Tidying the house is a pain.
Tidying stas...Hi Von,<br /><br />Tidying the house is a pain.<br />Tidying stash drawers and <br />cupboards is never that. Lots<br />of fun seeing what's there,<br />which usually evolves into<br />lots of "Ohhh!! I forgot about<br />that. Ohhhh!! I really have<br />to stitch that!!!". Etc.<br /><br />You can add my belated <br />congratulations and expressions<br />of admiration and delight to <br />those tendered when you finished<br />A Quaker Study. It really is a<br />beautiful finish and will look<br />wonderful framed and hung where<br />ever you decide to put it. <br /><br />Your baking day was certainly<br />very productive, and I'm envious<br />of the lucky folk at your church<br />who got to enjoy the fruits (er..<br />cookies I mean) of your labors.<br />The cinnamon rolls made my mouth<br />water. I love anything with <br />cinnamon in it. I'll bet the <br />house smelled divine when you<br />were all done.<br /><br />All those wonderful colors in<br />Dinky Dyes Blossoms certainly <br />are a welcome burst of summer<br />during this grey and dreary <br />time of year. Having said that,<br />it was sunny for quite a bit of<br />the day here today, much to the<br />delight of our cats who spent <br />the afternoon sunbathing in the<br />living room. But it was -11<br />Celsius outside this afternoon<br />so bitterly cold in spite of the<br />sunshine. Roll on Spring!<br /><br />Cheers!Crazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768887.post-1134883698768090552010-01-30T16:14:52.924-08:002010-01-30T16:14:52.924-08:00Blossoms is looking gorgeous :) Kirsten looks real...Blossoms is looking gorgeous :) Kirsten looks really cute! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768887.post-85734488097944974612010-01-30T04:03:52.003-08:002010-01-30T04:03:52.003-08:00Von, your WIP is just stunning!!

I love to do it but then I get sick at the thought of just how much I've spent on some of the silks & overdyed cottons that I haven't used yet. <br /><br />I hope Kirsten isn't in too much pain with the new braces! I second Jenna's warning... my brother had to get braces on as an adult because he wouldn't maintain his braces or wear his retainer when he was a teenager.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768887.post-45569901803100196202010-01-29T05:10:45.735-08:002010-01-29T05:10:45.735-08:00I can't wait to get my new organizer like Vonn...I can't wait to get my new organizer like Vonna's!

I had braces - the whole works - for 4 long years. How I hated to have them tightened. My whole mouth felt like it was going to fall out the pain was so bad. Tell her it's worth it.

Beautiful colors and beautiful stitching. Kirsten is adorable! I had braces as an adult and my kids have them, we find motrin to work better than tylenol if she can handle motrin. I think it's an anti-spasmodic and helps with the throbbing a bit more than tylenol. That being said, I'm just a mom and have no medical experience/training other than that I've lived through so there's some unsolicited advice. You know how much that's worth, right? ;-)Chocolates4Breakfast (Terri ~ Boog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08442832426281875869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768887.post-16828154603751204942010-01-27T15:27:35.013-08:002010-01-27T15:27:35.013-08:00Ooooh, very pretty!

Kirsten looks great in braces! Looks like her teeth aren't too bad, so hopefully she won't be in them for too long. You can pass along my stern warning, though, that they all need to wear their retainers after they get the braces off or they will have to go back into braces as an adult, like I did. And believe me, if they think the adjustments hurt as a teen, they have no clue how badly they hurt as an adult, once the teeth are much more firmly rooted!!!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302332969089248814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768887.post-54465912431802767782010-01-27T15:12:10.415-08:002010-01-27T15:12:10.415-08:00It's organizing fun?

I think I could do it as a job :)<br />Poor Kirsten...my Katie can sympathize, although she's really close to getting her metal out and being only a retainer. And I'm dreading that because knowing how she is about her rubber banding, I fear she'll leave the retainer out....ho hum...Vonna Pfeifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483344299817504410noreply@blogger.com
