Trying to get back to normal

Well, the funeral was yesterday, the church festival this weekend, tomorrow is Joseph's birthday/death date. Hopefully, life will return to normal soon.

En route to Houston, the car was shimmying a bit, more so after the burial on the way to the reception. Luckily, we pulled into a Walmart and had a tire replaced due to tread separating and the tires are only 2 years old. Thank God, it happened while the kids were at my in-laws. We pulled in to our driveway about midnight, so I am feeling it now.

The kids are all bathed and watching tv, so they will go to bed soon and so will we...

Sounds like you need to draw a bath, light a candle, get your favorite drink and relax for a while. Hope things go better for you.

Sound like a rough time. I hope that you can move through the sadness that is surrounding you and have some peace soon.

I'm glad you made you way home safely and got the tyre changed before anything happened.

On a different note, I put something in the mail for you little while ago. I hope it will make it's journey to you (on the other side of the world!) safely.

Is it oppressive?

Not much sewing going on here, but I have been cruising the internet more than usual and was not feeling well today. I came across a post on a blog today (Gertie) about whether vintage clothes are oppressive, going backwards. I do not think this at all, I think it is individuality, flattering and enhancing the feminine look, wishing for simpler life and times, and probably other ideas out there. I also believe men and women are different, but capable of being equals in various ways, but there are things that are inherently male and female. Different but equal. And have no problem with dressing up the physical to be attractive. Not to the extreme, but to look neat, appropriately dressed, made-up. I am not a feminist in the traditional sense, I am a stay at home mom with kids. I believe the differences are good. Now, I do believe in equal pay for equal work, but does that mean I want to do the heavy industrial physical work? No, but I know some women will and can. If they are c...

Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
