I can't believe how fast the time goes. I haven't done a blog in over 6 months and I was going to do this weekly, ha ha ha!!! Well, it's been nearly 6 years since we moved to the Lake of the Ozarks..we really like it here, weather is great, area is beautiful, we have found some great groups to join and our jobs have been good, not much to complain about!!!
I am still sewing my upcycled items from wool, sweaters and ties..ties are really fun to work with I have made alot of fun things over the years. The neck pieces are like an ascot, nice to wear easier than a scarf, no moving around etc. And the hats are really cute... I will be doing a class on these neckpieces at our MOFO retreat this March.
As you can tell I still haven't figured out how to place the pictures. Maybe if I did this more often I would figure it out!!
Well, it looks like we'll be making a Hot Springs run soon, Marilyn has found me a 1939 Singer Sewing machine with case and all attachments and instruction book plus it works for a very good deal. Can't wait to see it!!!
My Mom is doing well she will be 96 this summer.. sight, hearing and feeling in her hands are going but she gets around just fine and we manage to eat out most lunches and some dinners. Below is a pillow from Devins birthday party Melissa had made it is so cute and they both look great!!!
Devin turned 5 last year, the kids have moved to North Carolina for their full time residence and come back and forth for their business. Devin is in kindergarten and loves it!!! I missed the party this year as I had both of my knees replaced, tailors knees, funny how that works!!! Guess 50 years of up and down takes it toll. So glad I had that done finally no pain!!!
Dave is working in a grocery store again and likes it alot better than the slaughter house...it's hard to be the cutter when he sees all the things that could be done easier and faster and better but....he doesn't want that responsibility again!!!!
Brandon is still wrenching on boats and still loves it...with all this warm weather they will be on the water very soon!!! Brandon has got his basement cleaned up and looking like a prof workshop, lots easier to work in all organized etc.
And of course our dogs are hanging in there.. Roxy and Cami are elderly both have walking issues and Red will be 11, he's the only one we know is real age...and he's still very active. Red and I are walking about 2 miles each day, feels great!!!
Well,more later Happy Spring to all!
The neck piece below will be the one we will make in the class.
