My new sewing machine is up and running! I have already fixed 8 things that had 4 inch holes. I am not an absolute beginner as I used to sew with my grandmother as a kid. However it was obvious I needed a refresher. You cannot always go to the closed stores to buy new things when in quarantine. In addition sewing can make masks. Therefore this is a great time to go on a sewing kick. I will be reviewing my latest sewing book on my book review podcast later this week at FH7publishing.com
I am in part of the Northeast that got slammed with hurricane storms last night. I am okay, and not in the hospital. Street lights were broken, but the street was not washed away. Thank heaven for small wonders, and remember things can always get worse. Thanks to everyone posting worried messages about me online last night.
Virginia has a hurricane AND a pandemic this week. Joy. That “joy” was ironic.

Mask making for Coronavirus has re-kindled my love of sewing. I remembered I love making masks, dresses, plushies, and everything else. I used to love sewing when I was younger. I can’t wait to get started again on a new machine. The masks will be for sale shortly on my webpage. Podcasts reviewing sewing books are sure to follow.
The Shooting Part 2
At long last the news gave a tiny bit of coverage to the shooting I saw. The shooter opened fire on a large group, but was only going for one guy. He injured, but did not kill the victim. Sadly there are SO MANY horrible things going on in the world right now the news can’t give long coverage to EVERY story daily. They only have a half-hour per night so we do not see every beating, rape, shooting, and other crime activity cops are called on in a week.
I am just glad to know why it was a thing. It was done in front of many people in a very public setting. I had no way of knowing who or what he was really trying to shoot. Sitting around and watching the shooting may have cost me my life if he WAS shooting all the people at the club.
This week my family is obsessed with the Anne of Green Gables inspired show called “Anne with an E” on Netflix. I just found out Green Gables is real, and now we want to visit the museum there.
I got my first crawfish in Animal Crossing today. Crawfish always reminds me of New Orleans.
My father was a career Army man who died of his war wounds when I was a kid. This gives me extra respect for the great fathers out there. Happy Father’s Day!
