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.

Oh, BABE-y!

Pics of the fabu BABES gathering at Jennifer's in San Francisco on Sunday, August 21. Thanks so much for hosting, Jen! Here are the pictures. I apologize in advance for any misspelling of names and will happily fix them if you let me know! Georgene offers fitting advice to Lori while Neefer and our hostess look on. Jen, Lori, Dena, Gloria and Veronica (Verosews) swapping fabric, magazines and patterns. Joan (Grannygeek) and Georgene say their goodbyes. Tamtay, Neefer, Jen and Lori get ready to shop! Shopping in the Haight. Lisa M. , Cheryl, Dena and Gloria get inspired at Discount Fabrics

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 😜).

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.
