Every year, beginning December First,

"Virgin a Day" for twelve days.

Will you consider joining us?

So many Marys, Virgins and Saints surround us...

exotic, edgy, campy, irreverent, irresistible,

unusual, joyful, rapturous, lovely,

glorious, ordinary, astounding~ Rebecca Brooks

Sew and Sew

All my scattering moments are taken up with my needle

 Apart from yoga, meditation, reading, 

it has to be one of the most serene things to do

Sewing mends the soul  

~Author Unknown~

In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until 

you can thread a sewing machine while it's running

~Jeff Bezos~

 

My granddaughter came to spend a few weeks with me, 

and I decided to teach her to sew.  

After I had gone through a lengthy explanation 

of how to thread the machine, 

she stepped back, put her hands on her hips, 

and said in disbelief, 

"You mean you can do all that, 

but you can't play my Game Boy?"  

~Author Unknown~

After a few weeks of secret sewing projects for 

the Junk Gypsy HGTV series

(which will premiere in next Spring

and run for 13 weeks)

my cup is full of sewing satisfaction!

Pink Party

My friend Wendy Hartfelder from Seattle hosted a Mary Kay Party here in Round Top, and because I succumbed to the pressure I showed up and  against my stubborn will, I decided not to be closed. After-all, I am a Free Spirit, right? This unshaven, crunchy country girl went G-L-A-M....and I gotta admit...I kinda loved it!!

even Matt decided to join in the fun..

he is completely comfortable with his Pink side!

OK. So I never, ever wear make-up....

     but dammit Wendy, I just MIGHT go there on occasion....

but don't even ask me to drive a Pink Cadillac and sell skin products...don't even go there!!   

     (xoxoxoxo, love ya Wendy!!)

CAKE!

and we ate cake all weekend...

Happy Birthday Matt

I love him so......

 his birthday many Moons ago in Isla Mujeres, Mexico

seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago
