reddy

I"m in Central Texas so "Rita" isn't coming over me - I might get rain(which my garden really needs).  The wind has picked up here but otherwise nothing yet - I hate waiting - I really hate it

all of the hotels here are full.  a place 20 miles as the crow flies has a hospital that closed down that is now open & full of people from the coast.  I know one store here is out of gas - I haven't heard about others - I'm staying home

I did finish another afgan - I think James is going to take it - it was suppose to be a present for a couple in upstate New York but since the guy moved up there I don't hear from him anymore so I have no addy to send it (with the white part I'm sure James will get it stain before long)

My good sewing machine is still in the shop.  It has been there for over a month - it just needs a belt & the parts people keep sending the wrong part.  It is a Kenmore so it is a special belt & I learned to sew on the machine - it is at least 25 years old - I don't recomment buying anything from sears anymore.

I did get some new patterns - McCall's since hancock's had them on sale for 99 cents each (limit 5) #4125, 4090,4107, M4696, M4864
All but the first one is Renaissance costumes - the first one is doll accessories
I love making costumes - Iwish I could go places where you can dress up more often
