Who knew?

Who knew?...

Who knew?  What you ask?  Me actually!

I am amazed everyday how many things I know and how many more I don't!  I have been sewing and quilting for decades, yet this week I discovered I don't know squat about presser feet!

Every day there is something new to learn and I find that exciting and fun.  
What else is exciting and fun??  Lots of things... here are just a few and why:

Gardening:  I grew up with a front yard that was a vegetable garden instead of a lawn. My mom grew all sorts of veggies and flowers in that little city lot! Now I have a huge vegetable garden, many flower gardens, raspberries, etc, etc, etc. I never have quite enough time for all the work involved, but I do my best. I also love canning and freezing all the goodies I grow.



Photography:  I became hooked on photography many years ago. I took my first class when I was in elementary school during the summer. It was all black and white on my 110mm camera! How funny is that? I realize I have aged myself and my kids will have to google 110mm cameras, but oh well! I enjoy the challenge of composing that perfect shot. 



Glampers:  If you are unfamiliar with "Glamping", let me introduce you.  Glamping is Glamorized Camping.  A Glamper is a glamorized camper!  I am in the process of glamorizing a 1974 Airstream Argosy trailer named Shirley. I don't have any new pictures to share... she is a work in progress that is going slowly. I truly enjoy all the hard work I have been putting into her restoration. So far it has challenged me to learn electrical systems, plumbing, hvac, aluminum repair, riveting, laminate floor installation, countertop building and so much more! I am DYING to get to the part where I get to finally sew all the curtains and cushions. It has been hard to hold back, but I use it as the carrot to keep me moving on the boring stuff no one will see.

I hope you have enjoyed a little peek into my hobbies,
Jo

River's Bend

River's Bend is a collaborative effort between myself and my son Ryan.  It is a great way to feature those vertically inclined prints that you hate to cut apart into pieces.
