it's been a while but i started to do some stitching..

i was going to attempt to make some holiday cards. 
it's been a while since i've done that. 


sadly i only have like four actually done.   ... and they don't even take that long to make.  oy vey! 


i missed a few birthdays the past few months as well.

          ho hum.                
someone told me they wanted a card so naturally i started stitching.... 
what else can ya do?

  

all you do to me is talk talk

reading is fun and mental? reading is for the mental?

oooh reading is fundamental!

i actually put books in my library queue. 
i actually rode my bike to the library and picked up two books. 
   i checked them out.
the due date slip says september sixth.
 i panicked                                     
             a little 
because i am a             s - l - o  - w                reader.
i still haven't finished water for elephants or the help. 
and they've both already been turned into movies. talk about not getting it into gear!


last night after riding to said library and getting said books, i started to read one. 
two hundred eighty five pages and i made it to one hundred twenty six. 


i'm not so worried about the september sixth due date anymore.

 this car literally was steve mcqueen's car!

 nice grill (not steve mcqeens car.. a different car now) 

i loved this car. the grey on grey is beautiful... to bad i was too short to really see the interior.

this grill is like a building.

ostrich skin leather interior... 

oooo... ooo...mister kotter

i got sucked in..

i got sucked into looking at other people's blogs... granted it's only been like a half hour since i got home but you can still cover a lot of "ground" in a short amount of time.

i've been thinking about quilting. 
again!

toying with the idea of taking a quick little class with the pdx seamsters. they certainly don't seem as uptight as some people, er the modern domestic ladies.. 
by that i specifically mean, it looks like i could in fact sign up for a quilting class without having a lot of sewing machine knowledge. 
i mean it says "fun and simple intro: quilt as you go" see they aren't telling me that quilting is out of my league. or that i have to accomplish all these other little projects before moving forward. 

i'm i nuts in thinking and believing that i can make a quilt rather "easily"? 


i know it's not super easy but ...


then i was thinking about the up coming ladies "tea" party i'm having. 
i should set up my sewing macine outside and give everyone a few pieces of fabric where we can all design individual blocks that eventually could be sewn together. 
                                    hmm. am i onto something


or is this a ridiculous idea
