Right Eye

circa 1984

Greetings all!! I'm still recovering from the cataract surgery and doing a bit more spring cleaning. I ran across this photo of my teaching years in Teague, TX. Those were great years and I made some wonderful friends.

This apron was one of the give-aways.

The other weekend I was busy at our local community center with our 2nd Annual Little Taste of Butler.  The food was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed themselves.  One of these days I'll get back to sewing but at the moment I'm having a blast with life in general.  Hope your "spring" is going well.

Spring Cleaning

Still no photos.
I just realized that Spring has sprung!! So for the first time in a very long time, I've decided to time the cleaning and getting rid of stuff with at event.

I've armed myself with plenty of cleaning supplies such as sponges, dust cloths, a couple of buckets, a mop, broom, vacuum, trash bags, strong liquid cleansers, protective gloves, a mask, etc.  I'll hit the living room first, then front bedroom, next the bathroom, another bedroom, a couple of other rooms and finally the kitchen......not looking forward to that area because I know I'll have to throw away some of my old pots and pans which I really love but they have seen their better days.

When Mr. Cowboy discovered what I was planning, he made a B-line for the great outdoors and said he'd be sleeping at the cow barn for the duration.....LOL!!!
I could see this coming long before he knew what I was about to do.....sigh!

Is anyone else planning to do some Spring cleaning? I'd love to know how you go about it.

Patterns.....Anyone?

So, I was cleaning out and straightening some boxes in my sewing studio when I ran across one filled with patterns that, at the time I purchased them, I had great intentions of making.  You know how that goes. They get misplaced or pushed to the back or stuffed in a box.  I have loads of them......LOL....Anyway, I've decided that it will never happen that I'm going to make any or these.....so they're up for grabs.  Just leave a comment stating your interest and on June 1st, I'll draw a name or do the random thingy and someone will be the proud owner of these great items.
