Written by Patten Fuqua, a Nashville native, Predators Hockey fan and Belmont journalism grad.

Allow me a moment to step away from the usual voice of this website.
What I am about to write has absolutely nothing to do with hockey.
If you live outside of Nashville, you may not be aware, but our city was hit by a 500-year flood over the last few days. The national news coverage gave us 15 minutes, but went back to focusing on a failed car bomb and an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. While both are clearly important stories, was that any reason to ignore our story? It may not be as terror-sexy as a failed car bomb or as eco-sexy as an oil spill, but that’s no reason to be ignored.
The Cumberland River crested at its highest level in over 80 years. Nashville had its highest rainfall totals since records began. People drowned. Billions of dollars in damage occurred. It is the single largest disaster to hit Middle Tennessee since the Civil War. And yet…no one knows about it.
Does it really matter? Eventually, it will…as I mentioned, there are billions of dollars in damage. It seems bizarre that no one seems to be aware that we just experienced what is quite possibly the costliest non-hurricane disaster in American history. The funds to rebuild will have to come from somewhere, which is why people need to know. It’s hard to believe that we will receive much relief if there isn’t a perception that we need it.
But let’s look at the other side of the coin for a moment. A large part of the reason that we are being ignored is because of who we are. Think about that for just a second. Did you hear about looting? Did you hear about crime sprees? No…you didn’t. You heard about people pulling their neighbors off of rooftops. You saw a group of people trying to move two horses to higher ground. No…we didn’t loot. Our biggest warning was, “Don’t play in the floodwater.” When you think about it…that speaks a lot for our city. A large portion of why we were being ignored was that we weren’t doing anything to draw attention to ourselves. We were handling it on our own.
Some will be quick to find fault in the way rescue operations were handled, but the fact of the matter is that the catastrophe could not have been prevented and it is simply ignorant beyond all reason to suggest otherwise. It is a flood. It was caused by rain. You can try to find a face to stick this tragedy to, but you’ll be wrong.
Parts of Nashville that could never even conceivably be underwater were underwater. Some of them still are. Opry Mills and the Opryland Hotel are, for all intents and purposes, destroyed. People died sitting in standstill traffic on the Interstate. We saw boats going down West End. And, of course, we all saw the surreal image of the portable building from Lighthouse Christian floating into traffic and being destroyed when cars were knocked into it. I’m still having trouble comprehending all of it.

And yet…life will go on. We’ll go back to work, to school, to our lives…and we’ll carry on. In a little over a month, I’ll be on this website talking about the draft. In October, we’ll be discussing the new Predators’ season with nary a thought of these past few days. But in a way, they changed everyone in this town. We now know that that it can happen to us…but also know that we can handle it.
Because we are Nashville.

This is the current state of our garage! We have been cleaning, and packing, and throwing things away for a week. I am so ready to move back home. I never thought I would be so happy to say I live in MCMINNVILLE, but I will shout it from the roof top when we get there!

We will be busting out of here on Wednesday! So for the next few days I will be MIA while we finish the packing and drive 15 hours to get home. I cant wait to post in the good ole TN!

I fixed it!!

Dont ask me how but I fixed my problem with the computer. All is right in my world with technology now :)

Here is a peak at a new dress style I am trying out... Just imagine these dresses in the brightest Spring colors and Prints

We had to fit in a Jam Session :) You are looking at the next Carrie Underwood

This is her blowing me a kiss after she got over the fit she threw. (See previous post :)

Help me PLEASE!

2010-01-28T21:09:00.000-06:00

I DESPERATELY need some advice. I was trying to download some Embroidery designs from the Internet and somehow I changed the way they get saved to the computer! When I click on them to download it opens the file in Notepad instead of asking me if I want to save it to a certain spot. Please help! I know ZERO about computers!

Since I am a ~~mature~~ adult I will not show you how I acted when I made this horrible mistake... I will show you how Madison acted because I was not paying attention to her while I made the mistake

P.S. I will appreciate any adivce/tips you can give me! I am a desperate woman!

P.P.S That is a new dress I made for Maddie, more on that tomorrow!

A New Summer top and Mickey Mouse Love

2010-01-25T15:55:00.001-06:00

This smile is what gets me out of bed every morning :)

When I showed her the Mickey Mouse fabric she said "Ooo"

The only still shot I could get!

She kept saying "Lets Go!"

A Valentines Bag

2010-01-22T11:13:00.001-06:00

Help me decide!

