Going through my photos. . .

I've been so dud-engrossed lately, I've been neglecting all the other photos piling up on my computer. Just to prove to you that I do more than create sewing disasters, here are a few things that we've been up to:


Last weekend about 25 of us camped at a state park about an hour North of us. Cash was a trooper and slept through the entire night--heavy rains and all. Though, he did cause a bit of an uproar with his incessant nudity.

The weekend before that we spent Saturday night at some friends' for our monthly book club. Doesn't this food-filled picnic table, complete with globe lights hanging from the tree, just make you want to sing?

Shhhh. Don't make any sudden movements. This blog post has been compromised. . . by a dud. The untrained eye might miss this, but if you look right above you you'll see what's known as an fps dud--a freezer paper stencil dud. For someone used to seeing sewing duds, this might not be as easy to spot in the wild, but--take notice--they're out there.

Oh, I crack myself up. But, seriously, apes might be in right now, but this ape is going in the trash. In my freezer paper stencil-frenzy a few weeks ago, I attempted this gorilla face stencil for my nephew, and it's awful. I can't even begin to describe what this looks like. Not an ape, that's for d*%# sure. All right, it's getting heated in here. My sailor-mouth is coming out. Until then. . . a few more photos on my flickr.
