Family Pics

It's been too long since I've posted, but I still don't have time this morning for a *real* post, so I'll try to placate my many many visitors with one of my fav family snapshots. That's me, my brother and twin sister from probably 1980 or so. Enjoy!

Work in Progress (WIP)

Of all the many projects I have going on right now, I thought I'd share the prettiest.



It's a purse I just started working one. However, it's going to sit on the ironing board for a while until I can finish the more urgent and important projects looming: dissertation group meeting tomorrow with chapter one due; need to organize lessons for three classes I'm teaching tomorrow; need to organize what I'm presenting at an important meeting with all the Deans tomorow. So, no more fun sewing projects for the next few days at least.

Labor Day Weekend

We didn't do that much over this very relaxing weekend, but I did manage it capture most of it on my camera. So, enjoy this short slideshow of Dad realizing his lifelong dream. View slideshow

Movie night

Olive: Grandpa, am I pretty?
Grandpa: You are the most beautiful girl in the world.
Olive: You're just saying that.
Grandpa: No! I'm madly in love with you and it's not because of your brains or your personality.

Just saw Little Miss Sunshine last night and for someone who always likes quirky independent films, this one was fantabulous! Of course, the language could have been cleaned up, but all the characters were unique, dysfunctional and yet funny. Special message to my sis... If you haven't seen this, you'll love it!

Also, sis, remind me to tell you about the rest of the night. Off-blog conversation piece.
