    Oh, you should have him install a keypad entry on your garage door! Just input the code and you're in like flynn!

    I've always believed chocolate was one of the necessities for all quilters.

    If that had been me, I would have gone back to sewing without ever having put in a new bobbin. Sometimes I feel so brainless!

    One of the advantages of getting old is that the kids all have kids of their own and can leave me alone.

    If you were closer, I'd gladly share my chocolate AND wine, with you!

    Like Button!!!

    I don't cuss at my machine but I do yell at it, from time to time. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?" It knows better, than to answer.

    Don't think I've ever done that but it's a wonder.

    Yesterday, I learned why one should not keep needles, in the same place as pins. . . .
