Wow! So much to look at! We visited Graceland today, the home of Elvis Presley. We first toured the house, so interesting but surprisingly normal! For all his flashy stage wear his home was modest (considering all the millions he had!). I wondered why he bought this property when he probably could have built anything… Continue reading Greetings from Graceland!
Greetings from Paducah!
Yesterday we packed up the dog and sent him off to a friend's house, put the cat in her private kitty condo at Paradise 4 Paws and headed south towards Memphis. We are on an All American road trip to visit my Aunt and Uncle, Cousins and 2nd cousins this Thanksgiving but instead of just… Continue reading Greetings from Paducah!
Here’s what’s next — McCalls M6209 Poncho
Readers, here is what's next on the sewing machine. The symbol that says 1 Hour intrigues me although I know full well that NOTHING is made in an hour. Heck, it takes that long just to find fabric! Or just CUT OUT the pattern pieces and then the fabric...hmph. Anywhoo...I did cut out View A… Continue reading Here’s what’s next — McCalls M6209 Poncho
Bob even had his own tombstone for Halloween
I know Halloween happened a few weeks ago but I haven't been able to get some photos off of our cameras and onto the computer for a while because we've used ALL the room on the hard drive! I hate when that happens! So I've been moving files over to an external hard drive and… Continue reading Bob even had his own tombstone for Halloween
Mr. Einstein at 7 Months — The power struggle
Einstein was 7 months old on the 5th. Every month we have to send a report to CCI and on my last report I had put in that Einstein will bark at me without any good reason. I kept thinking there must be a reason why he's barking at me, right? I mean, do dogs… Continue reading Mr. Einstein at 7 Months — The power struggle
It’s Official, I’m an award winning Chili Artist

Burda Plus Fashion Magazine 02-2008 Shirred Top
This is number two of what I hope will be a total of 5 of these tops. This is a super great wardrobe builder for me. I finished this up last night and was able to get a few quick shots of me in it before the sun goes down! Despite it being really shear… Continue reading Burda Plus Fashion Magazine 02-2008 Shirred Top
McCalls M5633 Cargo Pants – Finish
They are done! I finished these a week ago Sunday but just now was able to take some pictures of me in them. I guess the next logical step is to write a pattern review of these over at Patternreview.com, no? I've never done a review so maybe I'll take some time and put one… Continue reading McCalls M5633 Cargo Pants – Finish
Next Up is this Burda TNT – Burda Plus 2008 #104
I've only made this top once before but I really like it. I was at Hancock Fabrics over the weekend and couldn't help myself from picking up some of these ridiculously cheap poly knits. They were on sale almost 50% off of their regularly reduced prices so each one of these 1 and 3/8" cuts… Continue reading Next Up is this Burda TNT – Burda Plus 2008 #104
Cargo Pant update report
I worked all week on fine tuning my cargo pants. I kept at the crotch area and finally got it to a point I could live with. I even got out the Katherine Hepburn muslin to compare and was surprised to see a very good similarity between the two. I drafted the waistband facing pieces… Continue reading Cargo Pant update report
