I know there are people with bigger problems in this world and some may say it's just a car, but it was my car, my dream car and I loved that car. I had the Eclipse for two weeks shy of 15 years. The Eclipse was cool and it fit me like a glove. So I was stuck having to buy a car on the fly. So as I cried the salesman asked me what I wanted - which I had no idea what I wanted - and showed me cars. What I wanted was my car. Then I had to drive the Eclipse for the last time around the building to remove all my stuff crying the entire time. I ended up with this stupid gray Tucson. They only had black, blue, and gray on hand. So now I need to pay for the stupid thing.
So every Wednesday I am going to post a quilt and you can email me at pattynubs at gmail.com if you would like to buy it. I will post a price and will be open to counters. If you are someone I don't know I would ask for a casher's check or a money order including $10.00 for postage. Here is my first offering - my Chinese Coin quilt for $200.00. It is 60.5" x 69". If there are any details you want to know just email me.
I couldn't go back to sleep this morning so I was up at 4:30. I finished quilting the blue log cabin and cut the binding.
In conjunction with hopefully selling some quilts, I am also hoping for some commissions. I have one right now. One of the fellows on the jobsite had some feed sacks he wants me to make a quilt out of for his wife. The sacks were very dirty so I had to wash them twice. Once I get them pressed and hung on the design wall I will post a picture. The quilt won't be very big so this should not take me too long.

I had a Nissan Maxima in the 90's that I felt the same way about. I drove it until I couldn't drive it anymore. I've had 2 cars since that were just cars. The last one my husband picked out and since I didn't care I was fine to get it. After driving it for 3 years and almost crashing 3 times because of the gigantic blind spot, I finally decided to get another car for ME. My new Subaru Forester is my new "in love" car. It fits me and I hope it lasts forever.
That commission you got was perfectly timed!
Oh, I can feel your pain. My van is 13 1/2 years old and is the most comfy, best fitting vehicle for me. Sometimes I wish it was a little smaller but I know I would have a hard time getting used to all of the new gadgets they have put on the cars. I want a key that goes into the ignition and I think that is rare on the new cars, mostly push button start.
I did the same thing with my little red sports car, the Prelude. I needed the CRV for the dog training and house flipping businesses. God, I loved that Prelude. And of course when they came to take my 12 year old CRV after the flood, I sobbed for days.
I understand.
my 10 year old Dodge Dakota is in for repair after an accident...it may not be worth it to fix says the adjuster....high mileage...argh! And they have given me a rental-a small low slung sporty job-press to start....you know how many times I have fallen out of that thing trying to get out? I want my truck back ...sniff sniff
That sucks! I hope you get used to the new one.
