Close Call...

I stepped to the screen door of the back porch with my camera to take a few pictures of the incessant rain and just as I clicked this shot of the shop roof.... ka boom...!!! lightening... right beside me! The hair on my arms stood up and the back of my neck tingled... ooowwweee... You talk about a quick retreat! lol It probably would have been funny to watch and I have to laugh now when I think about it, but it wasn't much fun at the time... That's the first time that has ever happened to me. I've never been that close to lightening before and don't think I want to repeat the experience...

I did some sewing yesterday for Hannah. Still have a few more things to make, but the little fabric book and bird that was finished yesterday turned out really cute... Have a look...

Did You Ever Have One of Those Days......

Yesterday I talked about some fabric that I picked up at Jo Anne's a couple of days ago to make me some clothes for the upcoming LRRP Ranger Reunion. Welllllll..... yesterday was just one of those days... When I shortened the pattern to make capri pants, I also did not get my cut correct and now these would fit my daughter...lol They hang beautifully when I have them on... it's just the getting them on...lol And the bad thing is that I cut the taupe ones at the same time and in the same way. Anyway, I will pick up some more fabric today and try again....

And Patti... I have read at least one book since I changed that photo...lol This one by James Patterson is one of my favorites and I have read it at least twice before, but am reading it again.

Let's Sew!

A couple of days ago DH and I went to coffee and then made a side trip (across the street..lol) to Jo Ann's. I picked up some really pretty fabric to make 2 sets of capri pants and tops.

The colors don't show up very well in the pic, but I think they will be very pretty. And I sure need some clothes for the LRRP Ranger Reunion in August. Sooo... I have spent most of the morning clearing a spot in my workroom so I can get to the sewing machine. I have my "try out the pattern" pair finished except for the hemming and have cut out the other two pair of pants. Can't wait to finish these!

And Patti... this is just for you. I had a bad day yesterday with some serious fatigue that lasted all day. Sat in my chair and spent lots of time laying on the sofa. Today... way much better. Appt. with gastrointerologist is next week.
