I'm having a sewing retreat!!

I am in Toronto at my sister's home for a couple of weeks, ostensibly to catch up on some sewing and to help her at two upcoming shows. The first was last weekend at the Momiji Centre, and I ended up having a table there myself so I wasn't much help to Diane!! The Centre is just beautiful, Japanese decor throughout, with incredible gardens and wonderful people. I didn't sell much but it was such a treat to be in a place like that for two whole days. I told them I would be moving into their retirement apartments when I'm old and decrepit, as it is a perfect spot as far as I'm concerned.

June is here already!!

What happened to spring? Does time really fly when you are having fun!! Everyone I talk to is saying that this year is moving along faster than normal, but I don't understand how that happens. Time is not elastic. A 24 hour day is just that, so how can time seem to zip by so quickly ? There never seems to be enuf hours in the day, days in the week to get everything done. Does anyone have any ideas on this phenomenon???
We still don't have all the plants in but the bugs are atrocious at present, as are my allergies so the plants sit, waiting patiently.
Just so ya know, on the 15th I will have lived here in my wacky old house for 19 years, longest I've ever stayed in one place!!!

I am mailing in my 12 X 12 art quilt donation to SAQA this afternoon for the auction. Watch for it when you check out what is being offered. SAQA and it's staff and volunteers have helped me in many ways so I'm really happy to give back a little. If you are not a member you should really check out their website (see my links list )and see all the goodies they offer to members. Quite the organization for sure.
