You know if there is an opportunity to hate -- or to piss on your parade (is that hater-ish enough?) -- I will be there!! With a chilled glass waiting to be filled from your bottomless vino box.

Where's the rain icon?

You know, we really SHOULD recognize that the inventor of Boxed Wine (last name Angove, I think...something like that) just passed away a couple of days ago.

He was in his 90's, so I went out and bought a truck load of the stuff.....if it was good enough for HIM.........

I edited to put this important information out here for Your perusal. Seriously, I think we should celebrate Boxed Wine~Oh! next year!

Yes, You are....I need a tissue.

Don't kick the Bernina..... :overreaction:

Id love to visit and will do that as soon as I can,with my goofy back it a bit iffy on traveling,tho im suposed to get something done with it before long.

Hi y'all! I am sorry that I wont be down that way at all now. Jim's (cousins husband) sister passed away last night from pancreatic cancer. They left this morning for Georgia.

I will be down that way later this year though. I look forward to meeting up with y'all!

Andie

I'm sorry on both counts......but we'll still be here, Lord willin' and the crick don't rise!

I don't need RSVP's because I don't care how many poodles show up. :walking-poodle:

So far it's me, Diva and Ashton. What's YOUR excuse?

Hey Diva...so, how did your sewing party for the ladies go? I have to say I was pretty entertained by the last few posts here... Were there any sewing needle casualties by drunken seamstresses?! ; ) Were there any sewing party crashers?!

When I was in middle school we HAD to take home economics and part of it was a few weeks of sewing. :doh: Well, I had NO interest in anything like that. I spent a lot of those few weeks doing some major socializing. Our final project was to have a completed apron that we sewed. :eek: :knit: Sooooo...I had to think fast and went straight to the one who I knew would not let me down...that's right...my sweet Grandma. She sewed the entire apron for me. I was relieved! Well, my home ec teacher was more aware than I realized...she wondered how this perfect apron got done so quickly??!! The A work that my grandma did, only got me a C on my apron project.

Anyway, thumbs up to the ladies that can use that machine and needle...

give me some cards, beer, and a grill with my bros and I am good to go. :beerbros:

GAAAAAAAAAAAAWD. My mums (godblessher) was FOREVER trying to teach me how to sew. I even have my grandmother's (or great-grandmother's) cast iron Singer. Completely refurbished. It makes a enchanting humming noise when I make it work. Unfortunately, I usually would rather pluck myself bald-headed than sew.

*perks up at game night*

Jason, sadly, we had to cancel.....so there were no crashers, either! But we WILL reschedule the extravaganza....SOON!

You should be ashamed, having Your Grandmother make that apron! ;) I'm surprised You didn't have to make it in the classroom! When I was in HomeEc, we couldn't take our projects out of the classroom.......she KNEW! :D


And I think it would be fun ANYway for You non~stitchers to come on and just sit and chat.....

I have a project that I MUST finish before Erin Parker gets here in July!:bouquet:

I think a fun thing would be to plan a Femme party at location X and tell EVERYONE then move the party to someplace else and leave video cameras up to record the fun when the crashers find us missing.

Well, umm you see Diva we really weren't 'suppose' to take our projects home either. :| Everything was suppose to be done during class time. So, well, I kind of snuck it home because it wasn't even remotely close to being done or looking like any form of an apron.

You realize, don't You, that there is a little piece of Hell for Apron Fakers....right?


:scared:


I AM curious....what DID it look like?

I wonder what the ratio of boys to girls will be in "Apron Fakers" hell??!! ; )

What did it look like?? Hmmm...well, I do know that if you asked my mom she probably STILL has it somewhere and could show it to you. :rolleyes: It became one of those funny family stories...haha. I think probably what was the funniest about it is that my grandma sewed up this magnificent apron. At the age of 12, I was thinking I had really gotten away with something and was sure to pull in an A with good 'ol grandma's sewing skills. I remember the teacher saying "this sure is a nice apron for someone who did so much talking"??? as she looked directly into my eyes... :innocent:

Oh...I do remember that it was a very bright yellow color. I am sure glad that my middle school home ec story was sooooo entertaining for you ladies! :-P LOL.
