Have Sewing Machine, Will Travel.

I am a champion for hire.

(okay, you young kids…these are references to the early 60’s TV Western “Have Gun Will Travel” about the gentlemanly Paladin, a well-read, man-eating-tiger hunting, ever diplomatic but ready-to-pull-the-trigger-if-necessary, avenger of justice in the Wild West)


Well, JR and I have spent the last several days with an intestinal virus that really knocked us for a loop. Finally feeling a little on the mend, we visited with the kids yesterday for football watching and window treatment sewing. What should have taken me about an hour to complete took me about 4 hours…but then there were interruptions for over-all low energy, baby snuggling and teachable moments



The final result was acceptable…Katie approved. She bought a Pottery Barn duvet cover on ebay because she loved the print. We were able to use the solid back for lining. And there is enough left over to do a curtain for the half-bath. Bonus, bonus.



All in all, a job well done.

  6. Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my
    own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
