Busy, but no quilting

I spent yesterday steam cleaning rugs.  With the adult children and grandchildren gone, I'm finally doing some spring cleaning.  They finally found an apartment and moved into their own place.  I hope that today after I go get a hair cut I will be able to sit and sew.
Hubby and I were discussing making the basement into a sewing room for me.  I would get a 12' by 20' area(more or less).  I hope that it will be enough space to set up my mid arm and sewing studio.  That way if one of the children has to move back in, then I still have a sewing studio.  I may have problems with the stairs but at least I'll be able to wash my fabric and have everything in one location instead of in two rooms where every thing is crowded.   Something to think about and play around with some design options.  We will need to put some more lights in as there is only one in there now for the whole area.  I'll take some pictures as soon as Tim gets the rest of his stuff out.  That way I can see what I have to work with.

Sorry about that

I started a post last night and as I was finishing it, my computer decided that I needed to up date.  Boom!  Everything is gone, teaching me a very valuable lesson.  Save your work.  I don't remember what I wrote about and have no clue how to get it back.  Hubby says that it is gone for good and not to worry.  I will find something else to write about.
I do remember that the title was no sewing week.  It talked about the weird week I had last week.  It was very weird. 
Saturday(July 6th), my ex-husband showed up.  We haven't seen him in over 15 years.  He rides up on a motorcycle and asks if my older son lives here and if he can give him a motorcycle.  DH comes in and looks at me and my son and says "there is some guy outside and he wants to give you a motorcycle Tim".  We both look at him like he just hit his head or something.  We all go out and I look at the guy and say to DH and Tim that it looks like my ex.  He has decided that he wants to give Tim his bike and he stops and visits for 6 hours.  Then he looks at Tim and asks for a ride home as he lives 2 hours away.  Tim takes him home.  We find out later that ex may be dying and has decided to leave everything to Tim, which is a motorcycle.  I can deal with this.
Younger Son (Tony) lets his best friend borrow his truck to go to work.  He drops Tony off at his job and goes to work.  His friend gets out of work early.  He is supposed to drop the truck off on his way home.  Instead he decides to go out drinking.  He is not supposed to drink if he has Tony's truck.  My DIL hears a crash and calls 911.  She walks outside to see what has happened.  It's 10ish and she starts toward the crash site.  Tony's friend staggers up with some other guy and tells DIL that he is so sorry.  She keeps asking him for what.  He finally tells her that he trashed their truck.  She stands there dumbfounded and he takes off.  Nobody has seen him since.  He did call and apologize for totaling the truck.  He won't tell anyone where he is as he knows that he will be spending some time behind bars.  The truck is totaled.
For some reason I can't seem to sit and sew.  I hope that this week will be better.  I have stuff to finish for our guild show in September. 

Happy 4th of July!

We are enjoying the fireworks around us, as we have a river and a lake within half a mile from us.  We can just sit and watch out the picture window in the living room or go and sit with the mosquitoes outside.  I'm happy to sit inside with the air conditioning and no bugs!  The dogs are sleeping and shouldn't have to go out for a little while.  We do have a fenced yard but I have 1 maybe 2 that have jumped the fence.  Hopefully it will quiet down soon and we can take our night romp through the yard and be done for the night.  It is almost bed time for me and I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep.
