An Untitled Mess

So, since I do not have a concealed carry permit, and since North Carolina is an open carry state where anyone can carry a gun as long as it is not concealed, I decided that my next project would be a sleeveless shirt so that my guns could be in plain view and I could comply with the law...welcome to the gun show! That's right, it's another Selfie Sunday and since I just finished up this tank, I figured I would show it off a little bit.  This thing is soooo comfortable and I'm loathe to sell it because I love it so much.  Jersey knit fabric is very soft and stretchy and just amazing to wear.  It makes the best t-shirts.  This was a really simple pattern to sew but it took me a little bit of time because it was my first attempt.  Now that I know how things go together, I'm sure I can get these out in an hour or two. Josh is on his way back to Tennessee today.  He stopped by the house for breakfast this morning and to say goodbye.  Hopefully he has a...

It's been a crazy week for me.  I've been meaning to write, and I've had several things I wanted to post about, but I've not gotten the time to do it.  Hopefully I can get a lot of it in tonight before I pass out. My brother came into town on Tuesday from Tennessee.  It's been pretty awesome to see him and spend some time with him this week.  Our family has our condo on the beach through the end of the week so he's set up camp out there.  I've been out to chill with him a few days and just relax and walk the beach.  It's been really nice.  It's amazing how much that place has changed since the last time I was out there in 2007.  A few of the buildings were condemned a couple of years ago and have since been torn down.  The entire place looks unrecognizable and the impact that just those few buildings had is noticeable.  It's hard to believe that they had so many units in such a small area.  We have spent every summer out there sin...

Well, I'm home.  For those of you that did not know, I was visiting my brother in Tennessee this weekend.  We sure did have a great time.  It really wasn't that bad of a drive, only about seven hours.  It took us through some very beautiful areas of the state. Cotton Field - 2007 I use to drive to Greensboro once or twice a month to see Donna and Christopher, so that leg of the trip was a pretty easy four hours.  It was rather amazing how much had changed in the last nine years west of Newport.  There was this spot on Highway 70 right before you get into Kinston coming from New Bern.  There was this very old building in the middle of a cotton field and I literally stopped one day in the middle of traffic to snap a few photos.  Well, to my dismay, this building no longer exists and the field is no longer filled with cotton.  There was actually a power line that ran through the sky in the photo that Cory edited out for me so...woot for hi...
