Where,
oh where
has the slacker blogger gone??
I am so sorry I have
not posted anything recently. Life has been nutty- working 2 jobs(sometimes 3)
has really been taxing on this old hag.
I have done a little
bit of sewing the last month. I sewed 2 of these for a friend from my retail
job-

Funny story about
this pattern. My friend, Leslie, got this
pattern from a friend of hers. When she handed me the pattern I giggled. The
pattern designer is a gal I used to work with! She has many patterns published
now and is also an amazing long-armer. SMALL WORLD! Right at this moment Kristy is in Salt Lake
City at Quilt Market selling her wonderful patterns. Here is a link to her
website- and if you are in the Denver area and need a long-armer contact her.
She is wonderful.
I also made this
adorable quilt for a friend’s new grand daughter. It was very fun to make-

I have also sewn
this little quilt top- it went together beautifully and I love the fabrics in
it-

I also finished up a few UFO’s- and we aren’t going to
mention how long they have been UFO’s- I am just glad to get them done!

Well, I am hoping to
have more time to sew now. Tuesday was my last day working retail. I approached
my day job and as we are getting hammered with business asked if they would
like me to work more hours for them and I would quit the other job. So, now I
get to get home every night by 5:30 and only have to work 'til noon on
Saturdays. I am thrilled. I am also taking a bit of a long weekend off for
Memorial Day weekend. I see lots of napping and sewing in the forecast J. And maybe a wiener or
2. Get your minds out of the gutter- I think Bob is finally going to fire up
the gas grill I bought him for father’s day last year and we will get some Ball
Park franks on that baby!
I must say the one
thing I will miss about my retail job is the wonderful staff that I worked
with. You know when you meet someone and almost immediately think “you will be
a friend for the rest of my life and where the hell have you been”? Well, I am
so happy I met Leslie. She reminds me of my dear friend, Penny who lives a
million miles away. Leslie and I connected right from the start- we both have
potty mouths, love Jon Snow (if you don’t know who that is quit reading my blog
right now and go watch Game of Thrones) and Fifty Shades of Grey. She conned me
into making her those damn Bronco purses and some wallets and in return I get
free haircuts. I won’t need to pay for a haircut for at least 10 years LOL. I
will miss seeing her 2 times a week but will keep in touch. Thank God for
texting and Facebook!
I hope to get to blog a bit more- and sew a lot more.
Thank you for not giving up on me-
Court
