Yesterday I went to go purchase a North Carolina collection. This might just be the first such picking trip for my patch wagon (as my friend named it). On the way home I stopped at the local BBQ restaurant as I was in Lexington style territory. I have to say my favorite is the midlands mustard based sauce but you can't go wrong with NC chopped pork BBQ any day of the week.

I got that Florida State usher patch in a collection some months back and just this week got it up for auction. I think it's a beautiful piece and maybe sharing it here will spark the idea for more people to use this design idea. Can we still make patches with Native Americans carrying spears?

I have 10 days left in my warehouse before summer camp. I have to admit that's kinda scary for me to put a pin in so many small projects. I need to spend a few days wrapping things up and making sure my ladies have everything they need to run the ship without the captain for June/July. I will be able to come and pop in for a few hours on Saturday night but I'm also looking forward to getting away from the computer desk at camp.

I have 207 live auctions on eBay with about 1/4 of those ending tonight. I've pulled back a bit and am running only 50 auctions the next several Sunday's but I will stick with the 7-day auction strategy through the summer.
