Hey! I'm starting to worry and wonder what the heck am I going to do with my trailer. I've had way too much time to think about it waiting for the weather to warm up so I can start painting the inside. A neighbor has offered to frame in the bed area and I think I'll take him up on the offer. Gracie's man, Gary, said he'd do the framing too, but he has enough to do keeping up with Gracie's projects! LOL! I've made a couple more pillows and have discovered that I'm not very good at it. Please do not look too closely at the following pictures!



And here are updated pictures of Frasier and Paris!



Ta Ta For Now!

OK! Here is my first sewing project in approximately 41 years.


I want to make more pillows and also learn how to make an apron. Shocking, eh?

Back in the late 60's and early 70's I was pretty handy with a sewing machine. I haven't done any sewing since. Well....yesterday Grace gave me a refresher course. I really had a great time! I have even purchased fabric to make pillows for Primarily Me, aka Ginger. I even found my husband's old 1975 Singer in the basement. However, the part that the foot attaches to is broken. I have been to 2 difference places and have come to the conclusion that it will be At Least $70 to get the machine serviced and repaired. Sew.....today I went out and bought a brand new Singer Tradition sewing machine.

Bottom line is that I don't even know myself anymore :-) Camping, sewing, and thrifting? Really?

I have found some really cute things for Primarily Me the past few days. I'm not ready to take and post pictures so that will have to wait :-) I will share that one of the things is a paint by number picture. It is for an intermediate painter, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it.

The HUGE news is that I am going to Sister Grace's house tomorrow for a refresher lesson on using the sewing machine. No....Sister Grace is not a nun. LOL! I have my fabric, thread, and sewing machine ready to go!
