The war in the Pacific is fascinating and so much of the time gets looked on as the secondary (and therefore less important) theater of the war. My Navy husband chose to re-enlist on Pear Harbor Day and the CO spoke about carrying on the legacy for those who lost their lives on that day. It is the only re-enlistment day that we remember any details of or the actual day of. It was also the first outing of our week old son. He became a Marine.Deb Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553006546291452088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70033057310969987592020-12-08T10:03:33.663-05:002020-12-08T10:03:33.663-05:00Super idea!

So, I now use them for stuffing in lots of things as well as doggy/kitty beds. I just finished a crocheted lap pillow and it is stuffed with scraps.

You can also make kennel mats from larger pieces of the "what was I thinking" pile :-). I make dog beds from trimmings but started adding scraps as well. Shelters are happy, animals are happy and I am less stressed and therefor happy.

You’d sell all of them quickly and perhaps you would initiate another sew along with folks using their own orphans and crumbs or one of your packets. I bet we’d see some spectacular quilts.

Perhaps your husband could take a picture of your house with his drone. Bet it would be pretty.

What a dream machine! Because of that I made my grandson his Christmas stocking ( a tradition I started a few years ago, stockings for all in the family) Then I finished the flimsy for a QAL I did with Fat Quarter shop and Pat Sloan. It was tough, because I started with my ailing Brother that finally gave up the ghost midway through. :( <br />Now I am on a roll!claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-66568564503831512362020-12-07T13:47:32.591-05:002020-12-07T13:47:32.591-05:00I bet you are just elated that your grand daughter...I bet you are just elated that your grand daughter will be home for Christmas!

He was at work when the attack began. My grandma and my dad sheltered in an inside closet in their house. My dad turned 16 two days later. He had a box of bullets that he dug out of his bedroom floor.
