Happy New Year Everyone!

Brrrr It's cold outside! Supposed to get to single digets by morning with below 0 chill factor! Be sure to dress real warm if you have to go out. My Mini Shop has some new items I'd like you to see.(Click Older Posts, Thur.Oct29th) The Folk Classic Pillowcases with Classic Cars and Folk characters especially. I'm proud of these because I used iron on transfers on plain pillowcases and sewed them and added detail with washable fabric paint! Three items are highlighted at the top that are Folk Classics. I'm going to get some hot chocolate now. Why don't you join me? Hugs Kat

Welcome to my Blog

I'm honored to have you visit my blog. Please feel free to provide your blog info or a site or shop you call your own. I want you share with me too.
The weather was cold but extremely sunny today. Almost painfully bright. After the last gloomy period a welcome change. My hb and I rode around for awhile and commented on the warmth of the sun on us even through the windows. Hb is recuperating from a shoulder surgery. He suffers from Osteo-arthritis and has to have things restitched, so to speak, frequently. He's not one to baby himself though and his doctor has him doing therapy less than a week since the surgery which is fine with him. He was driving yesterday working out how to get in the driver seat and close the door with his right hand and turning pulling his left arm in before the door closed. He had it down today.

Now that the decorations have been put away and the house returned to normal I can go back to my favorite activity,sewing. By hand that is. I have a shop in the den here at home. The tax people say not to get too fancy or the gov. will not give you a write off on your taxes. So I have a card table to work on with a good light and bookshelves on which to store my wares in boxes to keep them clean in plastic bags. And a computer in the family room. That's my set up. What's yours?

I want to visit other blogs so please give me your blog address. I just started mine so it's not anything like some I've seen. But I hope to interact with people with common interests so this works for me.
Well, I guess I'll go read. I also love to read. Real books that is. I tried to keep up with books on line and was really frustrated. I got behind and lost interest. Every night before I go to sleep I get into bed and like a thief read my book of the day voraciousely devouring the words. Till my eyes droop and I put it away till the next time. Take care and leave me a note so I know you've been here. Hugs,Kat
