But alas, it is not mine. *sigh* I hope JoAnn's is close to you because it sure does seem you run there alot. <BR/><BR/>I also liked reading about how you got into sewing.

We loved them. I have never heard of Rascal though. I will have to check that out. We finished The Penderwicks today.Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982755822117772814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18886207.post-1152745808937708822006-07-12T18:10:00.000-05:002006-07-12T18:10:00.000-05:00Cindi, you have been so busy!

It was neat to hear a little more about you in your comment to Tori.<BR/><BR/>I got so tickled about those glasses being in your freezer for years. Funny how we look at stuff every day but stop seeing it. I have stuff like that, too.<BR/><BR/>Still want to get together one of these days. Somehow I seem to be busier now than I was before summer. I'm not sure how that works. lolLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14482723497287290855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18886207.post-1152738462548259812006-07-12T16:07:00.000-05:002006-07-12T16:07:00.000-05:00I suppose you may have already read this but I rec...I suppose you may have already read this but I recommend the seven Narnia books as read-out-loud material. My husband had never read them and so one Winter, we sat down and read them aloud to each other. It was magical. We also read "Rascal", the book about the racoon, aloud and that worked very well too. I read these books as a child so that's why I recommend them but they work well for adults too.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18886207.post-1152728938397154592006-07-12T13:28:00.000-05:002006-07-12T13:28:00.000-05:00Welcome Tori!

I first sewed a jumper because I needed something new to wear. Then I started sewing things here and there, but, never to the extent I do now. When we moved one time we began attending a church with lots of elderly women who sewed. They motivated me and I found it was something I enjoyed. I still have lots to learn. I find that encouragement has spurred on my love of sewing. In real life encouragement is great, but, sometimes hard to find. Blogs have turned out to be such a blessing to a lot of us.<BR/><BR/>Do you mean the purple surprise? I worked on that again this morningCindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982755822117772814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18886207.post-1152682938186633362006-07-12T00:42:00.000-05:002006-07-12T00:42:00.000-05:00Hi, my name is Tori and I'm a lurker! *Ü*No reall...Hi, my name is Tori and I'm a lurker! <B>*Ü*</B><BR/><BR/>No really, I have been coming here and reading for a while, thought I would post. <BR/><BR/>I just recently got into sewing again, not that I ever did more than wading in it. I would love to be a sewer, you know, making clothes and things, as of now I'm just a little wanna be. <BR/><BR/>So did you finish the purple suit thinggy your working on? Would love to see it.Tori Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859488167015452608noreply@blogger.com
