Good Morning Girls,
OK, I put on some nail polish to force myself to be still for a bit! I am typing carefully...
Jean - glad to hear the bias binding worked!!! Nice. : ) A week @ Cape May sounds lovely! : ) I've never been there, but everyone remarks about how quaint it is. I hope you have gorgeous weather! Like today!?
Yes, I will be @ Sewing Camp for a week! : ) I have 2 Amy Butler skirt patterns & fabrics set to go, & the Asian purse pattern & fabrics for it as well! I want to make a Funky Monkey pillow case too. : ) Barb showed me an unusual pillow case technique last Summer that I want to actually DO this Summer. Then I can show you guys how to do it too!
I have a load of wash out on the line. Some hand washable sweaters out on a rack drying & a second load of hand washables in the gentle cycle now. This weather is simply TERRIFIC!!!
Yesterday I CLEANED out the potting shed!!! Twice since I've gone in there, & looked around, blinking, like..."I don't recognize this place...?!"
I made my cream of asparagus soup yesterday afternoon, & it's YUM-O!!! This is good weather for it! Tomorrow I'm taking all the fixins' for chili making & taco salad out to my Mom's. I'll make that while Scott is sleeping.
Time to get the stuff out of the washing machine. Hope my nails are dry...?! I want to get into the studio SOON!!!
Piecefully, Pam

Good Evening Ladies,
It's a GORGEOUS evening!!! I could take this weather ALL the time!!! : ) I'm going to make a cup of tea & go into the studio shortly.
How was your day? Any news from Peggy? Has her Dad been moved to Rehab? Does anyone know which one? I'm wishing them the BEST!!!
I hung 3 loads of wash on the line today. I cleaned 3 bathrooms too. I got some stitching in also. ; )
Last night was Game Night here. We lost power with 5 guys in the basement, 2 dogs & 3 boys in the backyard + Tammy & me. It was a little bit crazy... Thank goodness for candles & cool air! One of the backyard boys got a bird bath - literally! He was chasing Jake & Jingle, spun around & smacked right into the bird bath! It flipped over right onto him! He was fUnNy & wet...!
Hope your Summer is FUN & making a big splash! ; )

Hello, girls......how is everyone? Don't you love the new colors and format? I think it looks awesome!. Nice job, Pam. I have run into a problem on Wednesday night. I need a substitute hostess. My brother and his wife are leaving for Ireland on Saturday and we've been trying to get together to look at maps, etc. The only night they have is Wednesday. Sorry....I'll miss y'all. Have fun and hope to see everyone soon. Piece......
Good Afternoon Girls,
How are you today? Did the QuiltPapa's have a nice yesterday? Do anything fun?
It's a beautiful day. : ) I have wash out on the line. And, I'm about to go weed the driveway beds. We've been eating sugar snap peas & lettuce from the garden - YUM! I'm anxious for a warm garden tomato!!!
I had an Oprah "ah ha!!!" moment yesterday while working on my Pennsylvania Pickle Dish project. Praise be!!! I have discovered how the "football" seams are to meet, be pinned & then sewn. It has been a small help! Hooray!!! It's coming along.
I must get my Sewing Camp items ready!!! There's an Amy Butler skirt that I'd really like to make, & I bought the Asian magazine with the origami purse pattern too. I need to select fabrics.
Any thoughts or opinions about the "new" blog? There are some more new links added also. I hope you enjoy...!? ; )
