Wow July Already!!

My Grandson Ryan just had his 3rd Birthday! My Grandson Jaden's Birthday is next month and he is going to be 5! They grow up so fast!

Latest sewing projects, casserole carriers. The round ones hold up to a 3 quart round or square casserole dish and the rectangle one I designed to fit my Pyrex covered 13" x 9" Dish.

These are available in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5599084
I also have these available for sale at the Country Lane General Store in Auburn, Indiana

I searched and searched for a normal round casserole dish but could not find any I know I used to have one and don't know what happened to it. Wal-Mart carries them but all they have are Rachael Ray or Paula Dean, I just wanted a normal pyrex, corningware etc. 2 or 2.5 quart. I even checked the local goodwill and salvation army stores and still no luck.


I finally found one from a fellow etsy seller, ModishVintage, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5462461 whew! It was $24 including the shipping cost, I just could not see the sense in buying one and paying high dollars for it just because someone famous had their name attached to it!!

Believe me this one will not be let out of my sight for anything I love it, Thank you ModishVintage!!

June Busy Month

Graduation party for my youngest son, what a struggle the last four years have been for both of us to get through. But we made it, now on to college to be a automotive tech.

Still having garden flooding issues, we finally traced the water back to our neighbors yard. Oldest son dug up where the water was coming from, broken tile. Called the city out, not their responsibility, not one of their lines? Not sure what this tile is for, maybe old field tile before they built houses here, but it seems to run off in different directions. We even called out some drainage expert only $1800 for them to run a system around our back yard, not even going there! We set up a sump pump inside a plastic garbage can and buried that in the lowest part of the garden. Had a lot of rain yesterday and the garden had some standing water in it, had to go out and clean out the some of the ditches we had dug to help the water run into the sump pump. Got up this morning and no standing water! By this afternoon it was getting pretty well dried out, thank goodness since I had to re-plant most of it, this time though everything was planted in raised beds. I probably would have sat down and cried (again) if everything was drowned out.

My biggest fan and supporter of my sewing, my Grandson Ryan. He has more interest in my sewing then any of my kids.

Watching and learning how to wind a bobbin, and loving on Mammaw!
