Such a tour!<BR/>Hope you have a blessed time with them, and say, "hi" from your Canadian friend!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142983218710555646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-30630072029636486262007-09-11T20:04:00.000-06:002007-09-11T20:04:00.000-06:00What a wonderful blessing for you to have your par...What a wonderful blessing for you to have your parents still in this world, and that they came for a quick visit! My dad was also in the navy in WWII, on destroyers, in the South Pacific. Wonder if they ever met?<BR/><BR/>So much gorgeousness in your post: gorgeous fabric, gorgeous cloud formations, gorgeous barbeque, and even the spider is gorgeous in his own way, but creepy too!<BR/><BR/>I'd love to visit the factory where the workers hand sew all those sequins and beads onto that sheer fabric...wow!Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-69777969321461972352007-09-11T16:06:00.000-06:002007-09-11T16:06:00.000-06:00Oh Julie, I would love to see what $1,000 a yard f...Oh Julie, I would love to see what $1,000 a yard fabric looks like.<BR/>It is so addictive to look at the expensive fabrics as art. I really have little desire to actually wear the fabric. The thought of cutting the fabric just pains me.<BR/>I think I do look a bit like dad...Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-6915380990285924162007-09-11T14:03:00.000-06:002007-09-11T14:03:00.000-06:00Oh, Jill, I would so LOVE to visit that high fashi...Oh, Jill, I would so LOVE to visit that high fashion fabric store -- but only if you can guarentee that I can do so without running into that spider...Your spider's are truly Texas legend size!!! <BR/><BR/>Most of our high fashion fabrics stores have closed here in Vancouver and it is getting harder and harder to get really good fabric...<BR/>The most expensive fabric I have sewn with was somewhere in the 5-600.00 dollar range. The garment was not for me!! :-(<BR/>I have handled fabric that was 1,000.00 a yd. A friend of mine made a coat from it. <BR/>Beyond my budget!!!!! smile <BR/><BR/>I know I don't always remember to be thankful that my parents have always lived less than a half hour car ride from me, as well as all my siblings until a couple of years ago when my youngest brother moved to Dawson Creek. (13 hour drive away) <BR/>And being so far away from your parents as they get older must get harder and harder for you, Jill. <BR/>I'm so glad you were able to enjoy this visit with them!! <BR/>I think you favor your dad in facial features, do you ??Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-46377541528813941682007-09-11T10:19:00.000-06:002007-09-11T10:19:00.000-06:00Hi there . .Jill's Mom and Dad.

I'm glad the recipe was a hit and now I'm feeling bad that I didn't offer you a glass of milk to go with yours. <BR/>Oh that fabric store makes me drool too, I had to swallow several times.<BR/><BR/>Those spiders are so amazing. Thanks Bernie for the visual measurement of that spider. <BR/><BR/>It looks like you had a great time.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-22221023102837031872007-09-11T08:07:00.000-06:002007-09-11T08:07:00.000-06:00Oh!

The bead, sequin, and stitch work looks like a doable project...tedious, but doable. <BR/><BR/>How nice to have your folks drop in! I know you were thrilled to be able to hug them! I live 850 miles from my mother, and my nearest relative (a sister) is about 700 miles from here. *sigh* And my DH actually came home from work last week asking if I'd like to move back to Texas - even farther from our families!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
