- Have done some sewing but no time to blog
- Leave for 2.5 months in Florida day after tomorrow
- Packing the RV in the driveway and continuing what passes for normal life
- Question
- Should I take UFOs or new stuff to make?
- Some of those UFOs have at least 5,000 miles on them already
- There and back and the sleeves still not in
- Never under estimate the power of a good garment
- True story here
- Last weekend my 88 year old mother was woken up in the middle of the night
- Woman at the door was battered and said the Hell's Angels were after her
- What did my mother do?
- Exactly what any good Christian with not a brain in her head would
- Let her in, called the police, and called the woman's mother
- Her mother would want to know
- All ended well by the time the cruisers left
- Apart from the nearly giving my sisters and I a stroke when we heard this
- Why, why did you do this mom?
- Don't you watch the news?
- "I knew she was not a bad person" said my mother.
- "How could you possible tell that?" I asked
- "She was wearing a good coat," said my mother
- I forgot to ask what the fabric was
- And you wonder where I got it from
- My youngest is still on tour in Peru
- And everyone thinks I wake up at night and can't get back to sleep because of my age
- Actually it's their age
- Big snowstorm forecast for when we drive into Boston and when I was planning to see my kids in NYC
- There would have to be one big pile of snow before I drive past New York without a site visit
- I think they might be afraid of that
- My own grandmother was a Winnipeg snowshoe champ in her day
- If you have ever stood on Portage and seen the police in buffalo coats you know that is no joke
- That woman was riding around in the bus in nylons, a mink coat, zip up overshoes and a plastic rain hat at -50 into her early 90s
- The insulating value of a good tight perm and button earrings
- I have decided to redefine my own style
- That's as far as I've got so far
- Some of the ladies in the sewing guild are brave
- Inspired me to try arty
- First time
- Made Cutting's Easy, ageless and cool pants
- Magnificent instructions
- Not sure that I have not produced what my dad would have called Whoopee pants
- When I slow down enough for pictures you can tell me
- BTW best sewn item of 2015 was a sleeping mask
- Makes the difference between sleeping like a rock and like a skipping stone
- Think of Miss Daisy and I driving down in an RV full of unfinished projects towards the sun
- Will have time then to post of the journey
- Now back to packing
