Wow! Janet is really into this sewing gig! Today, she drove All. The. Way. to Fabricland. This might not seem like all that big of a deal to the average person, but when it comes to cars and driving, Janet is as far from the average driver as a guy can get. She doesn't like driving, so mentally plans out her route, gathers her nerves of steel and heads out in the car that Phil refuses to drive - the Volvo. Doesn't matter where Phil is headed, he MUST take the Leaf.
It all went well. She purchased some pretty ribbon to make a second Tag Blanket and then went to Target, conveniently located next door, and purchased some baby rings.

More on Janet's ancient sewing notions. Check this out:

| The buckles on top were 40 cents for both of them. Apparently at one point in time, Janet was going to make a belt to go around what is now her "formerly known as a waist line". The pattern on the left cost 50 cents and has Janet's maiden name on it. You can't read it, but the pattern on the right has Janet's mothers maiden name hand written on. Unbelievable! |
Bonus! While she was cleaning up the "secret closet" upstairs, where she apparently dumped all sewing goods 25 years ago, look what she found:
 |
| Must be at least 30 years old, Janet says. |
When we woke up this morning, Rockers had on a funny sleeping position. He wouldn't eat his breakfast (bonus for me, Pashy!) and hasn't moved all day. Janet is worried about him. He also wouldn't eat his dinner, so Janet is going to make him some sick puppy food.
I found this fabulous piece of wood outside, but it was all dirty and Janet through it back outside where I couldn't reach it.
More soup success....Cauliflower Soup and Cream of Broccoli. Janet loves making soup!

| Home made croutons, to boot! |
Looks like you're having a good time sewing for Finley. He's a lucky boy! BTW the soups look delicious!
