Bike Adventure

the lunch line, ALL the way up the hill:

the nut shack, $5 for 'lunch':

While riding on Tuesday thru Jefferson City, we came upon a sign advertising a town festival....... ahem.... the Testical Festival in Olean Mo.

Tim of course had to google it.. then plan a route to attend this event and see for ourselves what it was.

We had a nice sun shiney ride. We saw hundreds of bikes. Bike people of all ages.. lots of our age !

There were a few crafty booths. We did B'fast prior,,,,, so we didint DO the offered lunch. ahahaha.

This is a link of a prior Festival with lil more info.

Hibernating

Super Bowl weekend was spent sewing up a storm. After choosing a color combo ( Anything Solid) These 3 tops fell into place. They stitched up fast ! For those that 'stash bust' No Idea how much fabric got used up but it all came from the closet. I didn't fuss over color choices I just cut a big pile of many solids and sew till its gone ! Next week is quilting the Purple Braid tops and perhaps if its warm, baste these. The year has a good start with 7 Good Deed tops so far. Pot Roast yesterday.... Soup & Fresh bread today..... Hibernating is a good thing.

Update 2 /14
All the purple quilts are quilted and hemmed. These 3 solids are quilted & hemmed DONE!. I have one bright colored one left to do. Currently am stichin on Feathered Stars for Tx lady. Next week a work trip to Ark w Hubby. Ill take the machine along for while he is in classes.
