I Didn't Do Anything Creative Today....

Because today the furnace and ductwork had to be cleaned.  18 years of dust and cat hair sucked out and taken away....hopefully the time I WILL NOT have to spend dusting will now be spent sewing and dreaming and pinning things on Pinterest.

Tonight there was a Food Truck Rally (as part of a fundraiser for a local art center) in The Clem.
If you are from my area you know what I'm talking about.
It was a coolish evening, but not so cool that you couldn't hang out, eat, and enjoy the people watching.
There were a good number of trucks in town tonight...and the offerings were pretty awesome!

 Rob and Brandy joined us....
So did Cliff, Claudette and Karen.  Why didn't I get their pic?

 Perogies.  OMG the Perogies.  Especially the spinach and artichoke.  DELISH!

 Bath City Roller Girls.  I've ALWAYS loved Roller Derby.  Ever since I was a young girl and saw Rachel Welch in Kansas City Bomber.  They are actually looking for more roller girls....I wonder.  Am I too old  for this sport?

Lordy....I had the pork taco.  Tim had chicken.  Rob had the chimichanga.  All fantastic.

The kids from The School of Rock provided the entertainment.  They were pretty darn good.
(So why didn't I get THEIR pic??)

So that's it.  That was my evening....arrived at home in time for the presidential debates.
I will NOT be discussing that here!

Have a great evening!

East Tawas Color Tour

Hey There!
Just sharing some pics of our trip to East Tawas....Tim and I got lucky and got a spot at East Tawas City Park RV joint.....Spot 169...have a great view of the train coming thru at midnight....and then another one that comes thru right after that.  I thought it was funny and it made me crack up.  Tim felt differently.
We went to the Huron National Park, Tawas Point State Park, Oscoda and East Tawas.  Fit it all in in one day and didn't feel like we were rushing or anything.
We stopped at the Garden View Coffee Mill....in Oscoda.  I dont know what it was called before, but the Quilty Chicks went there for lunch a few years back...it was that sweet little  tea place.

Anyway, here's some pics of the day......

Lazy blogging

I took this pic on my camera...I just crammed everything onto my empty design wall and took a pic.
This quilt is a birthday gift for a little girl whose favorite colors are pink and purple.
I think I have the colors down...now it's all about getting an arrangement I like.

The pink fabric at the top will be my borders...when it gets here.  I dont have enough to do the job but I did order some from Fabric Shack (located in Waynesville, Ohio.  Close to home so it should get here quick...fingers crossed!)
I'm hoping that the picture is clear....because I'm much too lazy to go looking for my camera right now!

East Tawas Weekend

Tim and I went up to East Tawas this weekend for the Blues Festival.
We got there Friday evening, around 9......
Got our drink on kinda early Saturday @ Barnacle Bills....we had some outdoor seats that let us enjoy good music and great people watching.
However...we spent most of our time on the porch of The Harbor Star....

 And on the couch in front of the Bristol race....

 A little more time on the porch....

 And a little more time on the couch......

I also spent a little bit of time sewing.  These are some blocks that I randomly pieced from the black and white shirt scraps....they started out the size of the block in the lower left corner.  I decided to cut them in two and randomly sash them with solids.

I'm liking how they look so far....hopefully I will get back to them soon!

Scenes From Turn Two

A Real Wonder Woman.....

My friend Claudette is Proof Positive that while we might have to grow up and grow older, we do not have to stop having silly, wet-your-pants fun.

Look up fun in the dictionary....you will see this girl.

Need to add life to your party?  Call this girl.

(Just be warned...she will bring her camera and capture You and Your inner-child!)

A Little Insight

Into how my brain works.....

Losing my mind....

THIS is what I did today.
(Among other things)
This silly star finished at 1 7/8".
My Darling husband suggested that an entire quilt made up of these might be fun.
My question?  For Whom would that be fun?
