Hello all...Yesterday was mothers day...The kids made me some beautiful cards...We all went to church... I wore a fuschia dress that i had made to wear for mothers day. I had matching high heeled sandals the matched the dress color perfectly...After church we went out to eat...and i came home and crashed...I was tired from sewing...I will post the dress as soon as I get a chance and also a nice shirt that I made...Oh I almost forgot...WE GOTA NEW PUPPY!!!!About 2 years ago I had to put down my mini schnauzer Nala...Oh what a sad time that was, but she had bladder cancer and there was nothing else that could be done. She had gone from 40 pounds to 17 and we were heartbroken. We said no more dogs, but then about a month ago I got the "dog" itch and my daughter came to me and said, "Ma, I really miss Nala." and started crying...Soooo...long story short I called a couple of breeders and told them I was looking for one and lo and behold a breeder in Lakeland had a litter ready...And just the color I wanted and she was a girl...Seemed meant to be...So after dropping the kiddos off at school on Friday, to Lakeland I went... So I present




Ms. TALLULAH BELLE in all her glory...she is a wheaten color mini schnauzer and sooo cute.. so for now...toodles!!!

Hello all... Today was a great day. My full time job is as a pharmacist. I work 12 hour shifts and every other weekend. Anyway, after working the weekend I have Monday and Tuesday off..On this particular Tuesday my husband asks my parents and I to accompany him to the waterfront restaurant in Tampa called Jacksons...We sat outside overlooking the bay and relaxed and ate...It was great...I just sat there with some of the people I love the most and took in the beauty all around...Yep, It was a great day..

Yesterday, I made my 6 year old daughter a skirt and a dress that I will soon post...Then when I started making a dress for myself I heard it. "It" was an ominous sound coming from my babylock evolve serger...Sounds like the needles are hitting something...Oh well...to the dr. she went...Hopefully I will get it back on Friday so I can finish my dress...I do have a brother pl2100 Serger but i leave that one strictly set up for coverstitch because it is a pain to thread...Boy...I sure miss my jet air threading...Oh well, til Friday...toodles...
