Merry Wives (Humor in the Home)

I love to read. From Little House on the Prairie to Ann Rule's true crime stories. One genre I particularly enjoy is humor about women and home. Books by Jean Kerr, Teresa Bloomingdale, Erma Bombeck and Peg Bracken have their own shelf in my library. My physical library consists of 3 white melamine bookshelfs in my living room and hallway, but my virtual library is being planned. I'm adding a room to Chez Tamtay in which I will store my precious book memories. Until construction on my virtual library is complete I'm keeping some things in the sewing room. Here is one of them: Review of Merry Wives.

Sock Monkey Tutorial

Still got sock-monkeys on my mind. I found a step-by-step picture tutorial to make them. I would embroider the eyes so they'd be safe for the little ones.

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.
