You ask?

Dawn? Why do you keep changing your blog design? Well, I really like the new blogger templates and I had a great one in place, however it makes my ancient computer run so slow, that I just couldn't take it anymore! It is difficult enough to find time to fit in the designing I want to do, the blog is unfortunately not getting the time it deserves! So I would rather craft, and post than learn how to speed my computer and work on the blog design. Sad but true!

Don't you just love the pic of Rusty and Sophia?

How long does it take me to do anything?

No photo tonight...I have been working on the blog header. I just cannot seem to get satisfied with it. I like this though. It says a bunch, quite simply.

My patriotic block is coming along nicely, I will likely finish it tomorrow.

Have you checked these blogs lately? Red Geranium Cottage She has been quite busy and hosting a new swap to boot! Also I just found jump up and down. This gal has some great ideas too!

"B" is for Blog - original I know

"B" is also for blue, not my favorite color. So, this letter thing is not necessarily my idea of fun blogging. But I will go with it for awhile. So, I decided to part with my MANY MANY vintage sewing patterns. At one time I thought I would try to make some of these great styles, but I will not be sewing clothes unless it is my own pattern, (for myself anyway.) I cannot alter a pattern to fit my curves for all the tea in China. The biggest decision was how to sell them, Ebay, Etsy or what? Stay tuned for that update.

Last night I spent some time catching up on my favorite blogs and I want to strongly suggest you check them out. These women are amazing, inspiring, and interestingly refreshing! Turkey Feathers ----- Jen Duncan ----- That silly 'lil doe ----- are just a few.
