I love my sewing machine!!!

I got my sewing machine Tuesday and it's be humming along every scents. I did these for some family and friends in Arizona. Everyone can use a new address book.
These are for my quilt group back in Orchard they are going to have their Christmas party the second Monday of November. I am sending them to my DD Jennie to put on the books for me and wrap them as it cost so much to mall books back and forth. I had the address books in my sewing room and left them for her to take care of for me.
The top one with the L is the only one with a book in it.

My birthday surprise

DD Jennie sent my sewing machine and other sewing things , fabric and my quilt she finished for me for my Birthday the 25 th of this month. what a nice surprise it was in the bottom of the box!!Of coarse I had to bind it before I could use it . But that was just fine I did it last night while watching an old movie with my DA Gladys.
I had the 2 boxes Jennie sent unpacked and the machine was humming all afternoon. I am so happy to have my sewing machine I think you could say it's my best friend. I missed it everyday . The last 2 months have been long ones with out it.

Navarre, FL.

This is the Island on the other side of the bridge from me. It's all Hotels and vacation rentals and a public beach. This is the bridge that takes you to the Island. Navarre bridge.
It was about 8:00 this morning and cool the little sea birds were no moving well yet.

These were all taken from the park by the bridge this morning. It promises to be a nice day.


I go out to breakfast on Sat. mornings. Just for a change from the rest of the week. I leave everyone sleeping and leave between 6:30 and 7:00. I even got to stop at a rummage sale one of the many Churches was having. My big finds were 4 knitted dish cloths and a laundry basket. I spent $1.50.

Randy

This is Randy my D Aunts dog. He is very small and is a real prince or he thinks so. He loves his blue and white pillow . He sits on it and sleeps a lot. He is so very spoiled dog!!

I am back!

Hi all,
I have been off line for some time as of Tuesday I am back on line.
I have been here in Florida for 2 months now and finally starting to get settled.
I have been doing some sewing . I finished 5 quilt tops and sent them to DD Jennie to quilt.
She sends me a care package ever so often with things to work on. All the UFO's I have in my life she has lots to choose from.
I am hoping she gets my sewing machine shipped soon so I can start on Christmas things.
When I first got here I didn't like it at all it was so hot and humid but now it's great! It's in the 70's and the humidity is down . This last week has been just perfect.
Not a bad place to spend the winter!!
