Wow, I can't believe it's been two weeks since I posted. Truly I haven't been loafing, but if truth be told most of that time I've been dealing with botched dentistry. My dentist who I've been with for 28 years retired and my first experience with the group that took over has been horrid! Needless to say I shall be finding a new one!
Since I haven't been real busy in the shop I'll just share a few pics from my days out and hopefully next week I'll be back to welding and cutting.... I HOPE!
Last week I was finally able to take my mind off of the tooth problem and hang out with some friends. On Thurs, with my old friend Meeg who I've know since high school, we did some window shopping, lunch and threw in a few thrift stores for good measure.
Then on Friday, headed off to the Tucson Quilt Show with my Friend Anna - and of course there is always time to scout out the Tucson Thrift stores. Good thing most of my friends enjoy thrifting - cuz if they didn't I'd have to drag them along kicking and screaming!
I'm not a seamstress and never will be! I admire all these folks that have the patient to put these beautiful quilts together. I prefer to sew with steel and if I had to sew something needing a straight line... I'd be in big trouble.
Thanks everyone for dropping in to view a small piece of me and my colorful and rusty world.

Oh man oh man do I miss thrifting. No such thing here in Barranquilla. Lots of eye candy here to look at!
How lovely to hand around with friends - and at such great places too. Sorry, I've been drooooooling all over your blog - in the thrift stores and all over the quilts - a couple of which I tried to peel off the page! I too miss thrifting and looks like you found some fabulous shops! xoDonna
I can tell where you were in Downtown Glendale! No wonder you spent too much! *LOL* Carol's Shops are always packed with great Treasures! I must confess that this week I did too... but I had Christmas Gift Funds that were burning holes in my pockets! *Smiles* So it was a fairly guiltless indulgence of Self. Those Quilts are fabulous... I'm taking a Sewing Class at Church on Monday Nights and the Lady Hosting it is an avid Quilter... never tried my hand at that yet but I Love seeing Quilt Creations, each one is obviously a Labor of Love and I'm often amazed at the Talent of the Artists! As for Altered Art Bottles, I plan to take a Class in the Spring at Melrose Vintage to learn how to solder them... The Man & I have picked up so many Old Bottles in our Desert Treks over the years that I can't wait to Create something fabulous with them!
