Well, I'm sure you'll all be relieved to hear that Flora is at last in her new home. And as luck would have it, her insurance adjustor found that her home had appreciated significantly and she was actually able to upgrade to a larger place when she got the money from her claim! Lol...here she is getting settled.
As if that wasn't boring enough...I know most of you won't be thrilled even a fraction as much as I am about this stuff, but I'm posting it anyway. Here's the result of my happy birthday!!
Uh huh!! An IRON!!! With a retractable cord! My old iron had a short in the cord--it would only stay hot if the cord was in exactly the right position. Very annoying if you're doing something like piecing a quilt...nothing quite like waiting for the iron to re-heat every time you need to press a little 2 inch seam. So that was happy birthday item #1...here's happy birthday item #2:
Woot woot! It's a Singer serger! Now I can finish my seams as professionally as any you'd see in a store! I'm still figuring out all the knobs and doo-dads on it, but have a couple projects waiting in the wings! Ok, now the most beautiful happy birthday item of all!!
That's fabric. I've drooled over those prints online for months and months, finally picked some up at a little quilt shop Bj let me stop at on my birthday!! They're going into a little throw quilt for me to look at every day. Thank you, Husband for listening to all my extremely un-subtle hints and getting me exactly what I love for my birthday!
"What?", you say, "Where are the babies??!!" Sorry...Flora and I hogged this post. And I realized I haven't taken any pics of the kids this week. Give me a day or 2.
Hope you all are having a wonderful week!
