Or so it seems! Everything is turning green, pink, yellow, lavender and sky blue! I know that winter will (probably) raise it's cold head another time or two but while it's here, the warm weather is awesome! I want to talk to you about all the sweet baby calves in the pasture, my new granddaughter who turned six months old yesterday, the jonquils that grow everywhere in my country neighborhood. But, I think I'm going to go with fabric instead!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Samples! <span style="font-size: small;">Lots and lots and lots of samples! I love discontinued fabric samples that are bound for the trash!</span></span><br />

<br />
<i>Between the turmoil of winter weather that's been sweeping across the country, the evil and fighting that's in our world, you wonder....Is there any good anymore???</i><br />
<br />
<i>Recently, while out of town, I witnessed "good" still alive and well. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I was standing in line at a fast food restaurant. (</i>I know...fast food and restaurant don't exactly go together)<i> While waiting to order, I couldn't help but over hear the conversation of the people in front of me. A husband and wife and another woman. They had not come in together but had struck up a conversation while waiting. It seemed that the woman was "down on her luck", having some financial and home issues. The couple offered to buy her food. After the usual "you don't need to do that" the woman stepped up to place her order. </i>(this part I love) <i>She begins her order with a dollar burger and that was it...very humble and thankful, not ordering more than she thought was fair! The couple insisted that she get a full meal and then invited her to sit and eat with them!!!!</i> <i>Hugs and smiles all around!!!!</i><br />
<br />
<i>I then order my food and step back to wait. Apparently they were having issues with another customer that had not received his food and had been waiting a while. He was offered his money back and his food would be free! His remark back to the manager was a polite but firm, "</i>I don't want anything for free, just my food please!" <i>Wow! </i><br />
<br />
<i>Just like the jonquils peeping out through the snow and ice, </i>GOOD <i>in people and our world is alive and well! The kind of things that make you smile, make you think about your own actions, make you realize that it is possible, really do exists! </i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Be good. Do good. See the good</span> <span style="font-size: large;">and be thankful for it!!!!!</span><br />

When it's been a while since you've done something, do you question yourself?<br />
<br />
Can I do it again? Do I remember how? Do I want to do it again? Is there anybody out there?<br />
<br />
On April 8,2014, I posted a blog post! Did I determine that I would not blog again until almost a year later? No! Never gave it a thought. I had a story to share and nothing else. Sooooo, why so long between post? I can't answer that question. (Not accurately anyway.)<br />
<br />
Why? Because I really don't know myself. Not enough time, nothing to say, too much to say, doubt, life, busy...???? I have determined that it doesn't matter.<br />
<br />
My blog, my time, my words, my pictures, my thoughts, when and where and how and if, <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>my choice</i></b></span>!<br />
<br />
Having said all that...<b><i>I'm back and I hope to stay that way!</i> </b><br />
<br />
If you're new here and you read the caption that's in the heading of my blog, <b>"</b><i><b>Lose a job, Find a life"</b>, </i>today has, once again, proven that statement to be true! For me at least!<br />
<br />
I was on the last five minutes of my morning routine with the chicken houses when our son calls.<br />
"Mom, when you're done I need you to help me"!<br />
Ok! Sure! Always happy to be there for my kids! "What's up?"<br />
"Got a heifer that needs help calving"<br />
"Be right there, just tell me where to go and what to do!"<br />
<b> </b><br />
Yippee...can't wait! A new experience for me on the farm! I tell myself all the way home...<b>" be quiet, stay out of the way and listen carefully to instructions"! </b>(I want to get asked back)!<br />

So far, baby is doing ok! It will remain to be seen as to whether Mom will take him or not. If she refuses, I have asked to be able to try and bottle raise him! Another new experience!<br />
<br />
<b><i>I do so love life on the farm!!! </i></b><br />
<br />
(ps...I'm sure that those of you who know me well are shocked that this post hasn't been about our new Grand baby! Don't worry....there's more to come, at least I hope there is, and I'm sure you'll get to hear all about that experience too!)<br />

