Stardate: 65033.5

I have a cold... I have learnt that I can sneeze in 14 different languages and cough in 29. I feel certain that I am in the early stages of death due to Kleenex suffocation... but I tend to be overly dramatic like that.


Sometimes.

I took this picture the other night and thought it was pretty! I still have SO much to learn about my new camera.

Made this bag a week-or-sew-ago and look:

It matches the chairs! (remember the chairs? i still have them.) Crazy, huh? It was a tablecloth...

After that my Singer committed sewicide. While I'm waiting for the sewing machine Dr. to get me my parts,

I've been making some red.neck Glam sparkles.

It's occurred to me that Warrenton isn't THAT far off in the distance...

and perhaps I should get busy.

Today?

I'm wearing my hot pink chucks 'cause they make me smile.

The End.

Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I'm just sittin' back and takin' it easy... what are you up to today? Wearing anything that's making you smile? hee-hee

you might be a red.neck if...

One of your prized possessions is a Velvet Elvis. Big Hunk O' Love...

a red.neck's right of passage.

Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I had a Rock-a-hula week-end... how was yours?

I'm also wondering where I should store hang the Velvet Elvis.... hmmmm.....

Sweet "T"

Mal and Sweet T

I'm sure you all know Sweet T (and Malisa... she's a trouble maker! geesh!)...

aka: Theresa Cano. Garden Antiques Vintage.

I just met Theresa a couple of years ago... got to know her and LAUGH with her WAY more this last time in Warrenton...

even lifted a bulldozer out of her booth.  Yeah - I said bulldozer.

Wanna know why I think she's so sweet?  Well... there are thousands of reasons (besides the fact that she has cool bulldozer toys) - but one of them is:

she spoils me rotten. ROTTEN!!!  Picture this:

long day at the pay-my-bills-job.
drive home dodging cattle, horses - black and white stinky things kitty cats...
a long winding gravel road...
alas!  there's the single-wide!  whew... FINALLY!!!
oh wait... what's that package on the porch?
it's for me!!!  what could it possibly be?!

uh huh... Sweet T spoilin' me rotten with a whole bunch of patches for the Saddle Tramp shirts - this is just a few of 'em!

Whew doggy - I'm havin' sew much fun with the patches you may NEVER get me out of my sewing room!!!

I've thought about going to see if I can find Sweet T at Binky's (where she's got a SALE goin' on!) this week-end... just to see what else she's got that I might need to walk off with. Maybe another bulldozer? Hmmmm... maybe a bike! Or, let's see... ANY of the fun stuff Sweet T finds and shares!!!
Will I see you there? What do you have planned for your week-end?

Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I THANK YOU Theresa for spoilin' me rotten!!! hee-hee

window shopping

I might need to own this dress.

stopped and drooled over the dress here

To wear with these boots.

found 'em here

And this necklace.

from the lovely leslie's etsy shop!

Then... I would have to talk someone in to making me a cutefunkycrazyfun pocketbook to carry...
hmmm....

Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I'm thinkin' I should proll'y get to work so I can buy these things I just shopped for in my mind. Happy Wednesday! hee-hee

yesterday...

I started looking at my world through a new camera with lenses.

the resident teen slowed down so I could take a series of the train car... he's such a good kid!

I have a lot to learn about settings and lighting and stops and lenses and... stuff.

But - good grief - this is gonna be a FUN learnin' process!!!

Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide - where I have to ask: 1. Have you ever towed around a lemon? and 2. How was your long week-end?!  hee-hee

Happy Fourth of July!

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.

Happy Independence Day to my fish fryin', truck drivin', country playin' (and perhaps some bluegrass thrown in there...), Walmart shoppin', Nascar watchin', shotgun totein', tractor drivin', hillbilly stompin', backwoods livin' red.neck friends! Yeah... that's you - no use in denyin' it now!!! yeeeeeeeeee HA!

Enjoy, be safe - and hug a Soldier or a Vet today!
Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide...hee-hee


p.s. Did you know that over an estimated 150 million hot dogs will be consumed today?
