I hope you are having a good weekend........
 Here are my projects for the day.............     The binding is ready to sew on.......then I will sit and hand sew it down.....will need to find a couple good movies to watch while I do that.
And the next project is some hand embroidery........                                                                      This is Mitzer, my sewing girl...........she is waiting for me to get busy !!!
And my dear Clarinda.........she is not doing well......she has a very enlarged liver.  We are trying some meds to take down the inflamation.....but....I don't think it is doing much.  She is almost 13 years old.  These are the tough time of having a pet.
Jeff had I had our 28th wedding anniversary this week.... He was busy at an event and I was working... We will have to pick another time to celebrate.  Life gets so busy..... remember to take time and sit and enjoy. 
Time to go sew.........Have a nice day.

June 14th - Flag Day

It's June 14th............Flag Day !!  So........I did put the flag out this morning.  I have the day off.....and had to run errands for most of it.......grrrrrrr.  That is not what I want to do on my day off.      I got my oil changed......so I can drive this weekend.

See that pretty water ?............THAT is where I am going.
Just ME, all by myself, and nobody telling me what to do or where I have to be.  Selfish......maybe, but that is OK.  I think we need to do those things for ourselves.
I have LOTS of projects that I am taking with me to work on.

The darn gophers ate my plants that I bought and was going to plant.........they have never eaten anything in the flower beds.....I didn't know they came across the road....they have plenty of room to live over on the right of way.  So that kinda finished my desire to keep planting and working in the flower beds.  My girlfriend's garden is coming up very nice !!  Need to keep working in that too.......but not for the next few days.  Had rain last night, so it is good for a couple days.

Guess I better keep packing and getting ready.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

a beautiful day in North Dakota

Back to last weekend........we went to the lake !!  That was the first time I had been there this year.  We had a great time with friends who came for the weekend.   Chef Jeff made us great omelets for breakfast Sunday morning.

 All aboard the Jenny Lynn for the trip around the lake to see what is new around the lake.  Gus takes his spot as "captain" and Rollie just wants to get back so he can swim some more.
 Then the little Chi-chi LOVES to ride.........but she needs a blanket to stay warm
 We had a great weekend at the lake............and I can't wait to get back there again.   And now that I have Internet there.........I just may stay there all summer.
This is the little cross-over bag I made for Youth Sewing this month.  It was a fun little project.  I hope the young sewers like it.  I am always looking for ideas for my youth sewing group.  If you see anything that would work please let me know !!....
Back to the sewing room........
Have a great day !!!  It is not noon yet and already 85 degrees here !!
