But Millie, Judy, Amy, Suzanne and other readers know all about it and\u00c2\u00a0welcome this invasion into their every day lives.<\/p>\n

For the\u00c2\u00a0enthusiastic and loyal fans among us, there are a multitude of sewing opportunities.\u00c2\u00a0 From team gear to tailgating accessories, my sewing machine has been humming for some time.<\/p>\n

shirt for Alysha, our grand goddaughter<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Family members needed new game shirts, tailgating tablecloths needed replacement and the family small fries needed a few new outfits to make it through the season.<\/p>\n

I love sewing for\u00c2\u00a0football season and pulling out the fruits of my off-season labors at the end of August.\u00c2\u00a0 With the regular demands of life and the increased demands of\u00c2\u00a0 the football schedule, very\u00c2\u00a0little Gator sewing gets done until spring.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most closely knit families share a passion in which all members participate and share.\u00c2\u00a0 For some it is hiking or travel or music or–whatever.<\/p>\n

For us, it is Florida Gator\/SEC \u00c2\u00a0football. We tailgate for home games, congregate around one tv or another for away games, discuss all games and players and countdown to the next game from the National Championship to kickoff.<\/p>\n

And that is now.\u00c2\u00a0 Go Gators!<\/p>\n
