Serger Thread

Last night I trekked to jojos in Rohnert Park for some serger thread. I was not surprised to see that the Maxi-Lock rack was all dusty and about 2/3 empty. Jojos charges $2.79 for a spool. There was some chinese no-name serger thread on sale for $1.99. I bought the Maxi-Lock; managed to find black (but only in the extra large spool), white, gray, spruce green, and brick. The green and brick are for dh's shirt. I'd 've bought the thread at either Village Sewing or The Place That Sells Sewing Machines, but it's gawdawful expensive there--like over $4.00/spool. I guess I'm paying for the extra customer service, 'cause both places have a great color selection and the racks are dust-free. Since I was in Rohnert Park I stopped in at Burlington Coat Factory to see Kimbers at work. Saw a cute wrap top in the plus size dept. Also saw a v-neck t-shirt style shirt that was made up in a spongy, stretchy bright fabric, and was detailed with sheer black 1" wide ruffles at the neck and sleeve hems. Cute!

My serger comes today!!

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.

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.
