A TV shelf for my sewing corner

My husband is wonderful. He ordered this TV shelf & undershelf unit from Stacks and Stacks for me for Christmas. Marcy, a terrifically helpful S&S goddess, told me he came in with the above picture and looking lost. They didn't carry the item in the store so he bought a gift certificate and gave it to me. What a guy. He knows I love shelves. I traipsed over to S&S the day after Christmas and Marcy ordered the set for me. The corner unit came in pretty quickly but I just picked up the undershelf yesterday. And today I get to install it! Whoo Hoo! Think of the workspace I'll gain when I get my little TV up off the sewing table! Before I install it, though, I'm going to finish one of the bridesmaid tops--can't get too sidetracked from the alterations because I have no intention of staying up til 2 in the morning before the wedding doing stuff I could've done well before. After all, on Kim's big day I have to look, if not gorgeous, at least well-rested.

Easter Ensemble

I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
