House Boat being put in the water at Ky. Lake Thur. of our retreat. On Tue. they had a crane come in an put the top on.

Chanel 6 was there and interviewed Carol. We don't think it made the news.

Divers had to go in to put air bags under the rear end to keep it from hitting the bottom when going in.

It made it. This is a 7 bedroom, 7 bath house boat. It will go down to New Orleans and then to Tampa and then off to India. We think that story is right. We heard a lot of different ones over our two hour watch (just Carole and I). But that is what we heard on the news. It was interesting. Her sister ship will be put in this week. It's a few feet smaller. They are made in Ky.

More on the Ky. Lake Retreat...

Carol's wool bed cover. She worked on it last year too but the top is done now. She just needs to put a back on it.

This top is done now. I'm going to teach this at the Perryville Guild in May.

Girls Cruise...

March has been a busy month. The first part of March 11 of us Girls went on a Cruise. We had a great time the food, entertainment, side trips and lots of laughs.

I could tell you more but what happens on the ship stays on the ship.

I'm so behind on my posting. The Snowball Dance was the end of Feb. Don't they look nice together? The tractor has to be in some of the pictures.

It's so nice to finish projects !!!

This bag is to carry your sewing projects in. The Designer is Merry Cox. It was fun and fast to do. I wanted to quilt the bag but before I knew it I had the binding on. Too late then. I'm still learning how to use blogger. I put the pictures in the order I want them to apear and they come in last first. I give up. This is a hidden pocket under the needle page of a Sewing Case. This kit is called Birds and Berries by Merry Cox.

This is the needle pages and a small pocket.

This is the front of the Sewing case and as you can see I did it in 2005. All I had left to do was finish the pocket and sew the hidden pocket and needle page on.

Then as you can see the Scissors holder and the Pincushion are dated 2012. Don't they look nice together in there Shaker Box? I enjoyed doing this project and look forward to the next one.
