Here's my Mom Marjorie modeling one of the coats,
doesn't she look fab for 90 years old!!!!!?????
got most of the boxes unpacked and put away,
at least it feels that way, may not look that way!!!!!
We are settled in and machines are plugged in,
I'm SEWING!!!!!
Now I know some folks would have a fit cutting up these old quilts BUT, like I mentioned before, I really don't know who made them or when, they don't fit on any bed I own, they are falling apart and I believe in upcycling so now we can wear them!!! They are fragile and will not wear well but what the hey!!! I think they are kind of fun!!! I used some old pattern that was hanging around, I left off the shirt tales and on the beige one I lost the collar and buttons. And for the button holes I just sewing a narrow rectangle and cut it open. My machines would not do a nice button hole with all that thickness, I assembled the jacket on my industrial machine.
Abbey is sleeping in the laundry room closet, they try to get in the shower with us, it's very unlike any of them to behave this way.
Then they sit and shake and cry, it's been horrible. So this morning while trying to calm one of them the smoke alarm chirped AGAIN!!!and she shook her head and then the light went on!!! I bet the noise hurts their ears, they are trying to hide from the noise. And since these alarms were no doubt put in all at once 3-4 of them were chirping!!! So, all the batteries are out, I tried putting new ones in and chirping increased, they are kind of fancy so they must have to be reset, can't find the directions, they must be here!!!!
So, our nights have been short what with all the dog drama!!! Then today we had some good news, our one dog has become diabetic so we are on insulin. I last purchased the insulin from Costco in Wisconsin and it cost around $80.00 I called Wally World here, they need no prescription and the cost is $24.88, now that's something to chew on. Talk about MARK-UP!!!
I could just scream, I hate supporting Wally World but they got ya but the short hairs!!
Once again thanks for joining me, please share any ideas you have for old quilts and pics.
And Y'all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
