FreeCycle...Sorta

A few weeks ago I got a call from Betsy asking me if I needed or would want some fabric.  Are you kidding...free fabric!  YES!!!!  Seems that a friend of a friend had been left TONS of fabric in a friends will (lots of friends here).  She was emailing and talking to friends that she knew that sewed.  I was lucky enough to be one of those friends.

We finally made arrangements to do by to pick up some fabric.  Let me just tell you that it was  like Christmas!  Boxes and boxes and we were on the tail end of the pick-ups.  I came home with two boxes filled to overflowing...flannels, cottons, more flannel....I see lots of pretty gifts under the tree this year.  But, no Tyler there still will be no double wedding ring quilt for you and Sabrina.  I have to many commissioned quilts to do before then.

Thank you Eileen for thinking of me.  Thanks Betsy for dinner and the ride.  Thanks Max for not taking all the fabrics I liked.  (just kidding)

Love It....

I love it when my friends call and say they saw something on the side of the road that they think I would love to put in the yard!  They know me so well.  I got a call from Sharone in Anderson Township the other night and she said that she was driving to Tractor Supply and saw this little bike and a lawn mower at the curb.  The sign said they were for sale.

  So she made a quick turn around and talked to the man.  Not sure if she bargained or just wore him down telling him about all the 'treasures' we have in the yard.  He eventually gave it to her.  The kids and I drove over Monday morning to pick it up.  The yahoos want to ride it so bad but I can see a baskets of flowers on it next spring.  I wonder if the little tree branches would be strong enough to hold it?  Stay tuned!
