My birthday present to myself :0

Happy 46th birthday, Jennifer girl!

ok, am I the only one here or does anyone else get themselves birthday present for themselves? Guilty as charged. My guilt plea is for buying a birthday present for my own self. Oowie! Can you tell I"m married to someone in Law Enforcement? LOL

I caved yesterday and got this delft flower frog at the Delft Shop in Helen, Ga. for my little scissors. I've been looking at all Deb's scissor frogs and just had to find a delft one. This store, The Dutch shop, has one, a smaller one, that fits the perfect function for my little scissors. I will also put my Love Scissors (with the heart handles) in it-------when I retrieve them from the car. Yes, I'm guilty of stitching in the car at lunchtime during workdays. I dropped a pair in between the seats and have to go digging for them. As soon as I add this pair and another pink handle pair I have, then this will be my collection of Littles.

I absolutely love Delft. I did before I married a Dutchman and now it's so much better because I know he is a Dutchman..........This shop is full of only Delft imported from Holland.

Thanks Deb, for giving me the bug to go scissor frog shopping yesterday!!!!!!! LOL

Oh, and look at my fat quarters. I have tons more in my cabinet downstairs but these are my favorites which need to be made into something. Oh, what potential right????

I have taken the new sewing machine out of the box and stared at it for 2 days. I am going to get the courage to use it tonight.

What will I sew? I haven't a clue. But I will keep you posted. (unless it looks like crap, then I won't). LOL

Laughter is the Best Medicine

In reading Parsley's blog this morning, I had alot of laughs about Tim Hawkins. I guess I'm sheltered, I haven't heard of this comedian but I clicked on all his U-Tube comedies and laughed and laughed and laughed. Here is one of the examples:
Just click on this site for "things you don't say to your wife". Hilarious!

You can then click on all the related videos when you are there and laugh your day away!
Thanks Parsley. I enjoyed the one on your blog about government and I liked listening to the rest of his funny ones!

Hoping for Fall soon

Coffee, anyone? Chocolate Velvet for me this morning.
Ren is still turbaned up from the night. He hasn't let me know he needs to go out but he will when he hears the coffee going (I think he just smells it, his hearing is almost gone). Otherwise, I will let sleeping dogs lie, or so the saying goes, or he will be a grumpy little man and growl at me.

Thomas is practicing his lion skills here. He doesn't care what kind of weather it is.

For me, Fall is my most favorite time of year, always has been, always will. So, it's so very close. I've kinda got a few things ready around the house and plan to use the rest of my Staycation to bring out my other Fall decor. Mulled cidar tea light candles just sets the mood....for Fall.

And my most favorite coffee cup here. It's about 10 years old but the words are still true.

My morning coffee is ready. I perked some Chocolate Velvet Decaf this morning. Smells heavenly in the house now. Let's keep the nerves settled! LOL This makes me want to bake a Chocolate Pound cake...............

This fabric will be another working project this week. I loved the colors. I'm going to make something simple to go on the porch, just enough to add a Fallish flair.

While I'm stirring around and about the house, I will sing, Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come back another Day.............

Have a good Monday, my friends!

Talk later,

Jennifer
