Hi yu'll,
IT's Jazz Fest time in New Orleans. Managed to get a nice sun burn on my face... wearing make-up so I skipped the sun screen... Definitely a Jazz FEst no-no. We only go one day since it is spendy and I spend our extra cash on making new UFO's. I started three this week!!!
Saw Chris Owens' act by the way... she is a real show-woman but according to wikipedia she is 91... she looks middle aged so I guess she will live to be 140. James Taylor drew a hugh crowd. Pete Fountain is suppose to… Continue

My husband has been playing with material and making his own patterns for a few years. Well, I bit the bullet and gave him a lesson on using my sewing machine... straight stitch and 1/4 in seam allowance. He ran out of bobbin thread and thought he broke the machine. LOL.
