August Friday Night Sew-In Signup!!

Another month has FLOWN by!! Where has this summer gone? I guess all the new job activities on top of keeping my family happy, clean and fed has wiped me out! We also adopted a new doggie (more on him later). AND - I haven't told you, but I quit the first new job and accepted another one instead. It is a much better job working for someone I worked with in AZ for many years. And since it's based out of Arizona that means that I get to work out of my house!! Which will be great this winter and is great for my family. I started this 2nd new job last Monday.

Anyway - let's get to the sign-up for the next Friday Night Sew-In. It is right around the corner.. less than a week away. And I completely plan on sewing something fun this time.

If you need to know how the FNSI works.. click the link above. Otherwise just add your name to the list and start preparing for some F.U.N.

    I've spent this entire week moving everything from my last 2 job assignments into my new classroom...Friday night I am sitting and stitching and nothing else! I'm so glad you have this..what a great excuse to sew!

    With all the business of my daughters wedding I have not even bothered to sign up in a couple of months. Hopefully nothing comes up for the 19th that I do not know about.

    I'm in the middle of painting the house and looking after my best friend who has just had a major surgery. The FNSI couldn't happen at a better time as I really could use some one on one time with my sewing machine!

    My new baby girl is just two weeks old yesterday & I am hoping that by next Friday, I will be feeling up to sewing once again! The FNSI might be just the motivation I need to get back in front of one of my sewing machines. Hope to have something fun to share with you all...
