I have been thinking about trying to take up sewing again! As a teen I had a sewing teacher, the meanest ole nun who told me I was too dumb to learn and favored a girl I still know today. Rhonda was cute and popular but today I am happily married and she has three former marriages and a youth complex and a partying problem! Glad I am who I am! My Auntie Ang sewed like a dream and she helped me complete so many of my projects. That mean ole nun, my friend Sue at CollectInTexas told me to forget her, and sew! She said I had it in me! I have thought about it most of my life. My mother always canned tomato sauce. I should do it but we have not had a garden. I am hopeful maybe next year. I always forget the hospital where I work next door has a big peach sale each year. They bring in the prettiest Colorado peaches! Sigh! Next year, God willing, I am buying that bushel of peaches and I will call my friend Lorna. She lives up the road a spell and she can come teach me the fine art of canning those peaches. She is the Queen of Canning and makes everything from scratch! I so love her. You are on a remarkable journey Linda. I wish you love and all your dreams to come true!Annesphamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355786666073982088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551696592048647882.post-53201663121659796332014-09-08T13:31:03.515-05:002014-09-08T13:31:03.515-05:00Always here watching, reading!

I love all kinds of crafts, but I have been going crazy with my Brother PE770 embroidery machine making little in the hoop purses, monogramming towels, making earrings and the list goes on!! God bless you in your journey!<br />GrandmaSouciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631607870871624970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551696592048647882.post-24877718008368104892014-08-21T20:22:20.771-05:002014-08-21T20:22:20.771-05:00So good to see a couple of posts and to hear that ...So good to see a couple of posts and to hear that things are moving along with the coffee house!

School starts...The summer has flown by so quickly. School starts in our town on Monday! My summer has been extremely busy trying to spend some time almost daily with my elderly, very forgetful dad and trying to get a start on cleaning out the storage areas at his house. And of course, trying to keep up with things at home.<br /><br />Our garden has been nearly non-existent. Friends who have a prolific garden gave us tomato plants, squash plants, and a basil plant. The squash plants died, and we replaced them with more, which grew well but didn't blossom until now, and then only a few. The tomato plants did well but now have blight, and something ate the basil. We did get some leaf lettuce out of our garden, but that is about all. Then, last week we had a big storm, and a tree fell on our garden, putting it out of its misery at last! Much as we love fresh veggies, I think next year we will support our local farm stand and concentrate on growing flowers, which do better.<br /><br />For crafts, I love sewing, counted cross stitch, embroidery and more. Haven't had much time to craft this summer, but I am working on a cross stitch sampler with a December theme. I love to crochet also and recently used your wash cloth edging tutorial. It came out very nice.<br /><br />Good to hear from you. Am praying all works well with the coffee shop.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551696592048647882.post-86978307354925805362014-08-21T09:12:59.535-05:002014-08-21T09:12:59.535-05:00I'm amazed that IA schools have started!

I don't have a garden here in town, but remember growing up tending a huge one! Everything you say is familiar!!

If you have a plethora of tomatoes and want to try something different with them, think ketchup!<br />Got my recipe from Farm Journal's Freezing &Canning Cookbook. I think this would make great gifts,too!<br />Blessings!Lady Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478162101957028151noreply@blogger.com
