Saturday yoyos and Betty Boop

My kids are watching a marathon of Betty Boop CD videos today and working on our yoyo quilt. I think more watching is happening than sewing. Not all of them sew equally well, but for this type of quilt the 7-year-old's stitches will work just fine. The oldest is smirking because she was supposed to be sewing more than watching TV and knows she just got caught in the last photo.

Can you tell it is Saturday? They went to sleep with wet hair, and now they look like little street urchins, at least their hair does!

Help job wanted from home

Hello I am still looking for a job I can do from home. True, I currently have a job being a florist and will continue to do so as long as needed, but I'm just wondering if there are people out there who need a pattern tester. I can do that. I sew and crochet and tat and do other hand work; if you know of someone who is in need of a pattern tester, please refer me to them and them to me. Thanks!

Valentine from Anna Marie Horner

So a few years back Anna had this limited edition valentine heart garland on her blog. I was the first one to order one. Now, being a person with to many projects, I set it aside to do later. Somehow over those two years the ribbon has managed to leave the package, but the fabric and instructions are still there so I decided today that I needed to pull this out so I can try and finish this or something else might go missing from the package. I don't know if you can read it in the photo, but the postmark is 2007 so better late than never.

A Hair Cut sorta

This isn't much of a hair cut, but since I haven't cut my hair in about 15 years, it is for me. I have trimmed it in that time, but now I have bangs again, so what do you think? I know, too late to change it back now; I'm just curious. I felt like I was starting to look old and I didn't like it. So I went back to the hair cut I had 15 years ago when my husband and I got married. I know, not much different at all. The photo on the left was three months ago, the photo on the right is today.
