Stash Report Week 16, 2013

We've had a great week of travel.  We have been to museums, taken in a concert, lots of antique shops and swap meets, the ham radio DX convention and antique farm equipment show, oh and a couple of fabric stores too.  I'm thinking we'll be real ready to sleep in our own bed tonight.



I know that I'm ready to be home and start in on my UFO's I've been inspired reading everyone's progress. This week I want to come up with my plan for my UFO's and to get back to the projects I have going too.

My numbers haven't moved this week because the fabric is not in the sewing room yet.  Still in the car until it's unpacked tomorrow not to mention that box that arrived just before we left.  I think I need to get something finished this week to off set the incoming fabric.

Weekend Trip

This past weekend we went for a short trip (about a 6 hour drive) to Visalia and Tulare in  Central California.  Two events just happen to be on the same weekend so off we went.  The California Antique Farm Equipment Show and the International DX convention (Ham  Radio).  Throw in some antique stores, beautiful farm land and orange trees in bloom.  All in all it made for a great weekend.

Just look at all those shades of green.



 

This antique tractor was for sale ..NO it did not come home with us.



 

The tractor pull was amazing.  The hopped up antique tractors were the best.



Then we found the most wonderful homemade orange ice cream.  I think we will be taking a detour to the Orange Works Cafe on all north bound trips.  LOL



 

It was good to get away for a few days and to come back recharged.
