Do I have a deal for you…..Mach 1 spinning wheel
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: July 31, 2008
This is my prized possession, Nola. Sad to say, I’m going to sell her; I find I’m taking it too many places to spin and it’s just too heavy for me to continue that, with the degenerative disc disease in my neck. But I’ve already got another wheel picked out!
Bought her in 5/08; she has [...]

Ah….big golf week-end is over!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: July 28, 2008
Last week-end was the Braves & Squaws tournament at our club. It’s a biggie – well over 200 played in this event. (My husband refers to it as the “Twits and Twats”.)
It was soooo hot; I don’t know how the people that play in the afternoon tee-off time, make it through 18 holes…oh wait, yes, [...]
OH, what a mess I have….duh!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: July 22, 2008
Isn’t this yarn just gorgeous? I took an acid-dyeing class at Enchanted Yarn and Fiber and this was result of what I dyed. I wish I could say the mangled mess is because of EY&F but I can’t! LOL
I have a good friend, Sandra, that lives in Texas and has been known to sit up [...]

If anyone is interested, I know of 2 Mach 1 spinning wheels for sale; one finished with tung oil with 3 bobbins and has a plain back so it can be personalized; the other one is stained a dark brown with Mach 1 on the back side and comes with 1 bobbin.

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
