Jodi,

You wrote on Irene's post: "How could we ever get through all that life has to offer without being able to sit in a quiet spot and take a few stitches. It makes the rest bearable because out of the melee of life something beautiful is created. Something in our hands that we can see and something in our hearts that we can't see but is nevertheless very real."  

WELL SAID!  Very well said.  Thank you.     

I agree, stitching can be a real comfort and at the same time your creating beautiful things.  I'm looking forward to sitting at my machines without having to jump up every 5 minutes to tend to Bud.

And I just read the post under mine and found out that you play the fiddle -- oh how I'd love to hear you....it's some of my favorite music.

Jodi, I took your advice and put Mr. Scarecrow away for a bit.  But after I had a chance to vent, it didn't take long for me to dig him out again and figure out how to make it all work.  I still like him a lot now that he's finished!

Jodi-I would love to hear you play the fiddle...I also am from Nebr. My family was from Schuyler. My father was an international contractor, so we moved several times, but all the family still hang in eastern Nebr.

Jodi, I read your response to Pam's blog, where you said that your husband bought you 6 silver spoons at an antique store. It reminded me that years ago, I visited some very elderly cousins of my grandmother. They told me that one of their aunts bought them each 6 silver spoons engraved with their name because "a lady should have 6 engraved silver spoons." We used them during the visit. I have many silver spoons belonging to my ancestors, the oldest of which are six silver spoons belonging to my g-g-g-grandmother born in 1794. I'm glad you're enjoying your spoons and please pass them down to someone who will treasure and use them!

Jodi, I would love to see pictures of your necktie quilt!

Thank you Jody on your nice  comment regarding my sister.  We have been close all our lives, being two years apart.  It hurts so bad seeing her this sick.
