I’m having so much fun with these. It seems that I can’t get enough of the sewing and the sewing machine. And it’s all I can do to squeeze in a little creative sewing time. So two new friends of miss fran are here. They don’t have names yet...but soon.

It’s late Sunday evening as I post this and I also want to say that I hope that my fellow Southern California readers especially those North and South of me are safe. We are personally away from the fires located directly in the middle of both areas ~ but we are close enough to have air that is full with smoke and a thin layer of ash on our cars. The light is gold and eerie and we’ve been inside, especially thankful for the comfort of our home this weekend and for those friends I know are safe and whose homes were spared. Again, if you are in any of these fire ridden areas ~ I hope you and your loved ones are safe.
