New Wheels

Now one would think that the title would predict that we are getting a new vehicle. Not so!! Why give up a perfectly affordable 28 year old, hotwired to the hilt, built like a tank with a shinny coat??

We are off to PEP BOY for new tires this am. Yes folks after 15 years it is time to say bye bye Michellin's . Soon we will be entering the year of the Futura( actually the only reason is because they were on sale and appropriate for what we need). The good news is that they are not white walls so I don't have to spit and shine the tires!

I will pay a slight fee for tire disposal and say good bye to the foursome. It doesn't seem right not to have a going away party for those old tires.....
Oh well Shopping at my favorite fabric shop should count right??

zumba you , zumba me , zumba 1,2,3

check it out!






Thursday is the day! Day one of zumba class for me, hope I can keep up to those twirling seniors! Stayed tuned, it may be a good laugh. Here is hoping I don't trip anyone and I can feel the beat. Better yet let's burn a few hundred calories!

One more bites the dust

Here is another quilt it is a generous double and can probably be used on a queen sized bed. I managed to mitre the corners. The quilt is a mixture of gold and soft green hues. Hard to believe it is the same pattern as the previous red and gold quilt that I had posted previously further down on the page

Hello Miss Molly

 

Finally Miss Molly has arrived to visit with her old friend I used an 18 gauge wire, wrapped it in roving ( sheeps wool that has been combed)Then applied layers of colored roving to fashion in hues of purple a top, long skirt, a fushia scarf and
a braided belt. I think I should have thought more about her features but she is ancient! She has a mass of curly hair and a beret with a bright gold tuft on it.

Why oh why do you ask? Hmm well it all started when......... I tried to enter a competition of sorts a display of one's work. Apparently I was not talented for the finale and turned away. Little do they know what will appear this year when I smartly label my wares as soft sculptures. And if I am turned away for year two? You don't want to know!!!!


There will be Jane with her crafts and a table boycotting the show while laid out in the parking lot to attract attention of those attending the real show!! Yep I got it nailed this year!

Organized mania

Ben cut a hole into his benchfront. Then added the 2 drawer unit ( a third drawer was taken off and used elsewhere for storage) . Notice that there is a ventilation screen above to aerate the bench!! Now his TV that sits on top of the bench doesn't have to be disturbed. Still the other half of the 5' bench is intact and the top is removable , luckily there are no electronics on that piece to sort through to get into the storage on that side of the bench

Ben must be on a storage detail work project. He has started project #2 now in progress stay tuned

Now all I have to do is iron it !!

I will take this home to assemble on my quilting machine

Purple people eater??
