Hello my dear family of forumers. I just wanted to let you all know that I have to go to my sister in laws today and I'll be back to my computer on Sunday night. She is 70 and needs some help (besides I haven't seen her for a while). So, I'm bringing the OLD (as in 10 years) laptop and ... 1. Hoping it will function 2. Hoping she will be able to give me the code to be able to do a wireless off her internet (that didn't work the last time) So... if I'm not on, just hang on till Sunday night ok?
Also, Linda is having some "away from the computer" issues too so we're both temporarily down this weekend. When it rains, it pours right.
So we love you all and will be back soon. Nice thing is that there are so many other forumers that may be able to answer your questions in the mean time (and usually do).
All went well on the trip, except she didn't know how to find the code to let me share her internet. But that's ok I guess. It was very nice up there at her house. She has 1/2 of a double bungalo (side by side). She has so much stuff for this garage sale that she can't even park in her 2 car garage (well actually it's a 1 1/2 car garage I guess). She has goat paths in her house because of all the boxes! it's so funny (and sad) to see her living this way as she's very organized. But it's driving her nuts with all this stuff.
But I got some really good deals on the clothes! I got some really nice sports jackets to wear to an office (when I can get a job). They were between $1.50 and $3.00 each! And some beautiful sweaters! A double thick reversible pile/fleece coat for $6.00! I have wanted one of thos for over 8 years but couldn't afford it. Woohoo! Some nice dress blouses, and a gorgeous dropped-waist lace dress, looks like it's from back in the 20's. It's offwhite with an underdress. If I can't wear it I can always make some reborn dresses out of it!! AND... I bought a Berenguer for $4.00! Happy little one with a full vinyl body and full limbs, and very slight hairlines! Someone knitted her a little pants and top outfit, I know it's not the original outfit. My sister in law was going ok most of the day yesterday but then by 5 pm she finally told us she hadn't had anything to eat all day since 5 AM! So I had to make sure she got something to eat and sat and ate it. She was exhausted.
Ok, well, talk about blabby lips... that's me! hahaha
Bla, Bla, Bla,, Glad you got some bargains, we never need so much in winter cloths here. There was only one day I had to rug up in winter and that was at the festival in July, luckily, the lady next to me was selling knitted scarfs and shawls. so I bought 4, I only had a long sleeved T shirt and a Denim Jacket on and there was ice on the ground for the first time, OH well that is the first time I was out of bed before 10 am...............Glad to see you back on line. XXXXX June.

AWWW! Thanks ladies, it's nice to be missed. *blush*
I love the bargains I got but I'd better like it if I could get bargains on little frilly baby outfits. Seems like no one here makes much any of them any more, only knit stuff. Sometimes you just want a little frilly pretty lacy not-stretchy.... KWIM?
Ice in Qlnd June? And here for our 4th of July festival its usually blazing hot!! Quite the opposite on the other side of the world eh?
I will post pics of all the kits I have to do before Nov, I have a lot of pieces of fabric that has been smocked, all I have to do is make them up. For all the new babies, I will have them dressed in silks and lovely home made dresses. xxxxx June
June, love to see your silks, smocked, and home made outfits!
I just GOTTA get my room downstairs sorted out. Wish I could hire someone to move things out of there for me. I don't know anyone I trust around here enough to let them into my home. Sad I know, but that's how it is in the big city here :( All they have to do is move stuff into my daughters room (since she's gone most of the time at her bf place) and I'll do the rest. Hmmmm, maybe I'll have to be like Winnie the Pooh... think, think, think, hahaha It's driving me crazy! I can't do anything, not even work on babies. Although I have a head I'm working on so I can get paid. But that's about it. Hmmm...
June, I wish I could use my laundry but the kitties are in there with their... stuff (food, etc) and they tend to jump on things. That's all I'd need is babies with kitty prints in GHSP! hahaha
Glad to hear your back. Sounds like you got some good buys. Now about cleaning your room. I could come and help. Do you have doll items in it? I could do one for me ,one for you How does that sound? HA! HA!
At this point I "might" be game for that. Yes, it's mostly kits so I'm sure you might even do a-- 2 for me and 1 for you thpe of thing-- hahaha
Finally got my daughter to clean up her room and pick up her clothes off the floor. I was suppose to start taking stuff out of my shop and putting it in her room for now, however... had a meeting this morning, then had to get a tire repaired but come back later cause they were full, price tires for 2 vehicles, blah blah. By then I was pooped out. Been on the computer im'ing my daughter in Denver about stuff regarding her pregnancy. She sent me ultrasound pics of the tiny little bean. We call it Lil Bean cause she's just 3 mos along and we dont know the sex of it yet. So it's been an uber busy day. Oh yeah, then i went out and took pics of the baby llama hair (see posts in artist and rooting)
I have been flat out for three days, my nice clean laundry for reborning is full again.I started paiting Thur, got one with it's skin tone and lips, one with skintone , veins, shadinf and lips and the other on was Naomi that I had forgotten that I had in the oven, she was baking for I realy don't know how long. A tractor guy came and I had to go down the back yard, then I decided, I'd pull out more pants from Zanes caravan spot (Garden) then I was exausted, so decided to do dinner( evenin g meal ) rememberd Naomi was in the oven, Had dinner then started to think about painting again, decided no, I'd get all the Babies cleaned up, dressed, ready for the expo thingy, anyway before I knew it, it was 2am, went to bed, up at 7am, packed the car, off to get cards printed set up table, there may have been about 40 people come through the door, but I could have at least four interested in doing a class. Mid Dec.............Got home at 7 pm, Zane, Nicole and Girls arrived, up at 7am >>>AGAIN

You are always such a busy woman June. All I've done for this week is go to drs and therapy. Oh yes, I did take a day off to go to a church dinner fundraiser 3 hours away but I did all the driving there and back. And I actually did make another ring, last Friday I got all the sapphires set. 5 of them in a channel. They do look lovely and are different colors. Yellow, light pink, med blue, dark pink, and med green. I'll try to post a pic as soon as I can get a good close-up. haha
But June you are always doing or going or busy with the grands or Sam (hope he is doing better), etc...
Just got back from dentist, he had a bottom tooth removed today, I am getting tired, but I did manage to get him out to start the rideon mower, and he did the front yard yesterday. I have to do along the front fenceline with the push mower, as there is a garden started and trees planted, no fence up yet. I'd love to see the ring, it sounds so nice. Over her they have rings with 7 different colours, it means something, but I'm braindead at the minute. XXXXXXX june.
