The Barter System

I love to barter. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours! So when my good friend Norm offered me a trade I took him up on it.

 Norm has a boat.


Two of the boat bunks are in the passageway and don't have very much privacy...


....so Norm asked me to sew some curtains for them out of this cool fabric from Abbey's Reflections.


Now, I absolutely DO NOT have time to sit indoors to sew, but Norm was offering to trade Black Cod Tips, and I love, Love, LOVE, LOVE Black Cod Tips!




Today was a good day to be indoors sewing....


....because the weather was certifiably psychotic....One minute it was sunny and beautiful and I was driving myself crazy thinking I should be outside working....


...and the next minute it was just an absolute white-out, and I was GLAD I was not outside working....





Anyways, the curtains are done....


 And the Black Cod Tips are delicious.....


So, EVERYONE'S happy!
