If you want to see me the day after I gave birth to my only child, go on over to her new BLOG. It is really fun. She shows you her amazing Golden Doodles in today's post.
Tammy is really excited about my readers checking out her BLOG. I know a lot of you knit, so you will enjoy her beautiful knitted creations.
Here is a link:

I did some videos the last few days. If you haven't seen them -- and you want to -- here they are:
As you will see in the following pictures, Phylly and I always laugh ourselves silly when we get together. Neither one of us cared much about the flower or the butterfly. We were there to see the latest Embroidery Machine called Destiny II. When we found out it was nearly $17,000, we decided to just have fun and keep our money.
In the next pic, we were making the centers of the flower. You had to stick a wire up into a straw. Then you had to burn tiny holes into your straw. Then you dipped the pistols (?) into some Elmer's Glue in a plastic spoon, and you were to stick the glue-covered pistols into the holes you made. Well, our holes were a mess. They either sealed themselves up or they were big enough to put a toothpick into.
We were cracking up laughing at how bad our stems looked, and I had to take a selfie.
Honestly, we were so bad, the teacher took pity on us. Her Father was the demonstrator of flower assembly, and he came over and took MY straw and my petals away from me. After all, it DID look better than Phylly's. Phylly and I were sharing a machine, and we were actually making only one flower because we were too lazy to embroider flower #2.
So HERE is the teacher's Dad making my flower for me. The idea was to make an entire bouquet. I told "Dad" that I was going to need him to come home with me if he expected me to make any more.
He looked at me and said, "I will!"
He evidently likes to be with the "fun girls" so he kept coming over to get in our pictures. He was a hoot. Followed us out when we left. I thought maybe he was coming home with me too, lol.
AND, in case someone is wondering, I did ask permission to take the pictures, and I announced to them all that I would be putting these on my BLOG. Nobody cared.
And if you saw the videos above, you have already seen our beautiful creations. Here, Phylly is modeling the Angel Butterfly.
We decided that a SIX-winged butterfly must have angel wings.
If you are reading this in real time, and you are a Bible believer, like me, PLEASE continue to pray with me for Florida and command Hurricane Irma to cease and desist and go back out to sea! (Mark 11:23-24 SPEAK to the mountain...) In this case, the "mountain" is a hurricane. I've been doing it all day.
Good night my friends.
Hugs, Joy
Strange butterfly, lol. Want to thank you for sharing your hints, stores, etc. I quilt and do a lot of sewing so I look forward to your videos. I am originally from NYC but now residing in NC. Praying for my family in Florida. Ellie.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had quite an entertaining day! And how is the facelift cream working for you?
ReplyDeleteI've been a subscriber to your YouTube channel for quite awhile and have really enjoyed your fun personality and your wonderful sewing talents displayed. When I read I could link to your daughter's blog and see a photo of you right after you delivered her, I did it! What a great picture and thank you so much for sharing it. I know you have a good life with your Jerry and am happy for you. I sadly lost my husband of 59 years in January - really tough. Couldn't sew for awhile (strange) but am now getting back to it. Still figuring out Sure Fit Designs so really enjoy your helpful comments and fashion shows! Keep doing what you're doing, Joy; I love your honesty and enthusiasm that you share about family, at-work challenges, sewing advice, and all the rest!
