We decided to get out and have some fun rummaging around antique stores yesterday. This beautiful gem caught my eye. She was labeled simply “Primitive Spinning Wheel” with a price tag of 125.00. With money tight, I ran my hand around it, and continued window shopping. Unbeknownst to me, Slobo [...]

YEP – They are a seamstresses best friend!

I’ve spent most of this week, doing teach schtuff preparing for this coming school year. While I was working on the classroom, the kids were in the back of the basement perfecting their Texas Hold ‘Em strategies. It was too cute to pass up the opportunity for another picture! They were [...]
So, what do you do when it rains in Georgia?
Why go Puddle Jumping of course……….
…. and if you get stuck you just get a little help from your friend.
I don’t think Stitches knew what he was getting into when he joined this family, do you?
Schwinggggggg!
I wish you puddles to jump, too!

Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic because our town has recently undergone a population explosion, from 2k to over 4k in 5 years, but I thought it would be fun to give a little history of the building row where my lovely Consew came from.
The nearest town to us, where this street is located, [...]
I’ll bet it felt something like this….

Merriam-Webster has a new visual dictionary. Okay, new to me. It was introduced to the public in November of 2007.
You can look for a word from their index of themes and see a picture of it’s use. It is really neat! Now I know what a pipe threader [...]
So, I get up from the computer, check the kids to see how they are before starting to cook, and I find that awful fungus, riga-boredom-mortus has set in! Oh No!
Reason #3: Will try to watch TV upside down while bent backwards over an ottoman (note to self – prepare for child [...]
Slobo sent me the link to get a Simpson Avatar…. lol. Think this program knew more about me than I did!
Yep, this is me. Pleasantly plump, para-menopausal, graying hair, and I heart my mom! And, the crossed arms serve two purposes, holds the maters up and hides ma belly, Don’tcha Thank?

Tomato and Green Chile Salsa
(Watch out for those horny tomatoes)
Yes, we wrestled the traffic, the bugs, and the boiling 50 lb. pots and now have….. drumroll
11 3/4 pints of Salsa
4 lbs. frozen Kentucky Wonder Beans
and 9 quarts of Tomato Ketchup
Yes, it is the Weekend Canning Update…. Nothing as exciting as Miss Sodapop’s weekend, but [...]
Working out in the garden today revealed all kinds of nasty things coming up along with my veggies.
The Tomatoes are having problems now due to the drought earlier in the season. Wilt, Blossom End Rot, and Cat’s Face are rearing their ugly heads on a few. One bush in particular was hit pretty [...]
I had to take a break from knitting the shapely T and use some other muscles. So, I decided the new truck needed some seatbelt cozies. Color matched! These work up really fast which helps the – ‘I need a finished project like right now!’ syndrome.
Crochet hook size: H
Yarn: 1 skein [...]
I Love You!

Our new family blog, Glissent, will give the kids a chance to explore their burgeoning writing and artistic abilities, not to mention the silly jokes they come up with.
Now that J1 has turned 9, he comes up with at least 5 new jokes a day, like:
“What do you call someone who never agrees [...]
We went to Amicalola Falls for a surprise day trip, as you can see, the kids had a wonderful time as did Mom and Dad. Normally, I try to not post pictures of the kids, but I just couldn’t help it. That sweet face! He was so beautifully relaxed.
Not long [...]
While we’ve been away – we have been busy. Here are pics of the latest project: Name by our oldest son, Fort Hoochenu. The whole playhouse cost about 600.00. (Including farm fencing that we still have to put up to keep the dogs out of the future garden.) It is [...]
This is a new hangtag I’ve been working on…. based on a hand litho from 20 years ago.

This link came across on fitsnobs (group on yahoo). Thought ya’ll might like to see it too.
“It takes 12 minutes and 50 seconds to manufacture a couple of pairs of jeans” according to this site. And I wonder why I can’t get my products cut, sewn, pressed and shipped in less than 24 [...]
I’ve been playing with pattern drafting again – mainly just in my head and reading for now.
I’m trying to understand how blocks are drafted and why. Please understand – I’m a total novice to all of this…. this is just for play…and probably has more to do with my being visual.
