HE and SHE
I love all textile mediums, I began this journey as a quilter. The art of quilting taught to me by my beautiful Grandmother, Dorothy. She also taught me how to crochet and I have since learned how to knit.

Labor Day
Labor Day
here I sit at the very beginning of a 3 day weekend ... basking in the glow of endless possibilities for fun and adventure.
Awwww, I love a 3 day weekend but Labor Day isn't about the 3 day weekend ... it is about the achievements of our American Workforce
The vital American workforce of labor has added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership – the American worker.

Game Night
Game Night
I am fortunate enough to say that I grew up in a family who loves to play games.
Board games, card games ... you name it we love to play games!
A few years ago I was part of a group that played mahjongg every Thursday night. We rotated hosting responsibilities and it was just a fun group. We played together for years but like all good things it fizzled out and I haven't played mahjongg regularly for years now and I have missed it.
While a regular mahjongg player I had the pleasure of teaching all of my children how to play and when they are home they will take mercy on me and play a few rounds.
A lady that I work with saw a post of mine about mahjongg and she contacted me about playing. Me, my daughter, her friend, and my friend for work set up a date to play and then the pandemic hit and we weren't able to gather together to play.
I'm happy to say that this past Sunday afternoon we all got together ... with masks and hand sanitizer ... and enjoyed an afternoon of mahjongg.

Just A Few More Things ...
Just a few more things regarding cleaning house ... sort of ...
It is my goal to clean up my eating habits and to exercise daily. Both of which can be difficult when working 2 jobs but I do think it is still possible.

Cleaning House
... sort of ...
I've decided to focus on making better choices ...
Such as, it is my goal for the month of September to take a break from social media. I will still be posting here on my blog but I feel I spend to much time on Facebook and Instagram. I feel that both have become negative and toxic places at the moment. I've also decided to clean up my eating habits and focus on exercising more. I need to work on some positive habits and lessen the negativity from outside sources that I have allowed into my daily life.
That being said, I have my trusty sewing room and a few projects to help me focus on my goals.
