Yep, you heard me right….robbed, I tell ya! Someone stole an entire week when I wasn’t looking. I have no idea what I did that last 7 days, I only know what I haven’t done…..anything fun!!! As is true with anything, there is an exception or two….
I did sew these:
These are the blocks chosen by the wonderfully talented Emily. I can’t wait to see her quilt!!! I did change out the striped tonal black block on the small star block. It made it way too dark – but of course I forgot to retake the picture before I mailed it off. I was only required to mail Miss October one of the two large star blocks. The other is for my Bee Sampler, which has collected these since we started in August:
I did make a commission bag for the lady across the street – didn’t photograph it. I have also done a small amount of tailoring cheer uniforms – no need for photographs of that.
Oh and guess who decided to show his face? Before I tell you who it was let me give you a little background. First, he flies off across the world then goes missing for weeks. Finally, “he” shows up on my doorstep claiming to have gotten a makeover but oh there is so much more to that story. What really happened is he fell in love (thus not wanting to return home) and sent a replacement. Rude, right? Well, regardless he has learned that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the ocean and returned to The Gap. In the meantime his not-quite-as-ugly friend is having all the fun. He has requested I round him up so he can join his friend but I think there is a certain amount of punishment due him. What do y’all think?
Speaking of his friend, he has left Miss Rachel and moved on to visit Anneliese. I hope he lives the high-life while O (my nickname for Original – ever seen Gossip Girl) is suffering through the yucky weather here in The Gap. Have fun R (aka Replacement).
Well, I there is my pathetic attempt at a blog post. Hard to report on something that has been taken away aka the last week.
I will, however, leave you with one of my daughter’s senior pictures (my favorite):
I am trying to figure out how to do a photo slideshow in the side bar but can’t seem to get there. Suggestions?


















OMG get Kaylah off the rail track!!!!
Oh so the wander returns eh!?
Oooh naughty FUNC…. he still hasnt been to see me yet either… (hint hint Anneliese…) Great bee blocks missus, and I so love that you’re doing a sampler. Dead clever. I really should too….
Oh, so he does know where he lives then! About time! Lovely blocks, and if you find the week thief, give him extra punishment from me too!
Beautiful blocks.
well obviously the sewing machine stole your week! Better luck for the next week
Lovely photograph on the railway tracks! And I feel like I have been robbed of a month. Sucks – doesn’t it?!!
I came back to comment because I did not comment the other day as I had the same reaction as Hadley. She is beautiful but get her off the track. I have renewed hope that my bee blocks will turn up if the first func has.
Beautiful daughter you have!
Great photo, Momma, I see why you call it your favorite!
So, I’m not the only one wondering where the time goes?!?

YAY welcome back FUNC!! Even if you are a bit naughty
