Hi everyone,
I don’t know how the day got away from me, but it did and now I’m sitting here at the computer at 11:27pm trying to think of something to share. I have my guest bed full of things… fabrics, bundles of fabric, books, a few dolls, trims and laces, purses, pillows, etc… that I’m wanting to sell. My hubby told me to just try and list 3 things a day. Well, I did… and 2 of them sold on the forum “Selling My Sewing Stuff.” It’s a forum for any kind of sewing things you might have for sale…and I wanted to give it a try. My 2 items were “claimed” by the same person, and she sent me her email address and zipcode. I put the 2 items in a box and weighed them, then went to Paypal and requested the money from her. I’m not sure if that was the way it was supposed to be done, or if I was supposed to get her name and send an invoice… she hasn’t responded, but maybe she went to bed and will answer me in the morning. I’m not very techy and trying out something new, that involves something I don’t ordinarily do, is tricky for me. I hope it works out. I only listed the 2 items on there just so I could be sure I was doing it right and here it is the first sale and I’m already second guessing myself. Oh well, she had a nice name… I hope she’s as nice as her name sounds! :o) The other items I listed were the cloth Hallmark Bicentennial dolls in the house boxes. They went on Ebay as a Buy It Now.
I took all the swimsuits off my Ruby Reds and got them back in their stands and in the dolly cabinet. I had them laying everywhere.
Joy sent me a picture of a flower in her backyard and said this about it:
One of my Orchid Cacti just bloomed. That is my hand/wrist at the top of the pic holding it so I could snap a pic. This is one that my mother-in-law had and should be re-potted as they grow from pot-to-pot or down hillsides in their native areas like South America. It’s really a beauty. I have a friend in southern France that has a lot of them.

The color is beautiful and reminds me of my wedding bouquet. It had Sonia roses in it… almost that exact same color.
Okay, now for another question that was asked a while back in one of my posts. I wrote them down and have been trying to answer them every so often…
Rosemary saw this picture of my sewing room when I was cleaning it up and asked if the window looked into my living room…
Yes, Rosemary, there is a big opening that used to be a window with glass panes in it that looks out into my living room. It was where the previous owner, (a music teacher), stored all of her sheet music. When we first looked at the house, I claimed this room as my sewing room. I love it because I can still carry on conversations with my hubby or others even when I’m sewing.
It didn’t always look this nice though. My sewing room was actually a porch that was added onto our 1892 house. So, the siding on my wall there is actually the old siding from the outside of the house. I decided to paint it and use it on the inside as a feature wall.
Here is what it looked like when we were remodeling my sewing room a few years ago. The ceiling isn’t curved like it looks like in the first picture. I was using a panoramic setting to get the whole wall in. Once we started renovating the room, it seemed like it went from bad to worse. Everything was a disaster in there!!
Yep, that’s a hole to the outside you see there. There was NO insulation in that wall so my hubby was fixing it.
Well, enough of the ugly pictures…
This is what it looks like from the living room side. This picture was taken a few years ago too. I just LOVE where my sewing room is!
I’ll see everyone tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
