For an awesome sense of how the world might be, search out Senator Booker's speech at the political convention on 7/25/16. I sat in tears hearing him call us all to greatness, to caring and to love. Despite it being delivered in a political setting, it
Thanks to all for your wonderful birthday greetings. We spent the day with DH waiting out a kidney stone, so not your typical celebratory day. I did get a piece of carrot cake and gifts that were hand-picked for me - Miracle Gro and brownies! My daylili
Susan Hinson, click on your previous posts and replies will appear. Welcome to Cute.
Have been mucking out my clothing closet. What a mess it had gotten into! Everything is mostly sorted out now, and I realized several things. I have some high heels that would be best to donate, as this knee no longer wants the high ones. Two dresses
Vent! I have been in air conditioner h-e-double hockey sticks since we first turned it on in March. The unit on the right side of the house wouldn't work. We called a/c repairman and the 3rd time they repaired it, they said I needed an electrician. El
Have you tested how strong your internet signal is? It's a balmy 70 degrees here, so I've been outside gardening. When I just couldn't dig any more or amend any more, I came inside and got a soft drink and my laptop and went back out to the end of th
Updated at end.We are at the front edge of tonight's bad storms and we are getting huge thunder and rain that sounds like I live UNDER a waterfall! Just finished planting a huge flower bed - well, re-planted - dug up and amended and rearranged. Once ag
Taxes - ugh! Been working on them most of the afternoon and evening and starting to see the end of the work. Just wanted to take a break and catch up on my Cute friends, maybe start in fresh in the morning with the calculator, checking totals! This is
Had a weird thing happen yesterday. Kept having bumpy stitches. Reset bobbin. Replaced bobbin. Rethreaded upper thread. Replaced needle. Replaced bobbin case with my spare! Took apart and cleaned out bobbin case area and auto scissors area and oiled mac
Tuna fish - Cuties in USA have you checked your cans against the latest recalls - both Bumble Bee brand and Chicken of the Sea. Love my tuna!
Last reminder of winter here in Alabama - 36 degrees this morning. So weird, as we have needed air conditioning for about 3 weeks. My dogwood blooms started opening Saturday - perfect timing for Easter. The spring bulbs are over! Daffodils folded the a
I have just come in from the yard and I can't decide whether to crawl into my chair, the shower, or upstairs to my machine. I am so far behind on raking and picking up limbs and prettying up edges for spring with this gimpy knee. I am trying to reclaim
What a pretty site we have today. Just looking at all the quilt and project pictures plus the new alphas and free designs and it's so inspiring. Just makes a body want to design and sew pretty things. (Did I forget to mention all the sweet, caring word
Again, today, I have been reminded I am not in charge and I don't control much of anything, even at my machine. And I'm not as patient as I thought! I saw I was nearing the end of my big cone of black thread and my big cone of white thread, so I deci
Happy Super Bowl - uh, Super Bolt, Day. My favorite quilt shop had its annual blow out sale today, for the wives who want to escape the roar of the television. Sort of a revenge thing. You know, you bet on the game (some DH's), we bet on fabric. I sh
