Project Runway autograph!!!!!



Lisa"fun"Fulmer got this little pressie for me at the craft expo (CHA) in Chicago.
I sooooo can't wait for her to get back to CA so I can touch it, feel it and be one with it!!!!!!  EEEEEEEEEEEE

TONIGHT----PROJECT RUNWAY

Finally, after forever, a new season of Project Runway!

I can hardly contain myself. DVR is set, popcorn is bought, sewing machine is threaded (thank you for that Mark) and facebook invites sent.

Here's hoping they get back to basics and have new, up and coming designers instead of people who already have a line; great drama and rivalries; uber creative challenges; judge drama and a really good runway portion

Here's hoping that we get to see and feel the process of creating and making the garments and not so much of the boring in between parts. (last season had issues with that) 

Here's hoping the show is inspiring and fun and turns out to be 'must see t.v"!!!

Sock Monkey parts all matched and bagged? yyyeeessssssss
Cheescakes cooked? Not yet.
Errands ran? In 10 minutes I'm out the door.
Sleep, maybe a nap later. hahahahahahaha

Hot Hot Hot

Hot flashes are keeping me from things I should be doing.
I am avoiding the iron like it was full of bees or smelled funny or something.

Must get booty moving...........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Prepping for fun!

     What is keeping me distracted today? Planning for a mini quilting retreat with a few of the ladies from an online quilt group that has been together for 15 years. I can hardly believe it!
     I won't be doing much quilting, but I will be doing a lot of apron making.  Right now, I am  bagging everything up, making sure I have all the right thread and assorted doodads.
     I am very excited. This is the first time I get to go because there is no kid activity, mostly colorguard, going on! woot woot raise the roof!!

** in case you haven't discovered them, ziplock© bags in the 2.5 gallon size are AWESOME  times two!! I prefer the slide kind, but the regular is good too.

See you around the blogosphere.
