Welcome to my little place in the universe. I'm just an average Jane, got my own little website where I offer digitized embroidery designs... and my group site with a nice number of members.
So why a blog?
You tell me! What's the big deal about blogs? Who cares what a stranger thinks? Who cares what I think?
Well, maybe someone does. Or maybe you just need a smile every now and then.
What's my focus?
SEWING!
MACHINE EMBROIDERY!
TRICKS OF THE TRADE!
and other musings.
What about the Dreaded Netherworld... CLUTTER!
Excuse me while I go gag.
Speaking of clutter. Where does all the space go? When I got this house, I loved how BIG my room was!! Now it's MINISCULE! Okay. I have unfinished projects, lovingly called UFOs... several block of the month sets that I just had to have and I knew that I would certainly finish them. NOT.
You know that darling fabric that shouted out BUY ME!!! Yuh, I bought it and it's sitting there and goodness knows what I'll make with it.
I got this brilliant idea. Go to Goodwill and get jeans to make a rag edge quilt. The day I went, jeans were fifty cents each. I got the 12 largest sizes I could find that were in good shape. I haven't even cut them yet. BUT THEY'RE THERE IF I EVER DECIDE TO.
Now I am to the point where my books are taking over. My friend Cora, who tells it like it is, even ruthlessly.. says "But do you need it?" So I went to half.com and found out that some of the books I was going to get rid of were selling for over $100 each. So nix on that idea, Cora. Then she came up with a really good idea. Make bookshelves under the window. She said her father used those glass cubes for the spacers and boards for the shelves. This is workable. So this is my project. As I look at the area lovingly called "the floor" but in truth is "the books" I can see them all orderly in fancy boxes on my new shelves. First I have to price the glass spacers. I suspect they are not cheap. And so maybe they will be something other than that, but they will be SOMETHING... and I'll actually see my floor again. The good side of this is that the carpet looks like new under those books. Yes!
I'll keep you posted on this project.

Good to see you got your blog going. Now you need to work on your blog, your web site, your UFO's and your new bookshelves. You can do it, I know you can. It just takes some effort and leaving the internet alone. Oh, wait, that's me.
Hey Kathy, Let me look inside and behind my garage... I think I have some of those glass blocks.. Will let you know by the weekend if I do.
Your blog is great..

Love your comments about your cousin, etc. If I weren't so lazy I'd go set up a blog, but I don't have anything to say, so I don't do it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
