Betty Jo and Dawn, belated happy birthday to both of you. Continued celebrations to you Betty Jo. Dawn, sorry about the fridge, what a pain. I have been there with the hair dryer, buckets and mops, towels etc. That's not a fun way to spend your birthday. I hope you are taking a day today in lieu of it?

My Go Baby arrived this week a couple of the dies were back ordered but I did get the tulip so I can play I want to be ready when I need Heather Feather

Thanks so much everyone! I have had a wonderful birthday. Dawn, I hope you can really celebrate now that the fridge is fixed and the towels washed. Personally, I like to celebrate for at least a few days.

Happy Birthday to both Dawn and Betty Jo!

Thank you all for the birthday well wishes. I would like to say I spent the day sewing, as that WAS the plan. But alas, life got in the way! We have a 'frig that has been getting noisier and noisier, and running longer and longer, and this morning when I took some bread out of the freezer to make toast, it was soft. Not a good sign! Then when I looked way in back of the freezer, there was quite a build up of frost. (It is a frost free model and only 4 years old.) To make a long story short and simple, the freezer had frozen up! We spent the day taking it apart (DH is an engineer) and thawing it with hair dryers. Ice was 2 to 3 inches thick all across the backside, hidden behind a metal panel. The temp sensor connections had shoddy workmanship, right from the factory, but is now all put back together, and done RIGHT this time. And, the last load of towels (from sopping up ALL that melted ice) are washed and now drying. NOW I can sew! If I don't fall asleep first!

Happy Birthday, Dawn and Betty Jo. Lotti, your new photo is beautiful. I must post a new one of me too, if I can get someone to take a good one!

Those tornadoes are awful, heart-wrenching to see the photos of the damage. It's early for tornadoes, too, so no one was expecting this.
I'm saying prayers for all in the area. TQS'er's keep safe!

Happy Birthday Betty Jo, and Dawn.

Happy Birthday, Dawn & Betty Jo. Lotti, love your new picture. Lois

Happy Birthday Betty Jo and Dawn. Betty Jo, enjoy your new gift. Dawn I wish I had a friend who would loan me their Go.
Lotti, I like you new picture.
We were safe from the tornadoes, but my grandchildrens' school closed for the day yesterday just to be safe. After the damage on Wednesday we were all scared. There was one tornado about 20 miles away from my home, but no lives lost there. We did lose a couple of shingles off our roof from the high winds. I am so thankful for being safe, but am praying for the ones who were not so lucky.

Love the new pic, Lotti ! Take a breather..stitch a stitch !

thank you renata - having a bit of a time at work - mostly working 12 hour days and longer so generally just home to sleep and wash - but catching up tonight - hopefully doing some sewing tomorrow - have 20 of our distributors from latin america arriving during the day tomorrow and am on standby if they have problems - then their sales training all next week - fun fun fun
have just heard/seen news the first time this week - hope everyone out there in tornado country is ok - horrible pictures i've been seeing - am praying for all

Happy birthday girls!

Good to "see" you, Lotti! Did not see you online for a few days... missed your postings! Great photo too! Renata