You speak and smile to someone, " <i>Hello...How are you?...Pretty dress...Like that tie....Glad to see you..."</i>etc. Just a little nicety that you were raised to do.<br />
<br />
We had a woman that worshiped with us who wore a red, liquid leather coat. Back in the late '80's I think. One of my sister's would always tell her how pretty she looked in her red coat. (You never know who pays attention to a nicety) When the woman passed away, her husband gave that coat to my sister. A kindness passed on!<br />
<br />
It was worn a time or two and then saved for another purpose. Here's what that purpose turned out to be.<br />

You remember that TV commercial...<b>"cotton, it's the fabric of our lives"?</b><br />
<br />
Because my primary job is helping with our chicken houses, (we are Broiler Growers for Tyson's), I get a two week "time off period" every eight weeks or so. (My favorite part of the job) That allows me to catch up here at the house or go on a trip. Last week I traveled to Bastrop, LA. (Place of my birth.) Mom and I went to my Aunt Marcile's for several days of catching up and photo looking.<br />
<br />
What I want to share with you is our time with the quilting club!<br />
<br />
Every Wednesday, at 9:00am, this group of women gather to hand stitch a quilt. They quilt for themselves and for anyone that wants to pay to get their heirloom finished by hand. The money raised is used to send children with cancer to camp in the summer! They take a sack lunch or plan a day of pot luck.<br />
<br />
Normally, I don't have a problem with the sin of covetousness. However, I must say that as I sat and enjoyed all I witnessed, I wanted what they have! The day, the place, the time, the people. It was awesome.<br />
<br />

My Mom is the one on the right side with her knitting. They offered for her to quilt but she declined. She felt it had been too many years and her stitches might not suffice the scrutiny of such a group of experts!<br />
<br />

Look at the detailed work in this Calendar quilt. Each month meticulously hand appliqued.<br />

You notice all of the tubs organized on the walls? Their "place of quilting" is the "barn" of the homeowner. It was her husbands work shop and when he died she converted it into a crafting/quilting spot. She decorates her entire house for every holiday and these tubs hold her collections. I have to tell you that I just kept walking around with my mouth hanging open at the stuff! The antiques and treasures she has are just jaw dropping! And the organization is a story all by itself!<br />

This is my Aunt Marcile! She is eighty-five years young and still going strong! Her husband was my Dad's brother. We have always been especially close to her and her family and it is always a joy to go spend time at her house.So many of my special memories involve her!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>What did I do that day? </i></b></span><br />
<br />
<i>The best thing of all. <b>I sat in the middle.</b> Between two quilts. Between two groups of women. All with years of lifetime experiences. <b>And I listened, </b>to the beautiful hum of voices. I heard tales of everything from gout to cooking, children, Grand-children, who went to school with whom, where and when. I heard their voices and voices from the past. Women that are no longer with them in body but in spirit.</i><br />
<br />
<i><b>It was an awesome day and I am so very thankful for it! </b></i><br />

<i>As a lot of you know, my Dad died two years ago this past Thanksgiving. He and Mom lived on a small farm west of town. That place was his pride and joy and he loved being outside, working on the fence, messing with the cows, raising a garden. Doing any of those "honey do" things Mom had lined out. After Dad died, Mom told us girls..." My life will be different now, but I will have a happy life." </i><br />
<br />
<i>My Mother has always been a hard worker. The women in her family just do that. If it needs to be done....figure out a way and get it done.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Because I have a job that allows me to be at home most of the time, I am privileged to be able to help her now and then. And so, when she decided that "we" (she and me) were going to take down and replace the fence that runs along the front pasture, I just said, "yes mam". </i><br />
<br />
<i>The first day we worked it was still Christmas break and so my sister, Lisa, came over to help and also provided a terrific lunch. (We ate like ranch hands too). That first day we took down and replaced 160' of fence! Whew!</i><br />
<br />
<i>Work day number two was me and Mom. We worked our way across the creek and got one panel up on the "other side". </i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i> <span style="font-size: small;">I knew Hannah was busy knitting. She's always knitting or spinning this or that.

