Happy Easter, to you!

Happy Easter!

I LOVE the toy store scene! How can you go wrong with tap dancing and drums??

Happy Easter to you!

Tofurkey!

So, I get to make the bird this year and I'm pretty excited...however, I just can't stop thinking about / laughing uncontrollably at this episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. Seriously, it drops me to the floor and brings me to tears every time.

I think my favorite part is when Robert asks for the leg and his facial expressions pretty much through the whole scene.

Hope it this brought a smile to your face as you're scurrying around preparing for tomorrow!

Enjoy this day before Thanksgiving!

If only I lived in a fairytale...

So, last night while I was cleaning up a little bit in my sewing zone, I threw the movie Tangled in. You see, I've always enjoyed a good Disney movie. Anyhow...I watched this portion numerous times because it simply amazed me...



You see...
1) she cleaned her tower top to bottom complete with waxing the floors in 15 min

2) She baked a pie and then later on she made cookies and still wears a dress size -4

3) She read the same books twice (they looked like long ones too!)...if her "mom" is going to keep her locked up in that tower, the least she could do is hook the girl up with an e-reader and a library card!

4) I estimate that in another 3-7 days she's going to run out of walls / ceilings to paint.....then what??

5) How many hours are in her day and why has the girl not yet learned to quilt??

Enjoy the clip! If your're feeling adventurous, watch the whole movie sometime...it's pretty cute :)

How can you not laugh?

Last night when I was sewing, I watched some Everybody Loves Raymond. I've discovered that people either love that show or hate it...me, I LOVE it! I actually personally own all 9 seasons. I can't imagine my life without Frank and Marie, Robert (and Amy) and of course, Ray and Debra. So, here's what had me rolling on the floor laughing last night.


I'll be back with some pictures but I'll give ya some time to recover from the laughter.
Enjoy!

The corn is as high as an elephants eye....

On my little drive to ride horse the other evening, I noticed the corn. I saw if and I felt it...yes, seasonal allergies. Of course, with my fascination with musicals, this song has been stuck in my head ever since.
Don't ya just love mornings this time of year? Beautiful, sunny and starting to cool off.

Oklahoma! is one of the greats in my opinion. I especially love "the farmer and the cowman should be friends" which brings me to another post on barn raising scenes in musicals which I will save for later.

Enjoy the beautiful day!

Time again....

During the month of July, I've spent a majority of my time at the community theatre playing in the pit for their summer presentation of Gypsy. 4-7 hours a night, 5-7 days a week. A ton of rehearsing and 8 public shows. Needless to say, on Saturday when it closed I had this empty, bittersweet, feeling. I now have time again. Time again to sew. Time again to weed my flowers. Time again to ride horse. Time again to cook, exercise and attempt to eat health, and time again to blog. In memory of my time spent with Gypsy, I share with you one of my favorite parts....there are a lot of favorites, don't worry, I'll share more :)



Also, here is a REALLY cute new kit...I think I need it :)

I will be back SOON!

Cure for Spring Fever: Idea #4

Treat your sewing machine to something springish...here are some ideas-



NEW Bright, fun flannels



Fun, fresh kit....the picture isn't that great, but the fabrics are
modernish florals...very cute :)

I also would recommend watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers while sewing up something springish for your home..pay special attention to the "Spring, Spring, Spring" song.



Springish thread...can you go wrong?

I love the quilted skirts...However, I'm not sure just how practical the white skirts are when tromping around a spring barnyard! I tend to choose old jeans, rubber muck boots and a zip up sweatshirt when I play outside in the sping!

 

PS: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers just may be my favorite musical....that's saying a lot because you all know just how much I love the Sound of Music!

Happy Spring Sewing!

I'm never in the right place at the right time...

To cheer you on this cloudy, gray winter day-

For some reason, I'm never quite manage to witness stuff like this:

(After the commercial that is :) )

I love the expressions some of the unsuspecting onlookers have...and all of their phone cameras/camcorders.

I wonder where I was when all this was going on...talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time!!

Hopefully this made all you Sound of Music junkies like me smile:)
