Pray for those in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Pleasant Grove, Cullman and all the other areas in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. hit by tornadoes and storms yesterday.
A Mess!
Posted by on April 25, 2011
I titled this post “A Mess!” because Browder just saw this picture and said “that’s a MESS!”. This is a closeup of our new sewing room. It’s still a dining room, although it’s in our rental house which is temporary. The good news is that this “dining room/sewing room” is at the front of the house and not connected to a den like my old house. If I don’t see it every day, maybe I won’t spend 5 hours a day in there checking email and piddling. Lots of work to do…
Here is the room. Jeff is setting up shop in here too, so we will now be working in the same room, together. We used to be around the corner which annoyed me to no end, because I’d be working on something and I’d get a summons from one of the kids that daddy needed me to see something (a design) so I was constantly back & forth. We’ll see how this goes…
I snapped this photo Friday as we were moving all of my FABRIC. Please note that I bought ANOTHER 3 drawer bin at Target last week because although these are slam full, I have several more baskets of loose fabric. My goal is to ORGANIZE ALL OF IT!
The movers moved us officially Saturday and we are pretty much settled other than the above sewing room. I like this little house and the kids love it too! But, it’s only temporary. Our search will begin this week for “the next house” and hopefully my kids won’t be scarred or too confused by moving twice in a matter of a couple of months!
We hope to have some new designs THIS WEEK! Easter & Cross designs are still 50% off (for next year?) and all other designs are 30% off until May 8th!
T minus 2 weeks!

Operation Moving Sale was a success! This picture is deceiving ~ way more junk lined the driveway on each side. So glad to get rid of all the stuff! This was not all mine either ~ a couple of friends joined in too. The garage door opened at 6:00 am, in the dark, and there was a car already waiting and another one pulled up 2 seconds later. I LOVE a good yard sale! Always entertaining. I took a load to Goodwill Monday. Success!
Here is where we are now ~ SALE PENDING!! Finally! We survived the inspection, repairs, appraisal and everything else. All set to close on April 22nd! Yep folks, that is 2 weeks from TOMORROW. Do you think a single picture is off the wall or a single book is packed in a box? NOPE! I think I am in denial. It’s kind of like when you have a mound of monogramming to do. If you’re like me you put it off until you can’t put it off no more. I guess when the moving truck pulls up I’ll realize we really ARE moving! Not sure if I updated that we ARE moving in to a rental house for a few months. We’re calling it our “summer home”! That’ll buy us some time as we search for our perfect new home (with a perfect sewing room)!
This week we traveled to Augusta, GA to THE MASTERS practice round on Tuesday, which was the day after the tornadic weather conditions that came through AL and GA on Monday night. It was C-O-L-D folks! Winds 20+ MPH too. I schlepped around in rain boots for a good 6-7 hours as we walked the entire golf course most of the day. It was AWESOME!! I’m not a HUGE golf fan, but the Hubs is, so it was fun to experience this with him and 2 of our close friends! When we left we spotted JOHN DALY seen below with some Juicy chick (her sweatpants had JUICY written across the back and she kept getting in the way of my picture). I guess since ole JD is broke and can’t play major tournaments anymore, he is selling stuff outside of Augusta National the week of the Masters!
Below, Tiger of course. He didn’t practice much Tuesday, but I was able to zoom in and get a few pics of him hitting some balls. I’m not a big fan of Tiger’s but he is famous so I felt like I needed to capture the moment!
This is my favorite picture! Jeff would have to tell you who all these people are…
This was the funnest part of the course – on one hole the players are asked by the crowd to skip a golf ball across the water on to the green. Most did it until they made it and were boo-ed if they missed. This was Sergio on the right.
Not sure who all these folks were ~ again, Jeff would know…
More Sergio. I don’t think Sergio is that great anymore but I DO know him and he was the first golfer we saw.
I can now stomach watching The Masters on TV all weekend with Jeff! I’m pretty sure the girl above right here in the pink will hate that I got a picture of her sticking her tongue out. OOPS! It really was a beautiful golf course. Great egg salad sandwiches too!
Did I mention I haven’t packed the first thing?? Better go do SOMETHING productive. I just monogrammed 2 towels for someone (even though I’m technically “off” work). I also have new designs to sample for Applique Cafe and will get to those eventually!
P.S. on the way to and fro Augusta I picked monograms out of 5 dresses/tops to re-monogram for Mallory. I took some pictures and will work on a blog post about it soon!
