As for my weekend, well I got *ahem* upset, because my iron fell down into the floor and the tip was badly damaged... Nothing would be worst than that except breaking my sewing machine. So I had a little forced break from sewing... Then, on Monday, I discovered that the iron could be fixed but it would be away for at least two weeks... And I bought a new iron, what else could I do?! It's better than the previous one and I also got a king size pressing table so all my anger was smoothed into satisfaction, lol!Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-24077449030903281592008-04-16T13:11:00.000-04:002008-04-16T13:11:00.000-04:00You and I have been on the same sewing wavelenght-...You and I have been on the same sewing wavelenght-tanks/cardigans.

I was given the E for Excellent award, and felt that I needed to give it to you for all of your inspirational sewing! (And for raising three beautiful daughters. I have three also, and without their brothers to "keep them in line", I'd be nuts by now). If you have already gotten this award, I'm sorry to duplicate, but, as evidenced by all of your comments, I'm not the only one who thinks you are Excellent!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-42982307945534353972008-04-14T20:13:00.000-04:002008-04-14T20:13:00.000-04:00Wow, what a beautiful twin set.
