb the (steep) steps only to find that the class had been rescheduled to start either next week or the 1st Saturday in December.

Great! Now I need to look at my schedule and see if I can figure out what I can switch around. Not a happy camper about now...

The funny part is that I turned off my phone before getting out of the car... I just checked it and I missed a few calls... I'll be calling back shortly!

So instead we went to:     and

Oh, yea we went shopping... Costco was for major items, BJ's for stuff that Costco does not carry, and Legacyplace Mall to drive around and see what there are for shops. We did stop so that I could pick up a pair shoes at the Merrell store...

I tried on these:  But they just didn't feel comfortable. Then I looked and tried on these: and these where the ones that I like. They are so comfortable! Of course I am still wearing a pair of sandals... yes, I am being pulled into winter kicking and yelling... Not happy about the cold weather. But we are due for some warm weather this week, so that will be wonderful. :)



I have been working on my latest project, yes, I will show another shot of what it is...

Sew I have been sewing up a storm today! Yes, these are two different Bali Pops, there are only four strips that where repeats, so I will be working this up different than the others that I have done.


I was going to post pictures... but after looking for more than a half hour, I can't find them. Guess you all will have to wait for this project to be finished. :)


On another note, Tuxedo is doing much better today, it took over 18 hours after I picked him up yesterday for him to feel/act like himself. The "happy shot" really packed a punch and he was not himself until late this morning. I had to watch him that he did not go down the stairs or outside as he did not have control of his balance. He was sorta tilting, poor thing. He even looks like he's not with it in this picture.

Off to sew :)

Thanks for joining me, hope you brought your coffee...
Ciao for now :)
