Well, well.

Happy Wednesday. Daughter #1 here. I just finished viewing this week’s DWTS. SPOILER ALERT: No one was eliminated because “it was Disney Night” which was incredibly lame. I had Monday off for Columbus Day. As someone who spent ten years in news, any holiday I am not working is a treat. I used the day off to learn how to make a pouch with a zipper.
There isn’t a straight line on this pouch, but the zipper works. You can seriously learn anything on youtube. I highly recommend the ladies at the Missouri Star Quilt Shop (I’m not precise enough for quilting, but the tutorials are interesting to watch). Yes, they are Missouri-based and yes, I’m trying to invent a reason to go there for work.
As my mother mentioned, we had tremendous luck at an estate sale on Saturday. I got a lovely little chair (I love ladies chairs because they are appropriately sized). I also this great rug for my office.
I mean, does that bring you joy or what?
This post is turning out to be a mish mosh of things.
I suppose I’ll leave with you this quote from The Wind in the Willows which I am reading for the first time (in between old Delano Ames mysteries and Ulysses S. Grant’s memoirs). Speaking of mish moshes.
“The Wild Wood is pretty well populated by now; with all the usual lot, good, bad, and indifferent–I name no names. It takes all sorts to make a world.”
Boy, that’s the truth.

The rug is perfect and you are awesome for learning how to make a zipper pouch. Zippers are hard!
My blog posts are frequently a mish mosh, and the use of that word makes me think of Danny Kaye, which makes me happy. 🙂
P.S. The story of that Missouri quilt lady is awesome! I want to go to Hamilton, MO!
