Well the move is over and we are EXHAUSTED!  I hurt where I did not know there was a place to hurt.  We are over run by bins and boxes....BUT I did manage to find some places on the floor for the bins that were on the bed, so at least we can sleep in the bed tonight.........

Now if I can just get the bins of fabric out of the kitchen tomorrow.  Can't wait to get back to sewing.

The good news is that the toe is healing well-there will be no surgery.  The bad news is 3 more weeks in the fracture cast.  The good news is that the fracture boot protects the break.  The bad news is that I have hit the same foot in the same place several times, but the boot saved the day!

One week left to finish the move and clean out the shop.

Hi Ya'll....well the shop is closed and I am in the process of getting rid of stuff and moving the rest to the home studio.....we won't tell the orthopedic surgeon that I am walking on this broken toe-but what else can I do.   Does anyone have an interest in my big cutting table?  It is 36 X 84" but can be cut down.  It is mounted on two saw horses that are screwed to the top.  It could be cut down and the saw horses moved inward.  I am asking $ 10.00 for it.  The only other thing not sold are the two 4-arm and one 3-arm chrome dress racks, a gold color fancy (large)  tripod for displaying a sign or picture, and a card table.  These items are FREE, but you need to call me right away or email.  There are still a few bolts of apparel fabric that are $ 1.00 per yard.

Thanks and big hugs to all my wonderful customers since 1996 to now.  Hope to hear from some of you now and then.  Also remember that if you have a question you can post it hear or e-mail me and I will be glad to offer my advice.

I will still send out my NEWSLETTERS.  The next on will be emailed in late June.

As soon as things get done with the move, I will start posting my weekly sewing and quilting tips on this  Blog.

Hard to believe this Saturday will be the last day in the shop!  With my foot in the fracture boot and aching, it will be a hard week.....Still have more goodies to put out for the final week of sales.  Almost done hauling my sewing stuff home to the studio. On Sunday people will come to take home the racks and equipment that they have purchased and then we can begin the final cleaning.

For those who are local, please stop into the 2118 address later in June to see the new cool shop that will be renting my old space.  They have some construction to do before they open, but do visit them to say welcome when they open....and while you are there, stop in at Savage's Wood-Burning Pizzaria for salads, hot and cold Subs, and of course PIZZA.

My phone, email etc will remain the same.  The only change is the business address which will now be P O Box 293, New Bern NC  28563

Have a good day and remember....

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS.....IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

Let me hear from you...

JUST WHAT I NEEDED THIS WEEK!!!!!  Started out Monday by ramming my little toe into a piece of furniture....looked down and said 'What the heck is that white thing sticking out of my foot at a 90 degree angle'....- then I realized it was my TOE.  Luckily I had Birkenstock thong sandals on ( I know, I know-the Dr. wanted to know how I could ram my toe when I had  sandals on).  Finally got the shoe unbuckled so I could remove it...thinking maybe the toe was dislocated.   STILL DID NOT HURT - until I tried to push it back where it belonged-then the TOE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID ....ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!.  Off we got to ER treatment at 8 am.  I have a SPIRAL break and they tell me I may need surgery and a pin in the toe....I say I can't deal with that-I am having a GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE.  Off to Orthopedic surgeon who tapes it to it's 'buddy' toe-isn't that cute! and puts me in a fracture boot.  New X-ray shows toe holding on and staying in place so they say no surgery or pin and come back in 2 weeks and STAY OFF THE FOOT.  Yeh-right!!!!

I loooovvveee the pain pills and a good night's sleep.

Our 'STORE CLOSING SALE' continues this week and next week W, Th, F  11 - 5 and Sat 11 - 3.  Other times by appointment.  Final day will be May 18.

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET????  I now have a spiral fracture of my little toe because I kicked a piece of furniture - I even had my Birkenstock sandals on....how did this happen!   Little toe was sticking out at a 90 degree angle!  Going to Orthopedic Surgeon today to see if they need to put in  pin.  I did not need this in the middle of closing the store........Yuck.....very difficult to hobble around and very painful.
