I'm Back... And Fresh Sewing Day

Hello, Strangers!

After a fabulous vacation to the beach and returning home to warm weather, it is safe to say that spring fever is in full swing around here. It is a beautiful day here today so I hope to spend much of it outside getting my garden in shape for planting next month. I pretty much neglected it last fall, so there is quite a bit of work to be done. 

I won't bore you with too many details of our trip, but we had a great time despite the cool and windy conditions NW Florida offered us. Even so, it was better than the sleet and freezing temps that were here in Indiana!


Onto the sewing...

  17. Sounds like your vacation was a success. I just found your blog. I nosed around a little on it. Since I live in the same county as you and in a post last year you mentioned how far you had to travel to get to your LQS I wanted to point out there are a couple closer.

    Busy Bees is on the northwest side of Linton. Rilleda Hudson owns it and it is a very nice shop. Her hours are Tues & Wed, 8 to 4, Thurs 8 to 7 and the first two Saturdays of the month, 8 to 2.

    She has a wide variety of fabrics and is quite close to you.


    There is also an Amish woman down at Mongomery - Wagler Quilts and of course, The Stitching Post in Washington.

    Email me if you need directions to any of them.

    Enjoyed reading your blog. I, too, have three boys. I think the oldest is just about your age!

  19. Just in case you think Blogger has been holding out in you, I am currently reading through all your posts from 1 March forward but won't necessarily comment on every one of them; it's good to have a faster internet connection!
