Quilting...Ironing, Storage and Family.


Good morning, friends...
I hadn't realized the days were passing by, so fast.  Well, let's see...I've been resting.  Just taking the time to re-group.  Larry has his appointment with his urologist on the 13th.  He'll let us know where we go from there.  (bladder cancer, but they got it all).
Ruth Ann, seems to be doing okay.  I'm still staying out of the drama and that's helping me, hugely.  
I can't take fussing...in the meantime, I've been working on setting up a sewing/quilting/embroidery room, in our guest bedroom.  I bought a Baby Lock Aurora sewing machine a few weeks ago and am just now trying to get organized.  Larry bought me a design board ($40 at Lowes...)  It's a 7ft by 48 inches-W styrofoam board.  I just lean it up against the closet doors, hung the cheap flannel lined table cloth on it, flannel side out... and bob's your uncle!  Works great...and not for $150 and up!  I got the tablecloth at Dollar General, $3.50...instant grid lines.


When not in use or company comes, just store it under the bed.


My tester block...It's ugly but it just helps me get the sewing machine up to snuff... and is helping me remember what it feels like to sew, again.  It's been years!



Ironing station...It's on my grandmother's old drop-leaf kitchen table. Circa, early 1900's. 



Found this cordless iron on Amazon...Love it !!!


Command Center...lolol



My sewing machine...sews and embroidery.



I need to figure out more storage options.  This room wasn't intended to be anything else, but a bedroom.






Remember the mini's?




I made black-eyed peas and cornbread...



Samantha and Sloane and Everett...Love their new family photo.


Sloane, through and through!  Lol



So true...


This is too! Lolol


Well, I guess I'll let you get on with your day.  
Thank you for stopping in to check on me...Hope you have a happy and peaceful weekend!  So, until next time...
