Let's Dance

"Life may not be the party we hoped for.....but while we are here we might as well dance."

Aspire to Inspire before you Expire............

Life is Short

Love the people who treat you right..........
Forget about the ones who don't..........

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says........"Oh no......she's awake."

About Me

Sharie - Moss Bluff: Southwestern Louisiana, United States; I am a native of the state of Iowa, lived in California for 29 years and am now living in Louisiana being entertained by Jack (my dog) and 2 kitty cats. Quilting and designing for me is great fun, provides me with brain stimuli and socialization with all my quilting friends. ----------------------------- The picture above by: CMP Captured Memories Photography - Moss Bluff, LA - 337 855 9197 - cmpphoto@bellsouth.net - www.cmpphotos.com

The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

Singer Sewing Book 1949 by Mary Brooks Picken

Prepare yourself mentally for sewing. Think about what you are going to do...never approach sewing with a sigh or lackadaisically. Good results are difficult when indifference predominates. Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade. When there are ugent housekeeping chores, do these first so your mind is free to enjoy your sewing....When you sew, make yourself as attractive as possible. Put on a clean dress. Keep a little bag full of French chalk near your sewing machine to dust your fingers at intervals. Have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on...If you are constantly fearful that a visitor will drop in or your husband will come home and you will not look neatly put together, you will not enjoy your sewing as you should.

Stash

If you are a quilter you will understand the term "stash." If not, it is all the accumulated fabric that quilters buy with the intention of using at sometime in the future. Fabric, we cannot live without, we stock it up and stash it away.

GENEALOGY - SURNAMES I AM RESEARCHING

I am looking at Carlisle, PA. The Crago/Craigo's were in that area before and after the Revolutionary War. I am presently doing research on the McGahey/McGahee/McGaughey line. They happened to be in Carlisle, PA also and may be related to my Crago's. According to DNA they come close. Anyone doing Crago or McGahey research I would appreciate it if you would contact me through my email. Thanks a bunch..............
