Thank you

Today I’ve come to the reluctant realization that I need to accept something I once found hard to believe — that many in the younger generation no longer feel the need or desire to send handwritten thank-you cards for wedding gifts. Sadly, we’re now going on three years without one from our next-door neighbors, and since last December from a former co-worker.

Lisa's photo adventures - stumbled upon this

I always wondered if I took any pictures of my Christmas curtains that I made with firring strips and eye screws with twinkle lights. I DID! I was really excited when I found this picture on an old DVD.

Witness My Own Life

Recently I created a task on my Google calendar that will repeat every week on Tuesday. The task: write something on this blog. I never stared this blog with the intention of others reading it but more for myself to track thoughts, growth, seasons and patterns. So just to be funny I will post my latest pattern, literally a sewing pattern.
This past weekend I sewed this 100% cotton short wrap dress. I made it from quilting fabric. The islands we visit are sometimes 90% humidity and any polyester or nylon mix with cotton will not breathe! I'll take this new dress to Cancun to give it a test run in March.