On a recent jaunt through the woods, my sister's Granddaughter lost one of the work gloves she was wearing. After a careful search the glove was not to be found. Here's the conversation that followed;<br />
<br />
<b>Mimi</b>..."one glove will do you no good you might as well throw that one in the trash"!<br />
<b>Bekah</b>..."Oh No....we need to re-purpose it. We can give it to Aunt Tammy and she can add fabric to it and make a bag!!"<br />
<br />
Sister throws gloves in the trash and then tells me the story. <br />
<br />
When you find out that a six year old has faith that you can do something then....<b>you do it!</b><br />
<br />
I had her dig the glove out of the trash, wash it, and get it to me.<b> </b>Here's what happened next...<br />

I am blessed with family and friends! Both of these groups are so good to help me with finding the occasional clothing item or piece of vintage/free/cheap fabric to be used in a bag. They will ask me if I would like to go through their thrift store or garage sale bag before disposing of the items! My answer is always "<b><i>yes</i></b>". <br />

A friend picked up vintage curtains at an auction. She was kind enough to call me before throwing them in the trash! Yes....<i><b>the trash! </b></i>When she opened the bag all I could say was...<i><b>Oh Oh Oh....</b></i>Bless her, she was concerned, was it a good <i><b>Oh</b></i>? You bet! I am now the proud owner of <i><b>seven</b></i> panels of this awesome fabric! I can not wait to see a purse/ tote/ weekender made from this fabric.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thanks Dee, for thinking of me.</b></i><br />

It's funny. I've noticed recently that when I compliment family and friends on their clothes they tend to hug their bodies and say <i><b>NO</b></i>!

<i>I love road trips, family, fun and fabric finding! Most of all, I love when all four can be thrown in together even if it's just for a very short two days. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Because my mind is almost always on bags and what to make the next one from, I am constantly on the look out for fabric. I've recently begun making bags from discontinued fabric samples and so a stop at a local furniture was a must. I've been a day late and a dollar short with most of the stores. However, a stop on this trip turned into my lucky day. They had a box of samples headed to the trash! You'd have thought the man gave me a million bucks. The squealing, hand clapping and hugging were </i>(probably to him at least) <i>crazy! I was soooooo excited. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Sister, Tracy, was with me on this trip. She had no patience to wait until we arrived at our Aunt Marcile's to look in the box. She climbs in the back and begins to look through the box!</i><br />

<i> Oh! Look look...</i><br />
<i> love this...</i><br />
<i> You should do this with this one...</i><br />
<i> This would make a great...</i><br />
<i> Wow....I love that one....</i><br />
<br />
<i>And on and on, until...I hear...</i><br />
<i>.<b><span style="font-size: large;">Stop the car! Stop the car now! Stop the car and get the box out! Stop the car now and get it out quick!</span></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the first"stop the car" my first thought was "JACKPOT" we've got some leather samples...yippeee!

<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did we have leather? NOPE! Just a <b>big, brown, roach </b>scurrying around in the box and trying his best to find a way out! After stopping the car and getting the box out I disposed of both box and roach! </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">And so Tra went back to looking, sorting and stacking. </span></span></i><br />

<i>There are four words that my Hubby Honey hates to hear. He says that they make him "just draw up and shake"! Ha! </i><br />
<br />
<i>What are they?</i><br />
<br />
<b><i>"Honey...I've been thinking"! </i></b><br />
<br />
<i>These words are usually followed by;</i><br />
<i>I need, could you, do you think, I want you to, please build, re-do, make me, etc.</i><br />
<br />
<i>We've been needing bar stools. They're not cheap. And so....I started thinking! We had old, handmade stools at the shop that his Mom designed and his Dad made years ago. We had already used them before but they had issues. The seats are made from old tractor seats. Which is cool except that they tilted just enough to the front to make you want to slide forward. Not fun to sit in if you are constantly pushing your self back. I had asked for repairs to be made long ago, back in the day. Answer to that question was..."no"! And so we stopped using them and stored them away. </i><br />
<br />
<i>It's amazing what you can do when motivated by saving cold, hard, cash!</i><br />
<br />
<i>Before....</i><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've told you before that I have sisters. Three to be exact. Two school teachers and a nurse. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">One can help me if I'm wounded, one can proof read my writing and the least in age can add a row of numbers for me. All three are better cooks than me. ( I can cook, it's just not my favorite thing to do) Sometimes, if I'm not careful, I'll start to feel a little inferior to all their talents and smarts. But, occasionally they need a talent that I have. And I love to be able to help! The following is a creation for the youngest sister! Our homecoming at school is this week and today was Orange & Black day! She brought over a collection of their Scrapper T's and here's what came of them!</span><br />

