call for pattern matchers

Reminds me of the note we put on a car once that had taken up four parking spots: "I'm sorry I hit your car. I was trying to squeeze into the space next to you and I scraped it up. I don't have any insurance, so I really don't want to leave my name, but I just wanted you to know how sorry I was."

Then you find a place to hide and watch them come back and walk around their car 20 times looking for where there car got scratched up.

GMTA. It works for other things, too. With compulsive housekeepers, wipe off an end table before putting something on it. Discretely wipe a fork with your napkin. Drives them nuts. ;-D

You know what I think? I think you don't sew at all, you just like the company of those of us who do. ;-> Am I right?

ROTFLOL! I think I'll write that up, scan it, and make multiple copies to leave for the car-owners who think if they park right in the middle of two slots they can protect their little beauty from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

Uh, so I shouldn't come for a visit any time soon? I KNOW Sharon would never pull that on me.

Sorry, for "GMTA" to apply, first you have to demonstrate that you have a "mind" which "thinks". ;->

I don't sew much anymore, that's true. I tend to sew that which I can't buy, or which I can't find quite what I want. Like the pillowcase I made for my wedge pillow. The grocery totes from this great remnant I found at Savers. I searched the house for the black webbing that I knew I had.....somewhere......and was thrilled when I actually found it. But I haven't done regular clothes for some years now. Of course, I don't wear regular clothes anymore. I did make some nightgowns.....some of madras for summer, really cool, and some flannel for winter. Pillow covers for the couches. But mostly I like reading and listening and stirring the pot a bit from time to time.

Back to your sewing room, woman! You have plaids to match!

Aha, just as I suspected!

We all do that...

Like perfectly matched paisley or Glen Plaid jackets? I just couldn't find one *anywhere*.

Now the truth comes out.

And you do that very well! "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble..." You could embroider that as a motto for your "sewing room".

A strange lethargy has settled over me. I had a largish group here for dinner yesterday, and until I get everything cleaned up and back to "normal", I just can't get motivated to sew.

It could be worse. When my mother did that, she went to bed for a week afterward.

LOL Who me???? I mean I did just about fall out of my chair when I read the plan.

Actually, I'd just be too busy hoping you didn't notice the tomato plant stains on my clothes. LOL They're starting to get ripe out there. Mmmmmmmmm

Fresh, ripe tomatoes that taste like tomatoes? Smell like tomatoes? You are sooooo lucky! My little Romas are growing, and I have hopes. They seem to do as well here as anything. Early Girls just aren't quite the same as Big Boys and we don't have a long enough growing season for the Boys most years. I do have a peach tree that is in need of thinning

- we'll have to prop up branches this year. Freestone peaches, very tasty! When they're ripe, the skins slip right off without parboiling.

Fresh tomatoes and Freestone peaches! Oh my, they sound delicious! The ones in the stores are just not the same flavor.

In a good summer, we are in pig heaven here. ;-) We get peaches only about every two or three years, though. A late frost after the tree blooms ensures that there are none. Some people put old outdoor Christmas tree lights in their fruit trees, and if there is a frost warning, they turn them on. It works. It works so well that all the old outdoor lights got bought up several years ago. It's partly my fault, I told some people about it. I've heard there are good tomatoes at the farmer's market - growers from California bring them up, nice and fresh. I haven't gotten around to going yet.

C'mon Sharon, we both know you are just way too nice to ever pull that stunt. ;-)

Yum! My DD plant a really nice vegatabel garden each year, and they always have too many tomatoes, so I get lots of theirs, starting any day now.

Very true, darn it! I bought lovely large store tomatoes so I'd have hamburger-sized slices for the picnic Saturday. They were gorgeous, but might as well have been printed on cardboard for all the taste they had.

Well......OK. I wouldn't. But I am not above giggling if Joanne did it. LOL

Well let's see..... Today I only picked a handful of green beans. In a couple days I will have probably a gallon of them. I have already frozen 2 gallons. (I don't can. I freeze. So much easier.) I have about a gallon in the fridge too....waiting patiently for me to come deal with them.

I have about the same amount of zucchini in the freezer already. I have 3 of them in the fridge right now. I will have 4 more over the next few days and about 10 more by the end of next week most likely. (they are tiny right now.)

My snap peas are coming back. They had been producing wonderfully, then we had a week of days at or near 100*F. That was too much heat for the peas. So they started to die back a little. It's cooled off some this past week. So they are blooming again. :)

Tomatoes: I have two Better Boys, two Romas, two cherry, two yellow pear and one Lemon Boy. All of them are loaded with fruit in various stages of ripening, and most are blooming too. Today I picked 2 lemon boys, one better boy, one roma and a handful each of cherry and pear.

Sometime too in the next week or so, I will have EIGHT eggplants. They are getting bigger by the hour it seems. :) Oh, and I will have green bell peppers this week too.

And we got rain this week so I don't have to drag the hose out there to water! yay!!!
