I turned my computer over the weekend to find AVG wants to update to version 9.
A new added feature is they want to run an optimization scan of my computer. “It will only take a few minutes…”
So this morning, after, 2 days, 5 hours, 23 minutes, 29 seconds I decide to [...]
I’ve been trying to come up with something to give my husband for his Birthday and Christmas. Just this past week, in re-arranging bedrooms, I left a bucket on the floor containing 2″ sash rods. They were sticking out yet pointed with their ends to a cabinet. You know, it’s one of [...]
yet the season when most people stop to think about it is coming upon us. With the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas here, come the thoughts of boughs of holly and cedar, bright red berries and dried flowers. Since the early 90’s, it’s become a given that if you purchase a live wreath and/or [...]
Several years ago, while in the third trimester with our second son, I experienced my first (and last) absessed tooth! Being the chicken that I am, and not wanting the tooth pulled without pain killers, I lived with it until our son was born. Just three weeks later, not able to bear it [...]
You should see Slobo when he talks. His arms are in a state of constant motion with every word and if you’re lucky you’ll get to see him knock something over when he gets really excited about the topic he is discussing.

Mom was telling me tonight about being invited to two baby showers and a wedding this past week. We thought it was funny that so many of these June events were taking place in July. One of the showers was for the new Grandma! Isn’t that a cute idea? So many Grandparents [...]
Think it’s time to rescue the rescue couch?
We bought this couch about 8 years ago from the LaZBoy oops backroom. It has seen alot of bouncing boys, influenza episodes and hairy dogs. It’s amazing how well duck handles being washed over and over and over again in hot water and bleach [...]
With the fall/winter season just around the corner, I’ve been contemplating freshening up Buttercup Mercantile. It needs more organization and an online inventory system would be awesome. With having to do alot of the sewing, marketing and office work for my company – I would surely love to leave the web design in [...]
We’ve been having power brownouts lately. They started a little over a month ago. From around 12:30 am our power has been browning out, sometimes as close as 5 to 10 minutes apart. It goes on until after 3 am. Our neighbor, who is also on our power box, told us [...]
It’s been so hot the last few days that I’ve returned to the computer once again for a little ’summer cleaning’. The kids will be back to homeschooling in 4 weeks so we needed to make more room on the computer for all of us. They now have their own desktop “creation” [...]
My Sweet Darling Husband bought me the domain name, http://www.sewingmemories.com. The address is populating the net as we speak. What a guy! He spoils me rotten!
It would be really nice to use this sight as a memory post where all of us seamstresses and seamsters can post pics and memories that our [...]