Has won contest more times than I can count. She's our "do it all" sister. Deer slayer, carpenter, knitter, crocheter, seamstress, cook and on and on and on....Oh...and she's our "skinny and can eat anything" sister. It's a good thing we love her or else....</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">@</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The "@" sign. It's on your computer, phone, I-pad, everything you own that has a keypad. We even use it now when writing with our own hand! A simple, easy to use, SIGN.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span></b></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A period, dot, tiny point! We use it to end a sentence. Sometimes we cluster several together... and then go on with a thought! Just a tiny point. Simple, easy to use. No big deal!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">No big deal...unless...<span style="font-size: small;">you've spent the past three years trying to get the word out about your blog and the bags you sell. If you are trying to direct traffic to a blog (street, store, house, ANYWHERE) You need to get the address right! And so...get this...I have "blissfully" been putting the WRONG blog address ALL OVER THE PLACE! In my bags, on the tags that go with the bags, on tickets...you name it! </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last week while working on a bag, I kept hearing this little bell in my head. When it wouldn't go away I got up and came to the computer to check. There it was. Big as life. In my blog address. A <b>. </b>not the <b>@ </b>sign. And what's on everything???? The <b>@</b> sign. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you're reading this it's because somehow, someway, you found the right address. This is one of those, <b>"MORON" </b>moments. This is when my Dad would say...<b>"Oh my aching back"! </b></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">And so, now I am busy trying to get everything changed to the correct address. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Who's fault was it? Mine and only mine! Apparently I confused a part of my email address with the blog address. Sad thing is that it took me so long to catch it! My blog followers, you friends and family, already had it bookmarked and so never had to search for the address. If you are reading this and had to search, please accept my apology and thanks! I hope to get the word out about the correction. ( pass it on please)</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Have you seen the movie <i>O' Brother Where Art Thou? </i>There's a line in that movie that I love. " <i>Do.....Not....Seek....the....Treasure...." </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Seeking the "treasure" that I use to make my bags is (at least) 50% of the fun for me! Now, I have a new treasure to seek! Leather and suede scraps. Cast off samples from the furniture store! Look what you can do with basket full!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The leather was awesome to sew on! (very surprising)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This bag was made from two letter jackets that were worn in the early 70"s. Still in great shape and made an awesome bag! I took the wool from both jackets and washed it in the washing machine before using. A bit scary but worth the nerves! It softened up and was perfect for sewing into this bag! The leather is from the sleeves of one jacket.</span></span><br />

<i>Last but not least....I love this bag! It's a Chico's brand and in pristine condition except....look closely and you will see how one of the straps has come completely UN-woven! Not a problem! I will try to fix it first. If that doesn't work I'll just make a new strap for it! The lady I bought this from was hateful and snotty! A really UN-pleasant person and we walked away feeling sorry for her but "thrilled" for my $2.00 purchase! She claimed she paid $100 for the bag. Maybe she did. I can tell you that if I EVER made that much for a bag and it came UN-done like this I would take it back to the store! Oh well...her loss and my gain!</i><br />

