The countdown has begun


The countdown is on, we are leaving for Florida on Wednesday morning January 30th. We hope to be there by Friday. That's when our reservations begin and we will be there until the end of March. We have a 5th wheel and stay along the way two nights. I have my little Singer Featherweight machine packed and ready to go with lots of fabric, patterns, etc. Hope to do a lot of sewing while I am relaxing. We will also be going on a cruise to the Bahamas with our good friends that live near where we stay. The bad part about going away for two months is we will miss our grandkids. We take care of our 3 year old grandson Andrew alot while his mom is at work, so we are really attached to him. That is his him getting his hair cut by his mom. They will be visiting us in Florida sometime in March.

Longing for warm weather


I am longing for warm weather. I am going to Florida next week and I can't wait for sunshine and warm breezes. I am taking my small featherweight sewing machine so I can sew outside on the picnic table.

Sock Monkey


I have always loved Sock monkeys and I made this one for my grandson.
