I want to get a new machine this year, hopefully one with lots of different stitches. I think they're fun to use and can make what yer making look lots more interesting.

With it being so close to superbowl I have to admit I did wonder if there were some disappointed steelers fans when I saw that pic. I wondered if anybody else would pick up on it. Whos everybody rootin for today for that game? I gotta go with the giants only because there are a couple players on there that spent a short time here close at the comm. colllege in Ft. Scott KS...#57 & #90. Otherwise I really guess it doesnt matter. The Chiefs didn't make it again.  SF do you sell your work? I would love to have something like that  ...so I am sure you wouldn't have any trouble finding a market for it. We have a HUGE Arts and Crafts show here the first weekend in Oct. and 25,000 t0 30,000 people show up at it. Everything has to be handmade. Over 550 booths and then there are lots of food. You are so fast and the fabric is gorgeous. Bet it would even look good in Catdaddys truck or on HB bed...unisex . How much would you be able to sell it for if you were to want to sell them? |

Great idea ozarkgirl! We haven't been able to get SF or Buzzy out here to visit so far. Maybe they would consider traveling this direction if makin' some $$$s were involved. There are lotsa' largish craft fairs around the Ozarks in the late summer and early fall. Not as large as the one ozarkgirl mentioned, but large enough to be worth crafters' time, as I understand it. SF could bring her quilts and Buzz could bring her wood-work and some of the other stuff she is so talented at doing, including sewing. They could make HB's place their rest area during the down time between shows.... |

That would be a blast!! We might all have some kind of talent and could contribute to the sale. Little clay hillbillys, quilts, woodworkin, and maybe some figures carved outta wood by "someone" that can run a chainsaw...those are hot items around here!! Catdaddy do ya still have that big ole chainsaw? I don't really have a real artsey talent but you wouldn't believe the people from the city that will buy Hedgeapples, buckeyes, nuts of all kinds, and other stuff from down here in the woods. I LOVE to get out and pick up deer sheds and other wild stuff. |

) whatcha think ? 
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
