14th Annual Blues Festival

I have been in the sewing room most of the weekend and all day Friday. Some of it spent actually sewing and some of it thinking through what i was going to be sewing.

My friend came by the house with 2 tickets to the Blues Festival. Great opportunity for me to take and break and spend some time with Todd. I actually delivered avon as well.

It was at Hartwood Acres. It took us a while to find it but we were determined.

It's a 3 day festival on the first day if you bought a bag of food for the local food bank you got in free. I heard they had 3 truck loads that night.

There were a lot of people there. But it was not overcrowded. It was a very laid back feeling.

This group is called Homemade Jamz. The young man is 19 and the girl on the drums is 9. They really can play.

The also have a older brother who play the guitar he is 19 and the father play the harmonica.

Joanna Connor Band.

I really enjoy this a lot. It started getting crowded when it was time the the Headline TajMahal to come on stage. This was a lot of fun and just what we needed that night.

Thanks so much S and J.

My discovery!

As a little girl I did not play with dolls, did not play house. I climbed trees and explored how things worked. Tried to make my bike do things it was not meant to do. My mother complain when I was a toddler she would dress me in frilly dresses to play and I would prompty find mud or dirt. My mother and father had a loving relationship but I really did not see my father much. He worked the night shift. I had a close relationship with my mother. She taught me to crochet and make clothes. She kept a beautiful home and was a great cook. I felt that my father did not appreciate her enough so I decided that I would not get married and deal with someone who did not appreciate me. When my mother died it totally crippled my father. I realized just how much he appreciated her. When she first died he would just sit in a chair and just stare for hours. Finally I started talking to him and he revealed just how much he needed her. Then I decided that I should not get married because I wou...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS DRESS!

I was inspired by this blog SEW MUCH FABRIC, SEW LITTLE TIME. She is using her fabric stash to create a basic wardrobe. I just love all the T’s and skirts that she has made, so I have decided to work on doing the same. But first (no I am not putting it off) I have to finish this dress that is making me angry. I had a wonderful tropical print fabric which would have been the perfect summer dress. I kept the fabric for several summers and did nothing with it. I finally decided the make a dress; unfortunately it was not a summer dress. Well it is a summer dress but its not the perfect summer dress. I have decided to go back to not making decision when I am on my cycle. (ironic, huh!) Granted when you have not had a cycle for two months the PMS that usually sounds the warning bell is not so loud. Never make decision to cut your hair(I'm wearing a wig her name is Oprah) or use perfect summer fabric on a non summer dress. So my project is to redo this dress and create the perfect su...
