Junk Gypsies on HGTV



My friends Amie and Jolie aka "Junk Gypsies" 
will be featured tomorrow night (Sunday) 
on HGTV for their premeire series 
coming next Spring!
If you are an Facebook, 
you can see a sneak peek here

I've worked with them the past several weeks...
sewing behind the scenes,
cooking for the crew
and photographing their beautiful sweet spirits!

So many secrets I can not reveal at this time until the show airs next Spring!

But in the meantime, please tune in 
tomorrow night  to HGTV 
for a teaser premiere
and then next Spring, 
13 more weeks of their 
Hippie-Junky-Gypsy shows
will air...
and maybe get a glimpse of me too!
and Happy Belly!

Texas Holiday!



that just about covers it all...

Spring/summer roses and green grass, 
    Fall pumpkins and 
           Old St Nick...


all in one yard!

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

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?"

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!