<i>If you are a scrapbook fan or have been thinking of becoming one then the following story is for you. Or, maybe you just need a good laugh!</i><br />
<br />
<i>I will try to make this as short as possible but you must have a little background to get the jest of it all. </i><br />
<br />
<i>There are four daughters in our family. No boys. We grew up with our Dad being a Minister and so we were the..."preacher's daughters"! Moving around from town to town and state to state was a common thing in our home! No big deal....the more you move the more friends you make!</i><br />
<br />
<i> Anyway, approximately two years ago sister number two told Mom that she wished she had a "picture" of every home we had ever lived in! And so, true to form for our Mother she proceeds to convince Dad that they need to "travel back in time" to all the places we lived and take pictures of said houses! I can just see Daddy rolling his eyes, getting in the car and ending up enjoying the journey! Then Mother decides it would be great to "make" each one of us a "scrapbook" with these pictures for Christmas that year. ( How she ever thought she could get that finished in a few short months is beyond me....)</i><br />
<br />
<i>After gathering a ton of scrapbook supplies, (mostly donated to her by our cousin Tammy and Aunt Doris.....thank you, thank you!) she prepares to get going on these special books. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Tragedy then strikes and we lose Dad. With hearts grieving and our minds trying to wrap around the fact that Dad has died, Mom tells us the story of the trip for pictures and the books that were to follow. We are shocked, thrilled and excited....</i><br />
<br />
<i>until...</i><br />
<br />
<i>She tells us that we can all work together to make our books!!! </i><br />
<br />
<i>We are all blessed with talents and so we thought, okay, this will be fun and we can work together and get them made in a day or maybe two!</i><br />
<br />
<i>Ha...a year and a half later we are still working. No one is completely finished and if you were a fly on the wall at Mom's watching us in our little "scrapbook" room area this is what you would see and hear...</i><br />
<br />
<b><i>UGH!</i></b><br />
<b><i>I hate this!</i></b><br />
<b><i>Are you finished with those scissors</i></b><br />
<b><i>Where's the chocolate?</i></b><br />
<b><i>I hate you...</i></b><br />
<b><i>Yours is sooooo cute</i></b><br />
<b><i>Where's the chocolate?</i></b><br />
<b><i>UGH! </i></b><br />
<b><i>Who's big idea was this?</i></b><br />
<b><i>Have you seen the chocolate?</i></b><br />
<b><i>I'm never going to finish</i></b><br />
<b><i>I wish I had done mine like that</i></b><br />
<b><i>I need to start all over</i></b><br />
<b><i>Stupid, stupid cricket machine...</i></b><br />
<b><i>pass the chocolate</i></b><br />
<b><i>I bet my kids end up selling this in a garage sale!!!</i></b><br />
<b><i>Who would want it???</i></b><br />
<b><i>I love this page!</i></b><br />
<b><i>I need chocolate!!!!! </i></b><br />
<br />
<i>Do I enjoy the scrap-booking? Not so much. What I do love is the time at Mom's spent with "<b>the girls</b>" as we have always and will always be called!</i><br />
<br />
<b><i>It is truly about the journey and how we live it...thanks Mom! </i><i> </i></b><br />
<br />

You've heard the term...<i>" if you don't use it, you lose it". </i><br />
<br />
As you know, (if you've read any of my previous post) I love to sew and especially enjoy making bags of various styles and sizes. What you don't know is that years ago I made almost every dress and/or outfit my daughter,Hannah, wore. (daughter had her 28th birthday this past week.) A dear friend got me started on smocking and french hand sewing by machine! I don't even know how many dresses, bubbles, etc I've made. What I do know is it was <b><i>fun</i></b>. Jill and I used to start dresses for our girls on Saturday night and they would wear them to bible class and church the next morning. I also sewed for my niece that's two years older than Hannah. On a number of occasions I would call my sister and tell her to bring Holly and meet me in the church parking lot and slip a new dress on her before going inside the building! <br />
<br />
I haven't done that kind of sewing in a long time. But I learned recently that it's like riding a bike. You might stumble a bit, but you'll get the hang of it again pretty quick!<br />

This little round yoke dress was made for a beautiful, big blue eyed, curly haired little girl with the name Katherine. I enjoyed making it and it brought back so many memories.<br />
