Fun Repurposing Project
Posted by: shastababy on: September 1, 2011
Recently I worked on a very fun project. A firefighter brought over a couple of sets of firefighter jackets and pants that were no longer serviceable. He wanted a BBQ apron and laptop bag out of them. Talk about re-using and re-purposing! It was been a chore to rip them apart-that stuff is tough and [...]
Let’s try this again…

I was surprised to see that it has been nearly over a year since I last posted. I’ve been a slacker-I admit it! But I have been sewing a lot and have updated my Artfire store and actually have a sewing room of my own, sorta. At least I have my sewing machines out of [...]
Finally Back Home!!!
Posted by: shastababy on: November 28, 2009
It was beginning to feel like I had moved to Massachusetts, but we are finally home! Left about 9:30 AM last Saturday morning and arrived at our door at 3:38 AM Sunday. Not too bad of a trip and we made good time. G did most of the driving and we only stopped for fuel. [...]

G is a Marine. Through and through. Serving from 1975 to 1985, all over the world, in several conflicts and finally back home, he is proud. His truck has a custom USMC license plate. On the front there is a plate with USMC with crossed swords. On the bumper is a sticker that says “US [...]
Happy Birthday Teagan!

It’s hard to believe she’s a year old already! Time goes by so fast. Since I haven’t been sent any new pics, I had to get them from Meg’s Facebook. But here she is with her beautiful mom:
Well, I did it!

I decided to go ahead with Etsy. It’s not much right yet, but I hope to make it better! I’ve listed a few things, most of which were already blogged here. But there’s a few new items, and a few more in the works. So take a minute and check it out. All comments and [...]
No, I didn’t get lost in the mountains
Posted by: shastababy on: October 5, 2009
but I have been busy! Between getting the truck window fixed (it’s still not-we’re waiting for the part that holds the window to the pulley in the door so we can actually put the window down!) then having to take it in for new tires, then somewhere else for service, there’s not been a lot [...]
Rant! Just a vent about a lousy experience.

This past Saturday G had the afternoon off so I had the truck. YAY! I happily took my shopping list and fistful of coupons to Joann’s. I spent about 20 minutes in there, getting what I needed then G called. He asked me to pick up a few things for him at another store, so [...]
Dinosaurs!
Posted by: shastababy on: July 22, 2009
The other day I went to see some dinosaur footprints. About 2 miles from the hotel is a place where over 120 dinosaur footprints were found while doing road work on Route 5. It’s pretty neat-huge slabs of rock with lots of prints. Here’s a couple: Here’s one that would have been a little harder [...]
