Been Awhile

Wow, I didn't realize how long it has been since I made a post. Guess the warm weather has made it here because I've been outside quite a bit. The hay fields are growing (yeah) and the animals are happy to have grass to eat.

We took two of the horses to the trainer last weekend. I'm headed over there today to see how things are going. We had a huge snowstorm on Monday, so she didn't ride Monday through Wednesday. Hopefully she is riding them now.

I haven't gotten too much sewing done in the last few weeks. I did get the cuffs on the shirt I have been making. The only thing left to do is hem the bottom and put some crystals on the collar and cuffs. It turned out pretty good. I've got some more fabric to make a few more. I've been taking classes at the LQS on my new/used machine. They offer owners classes for free, which is really nice. I've had two classes and I've got two more to go. The next two are for learning how to use the embroidery unit on my machine. Yoohoo, I can't wait. I've been waiting to embroider, but I don't know how on this machine. Thursday I took a class on the software I can use to embroider with my machine. It was a good class because I learned alot about the things I can do. I've played with it a couple of times, but didn't have much luck. Now I know what I was doing wrong. While in class I fixed the quilt label I had created for my dad's quilt. Now I'll be able to get it stitched out and sew it on for him.

Speaking of my dad, I think he is on his way home from Florida. He has been down there for a month and a half. Him and one of his buddies from the U.P. go every year. They stay around Naples. This year they took a boat trip down to Key West. They were talking about stopping in Gainesville on their way home. Hopefully they didn't get mixed up in the horrible weather that has been happening in GA, TN and various other states.
