Stitching up and figs

Well, the past week has been interesting. I had an email from one of my blog readers, asking if there was any chance I could mail her some figs. She grew up in Texas, but lives in Montana now, and told me she hasn't had fresh figs in many many years! Well, how could I say no? Mailing them is expensive- it was $11 for shipping plus an ice pack to keep them good. But, why not? I only have a few more figs left, so she contacted me at just the right time. It made me feel really good that someone is reading this blog!

The weather has been crazy, cloudy in the morning, which is so unusual for AZ, then we either get some rain or watch it wander off to the east. Either way, the barometer is bouncing up and down, literally crippling me. I've spent so much time in bed the last 2 weeks, it's embarrassing. I have several sewing projects going- I'm putting french seams on the couch cover I made so that it's reversible; there is an adorable dress for my granddaughter that is nearly done. Then I need to make baby bibs and burp cloths, but until I can sit for any length of time, it's all on hold.

We are finally getting the front room ceiling fixed. For the past several years, the beams in the cathedral ceiling have been drooping, whether from the moisture or just because they didn't nail them into 2X4's in the roof, I don't know. But it's becoming really obvious and a little dangerous, we don't want them coming down on someones head. I have to box up all the china, kachinas and everything else in the room. Sigh...
