I've been missing in action

Sorry I have completely neglected this blog.  What can I say, life gets in the way.  I just haven't been in the mood to write the blog lately.  I will attempt to do better.

I haven't been sewing much this summer.  I really slowed down in early spring, and it has continued all summer.  My sewing room is a wreck; it isn't much fun going in there to sew when I have to uncover the cutting table every time.  I have done some sewing, mostly when I'm at work or getting something ready to sew on at work.  I have made a couple of quilts but haven't finished anything.  I bought several patterns for clothes to make this summer but didn't touch them yet.  I've got to get back into it.

I was sitting in my car at the South Charleston library the other day when I noticed my odometer reading 70,707 miles.  That's pretty good for a car that is twelve and half years old.  I'd love to buy a new car but I just haven't found any car I like as well as my 2000 Mazda 626.  I think I'll keep it a while longer. 

We have really had some nice weather this year.  I love the hot summer days.  I sit out on the porch nearly every day no matter what the temperature is, but I particularly like it when it is hotter outside that it is inside.  I am so cold most of the time that the heat feels really good seeping into my bones. 

My kitties are doing well, except of course for Missy.  She is 17 1/2 years old now and no longer grooms herself or does anything except sleep and eat.  Poor little thing.  I give her extra treats and things.
