I was shocked to find that I haven't posted in nearly three months. I am so sorry. My full time job is basically killing me. I'm going to stick it out for 6 months, and then I am out of there. I want to stay just long enough so the girl I listed as my recruiter, will get her $4000 bonus. Bless her heart, she really needs the money. It is taking a serious tole on my health though. I come home every night exhausted and collapse on the sofa. Then wake up in the middle of the night dreading the next day at work. I know this is no excuse for my rude behavior of not sending thank yous and or promised boxes of goodies........please forgive me. I hope to have them out into the mail this week.
Nancy Jo, I still owe you a Christmas apron, and I hope I can get it done in the next couple of weeks. I have not sewn a stitch for three months, until last week, when I made two fairy Halloween costumes for my girls. Nancy Jo, I do love the antique tablecloths you sent to me and the cookbooks! I have your box ready to go out. I hope you like the things I have in it for you. Be careful when you unpack it there are a couple of breakables in there. Both very old and among my favorites! I do hope you enjoy them. Oh, and please send me your address again.....I just can't seem to put my hands on it...my sewing room is a total disaster right now.
Hope to post photos of the girls in their costumes this week.
Miss all of you,
Georgann

Living in Season....August 2008
I've heard of eating in season, going green, etc. But this year we are living in season. It started this spring because our central air conditioning unit is dying a slow death. It is original to this house built in 1984. We have lived her for 7 years and have had to have it repaired every year that we have lived here. It'll cost about eight to ten thousand to replace it, but it has cost us thousands to repair it over the years. So this year we just let it go. We have not turned it on and we live in Virginia...part of the South. It isn't the deep South, but it is hot and humid none the less. Well, we are super heat loving people so we purchased a few window A/C units...they are so different from the ones my folks had...popped them in the bedrooms, my basement studio and the family room. We turn them on as needed. Well so far this season, we have used them, but we don't always turn them on. We have been comfortable...sweated alot more than in years past, but we have also found that the body does adapt. The heat isn't bothering me as bad as in years past. I get up to the sound of the crickets and the morning doves and I can hear the rustle of the deer in the woods....ah it is a lovely sound. I actually feel more in touch with the earth and the sky and the wind. I also feel a bit of a modern pioneer in a sense. All of my neighbors are shut up, sealed up and one can hear the electric whirr and gear changing of their A/C compressors. I'm not braggin, just relating that it really is nice to be changing, to living in season. Oh, and an unexpected benefit? My husband opened the power bill yesterday and announced that we used half of the energy than we used during the same time last year! Now that is a good green feeling!!!
A Wedding Gown I did for a dear friend.
She looked like a fairy princess! That is the look we were going for.
How many friends have stopped by my house?
