I do believe we need to look our best we can - but I have to add a story here -

My sweet quilting mother-in-law is always pretty prim and proper - just in case!

One day we dropped in on her at 2 in the afternoon! she had awakened at 3a.m. and the thought on her mind when she awakened, was how to make the quilt she was working on and having a problem with - and she is 91! She's made so many quilts you can't imagine anyone with her expertise having a problem, but she did - so she put on her robe over her pjs, and away she went to correct her problem; the quilt turned out beautifully - but when we dropped in at 2 in the afternoon - she first realized, she had not dressed for the day - she kept right on sewing - she'd downed a pot of coffee - eaten snippets here and there, and had not had dinner! She was so embarrassed especially since she had not even combed her hair - well, all these faults are certainly forgiveable once you saw the quilt she produced that day! and the problem she had was so minute - she can't imagine why the day before she had had so much trouble -

So, remember gals, not every day is a bad day just cause you don't have your lipstick on straight - or your socks pulled up - lol Have a great day sewing!!! Love you all! This is a great site! I look forward to it each day! The highlight of my day before getting busy with my own projects.
