Not dead yet.....

Well, I'm not dead yet even though it seems like I surely must have died as its been so long since I posted anything to my blog!! Never fear, I'm still here!!!

Hopefully life will slow down a bit, get easier (a bit) and allow me to do some of my fun things now that I've retired (YA-HOO) from full time employment (just going to be a part time realtor now, LOL) and bought a home. We are just about to get really really settled in (only 7 ceiling fans left to be installed!) and trying to get down to some sort of normalcy (hey, what is normal anyway?).

I have begun to machine quilt on the sweatshirt remake (yep, same gold/ivory jacket posted here two years ago)....started with the scraps applied with the felting machine and now I'm machine quilting the whole jacket. Worked on it about 3 hours yesterday (the MOST time I've had to play in a year or more) and I'm looking forward to completing it soon.

I just bought a couple of new toys, the Janome PR 6600 and the new (hot off the press) CoverPro 1000 X...won't be shipped to the dealers until November 15th but mine is reserved and they will call me the minute it comes in...Whoopee! As you can see, I plan on having a LOT OF FUN now that I'm retired (ok, semi-retired).

You will be seeing more posts as I move along and into some new areas of adventure.
Yes, adventures of my sewing room...hmmm....provative thought....let me see now... Janome 350E; PR 6600, X-Pressions, QC 4800, CoverPro 1000 X and Compulock....boy, what more could a retired lady want and how much more trouble could I possibly get into than this? LOL!!

See ya soon,

Judy
