By George..I think I have it!!

I have not been able to post pics here and have been having a somewhat slower internet connection. I realize why.... in order to save over $25 a month, we switched from AOL to AOL powered by Road Runner High Speed. Even though Road Runner promised to have the same internet speed and function, obviously they misinformed me! So.... what to do? Save the $25 a month only to post pics and for less aggravation.... OR..... pay the $25 extra a month for smooth sailing. What to do... what to do?

I soooo wanted to share with you my pics... we have a collection of some wonderful fun! But.....anyhoot....

My quilting playdates are beginning to come along.. and there is quite an interest in the HVSAHM's group I'm in. I will be making a lap quilt for my god-mother and a quilt for Emilia. I have the cutest girly fabrics! I am just having tooooo much fun with the pinks and purples, strawberry shortcake, my little pony and tinkerbelle designs! Someone stop me! PLEASE!

My diapers are becoming popular and people are interested in purchasing them. I set up meetings with them to come to the house and they custom design them. The customers get to pick out the style, colors and what works best for them. One lady said that she actually wants to hire me for the next 2 years!! hee hee!!! I have ordered many cool fabrics and began designing new patterns! WOO HOO! My sewing room has now extended into my kitchen and dining room on my sewing days.... between the bins of fabric, cutting boards, sewing machines and patterns.... I have been using every flat service in the house! The clean up is soooo not fun!

So with this new venture it creates another dilemna... should I purchase a snap press or embroidery machine????.... I know.. the difference in $ between the two is a jump, but I have the $ for either. (I just feel guilty spending almost $400 on an embroidery machine!) I think that the snap press will be more beneficial right now and I could offer either snaps or aplix for my dipes. More options make people happy. BUT I love the look of embroidery, but not loving the price. LIGHTBULB MOMENT.... As I am writing this... I have made my decision.... the snap press.

Well... time for Sunday breakfast and get the griddle griddeling... love these.... it's like a Southern Buffet.... just like when I was growing up!

Hugs to all!
