Meet Me In Seattle! (And Digital Pattern Sale!)

These are my happy feet as I head out to the airport today!

Aren’t these just so cute?  The crazy thing is, they were ridiculously on sale, through some website that I clicked through to find.  I can’t remember the name of the site!  And when these showed up on my doorstep there was no invoice in the package.  A drop-ship from the manufacturer most likely ---in CHINA!

They not only look super quilty, but they are woven elastic so they hug your feet as you walk.  I bought two pair.  One in blue, and these in black. This pair is going back to the land of its birth for a visit. LOL.

A girl who loves her Mary Janes will never get tired of Mary Janes, even into her mid 50s!

There is no label inside to give me a brand name, nothing.  Oh, fabulous shoes – I’d love more of you but I guess the only way to go searching is to scour paypal from whence the charges were applied.

I’m on my way to Seattle.  My job today is just to GET THERE.  The flights were such that if I flew tomorrow, and there was a hiccup at ANY part of my journey from North Carolina to Seattle, that I would likely miss the flight to Beijing.  That happened on a trip to Ireland a few years back, and it is NOT going to happen again.  I’ll go a day early.

The crown is back again where it belongs – I asked the dentist for the “more than 10 day” glue.  He laughed.  I can honestly say living in a place for 10 years really does put down some roots.  And root canals.  And I feel like these people are part of my tribe.  My heart belongs here.

My heart is also going with this….

This is Star Gazing from my book Scraps & Shirttails, which was published in 2008.  I’m not teaching this as a workshop any more, and it has been taking up space in the Quilt Vault.

The Hubster is flying out on Friday to spend a week with his dad who is now under care of hospice.  I am sending my love in this quilt. 

It’s been freshly laundered, fluffed in the dryer, and will squish up fairly flat in the hub’s suitcase.  Both of his brothers are out there in Idaho/Oregon as well, and it will be good for them to all be there together with their dad.  I wish I could be there – but I can’t right now, so I hope this will convey every message I wish it to.

I love all of the recycled plaids in this one, perfect for a very outdoorsy retired farmer who loves to fish.

Color, oh the color!

Why is it that MEN get the patchwork socks??

A 3 pack of fun for under $5.00 at Walmart!

Fits sizes 8 to 12?? 

I have size 9 feet in Womens. That’s close enough. These socks are MINE!  Between the shoes-of-no-name and these socks…I think I’ve got my feet a guaranteed pass to happiness for a while.