2009-12-03T10:02:00.003-06:00

There is quite a debate going on in the Moore household these days. The newest addition to the Moore family needs a name... if Madison were older there would be no debate.. it would be something hilarious like Tator Tot :)

However, Josh and I have the daunting task of naming this poor elf and we cannot decide. Our elf on the shelf was a gift from Aunt Lesia and she also got her a skirt which I left in TN :(
I think HER name should be Carol Ann. Josh feels that it should be a HIM and be named something ridiculous like Willie or Merle.

What do you think? PLEASE HELP US! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think, opinions, suggestions ANYTHING and there might be a surprise for someone ;) (that is if you side with me :p )

Pants!

A close up of the detail on the front and a cute little something on the back

I wanted the pants to look like those overalls that I think Conductors wear... or use to? Not sure on that, anyway... I also made a little pocket and a hammer hanger or whatever they are called

Little man is going to look so handsome for his party!

Love Auntie :)

At exactly 3:31 am one year ago (after 30 and 1/2 hours of labor... yes thats right, 30 and 1/2) this precious angel was placed on my chest and forever in my heart. I will admit... as I type this big tears are forming in my eyes. I cannot believe that a year has gone by already! When Madison had the colic and cried for 2 months straight, I remember telling Josh that it would be ok, it wont last forever. At the time I did not know how true it was. She is the funniest, sweetest, and most wonderful person I have ever met. Everyday she does something new and I learn something from her everyday.
Happy Birthday Maddie

Oh yeah, most of you are probably scratching your head at the title of this post. When we brought Madison home from the hospital Josh started calling her Squirrell Chicken. I have no idea where it came from but it has stuck with her. I know that is an awful nickname but what can ya do!

Addressing an issue

2009-11-06T08:06:00.003-06:00

A few days ago an anonymous comment was left on my blog that I would like to address...
I appreciate those who take the time to read my blog and I welcome your comments. I also welcome criticism (constructive criticism please, and thank you :) However, I don't appreciate it left as a comment for everyone to see. I have put my email and phone number on here for a reason. Any problems, criticisms and questions will be addressed there. To leave a critical comment on any blog is TACKY and CLASS-LESS. Also, to preface a comment with "not to be mean or rude" does NOT dismiss the fact that it was mean and rude.

If anonymous would like to call or email me to let me know which dresses needed to be fixed I would be happy to do so.

Thanks for listening to me vent!

Please Pray

For everyone watching the news.... Josh is safe. We are safe, Just enamored that something like this can happen on a Military Post. Please keep all Ft. Hood Soldiers and their families in your prayers.

Happy Halloween!

Too Funny

2009-10-26T13:20:00.004-05:00

This is too funny not to tell....

I do not give Madison caffeine (for obvious reasons) but she is no dummy. When we have a can drink she knows exactly what it is and begs for a drink. A couple of weeks ago Josh gave her a sip of his Dr. Pepper (protest from mommy in the background) and she LOVED it!

She must have been going into withdrawls because this is how we found her the other day....

I left a can on the end table not thinking she would get it (yeah right, I really am crazy). In desperate need of some DP she poured it onto the floor and was rubbing her hands in it and sucking on her fingers! It was hilarious, all I could do was laugh and get the camera.

Happy Birthday Mom

The Hubby's Birthday

2009-10-04T12:35:00.003-05:00

Yesterday was Josh's 25th birthday. I told him that he is so old now that he has to have 2 packs of birthday candles! HAHA. Since the Vols played Auburn yesterday we HAD to have a Tennessee birthday cake! He invited some of his soldiers over for a BBQ and we had a great time. Maddie was sooo good. She has never been around that many children before and she was in hog heaven!

My new obsession

2009-09-29T22:12:00.004-05:00

I have found my newest obsession.... APPLIQUES!! I have been seeing alot of great ones lately and I wanted to try my hand at it. I found some super easy to use webbing and Volia! I would really love to put an applique on everything in the house but Josh said no :(

I really love the single letters but I can do anything. I am working on some designs for boys since I dont have anything for them.

I also made this travel wipe case with Maddies initials appliqued :) on it. I am not happy with the trim but it is all I had in a pinch. I will have more of these available soon.

A side note.... I found out today that my best friend from college lost her dad on Sunday. Please keep her and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

Playing Catch-up

2009-09-21T16:21:00.006-05:00

I wanted to post some of the things that I have made recently since I havent posted any creations in a while. I am working on a few more things right now and I want to do a giveaway soon! I am still deciding what I want to do for the giveaway but check back very soon to see what I come up with!

I made this for Madison out of some leftover fabric and a Onesie that was too short. The skirt reminds me of ice cream :) It looks so cute on her, I call it Prarie Chic :)

The fabric for this dress is a super soft corduroy. I love the color combo on this one!

I am so excited about this dress! This is Maddie's Birthday Dress!! I am going to have her name and a Mickey Mouse Applique put on it and pair it with leggings and a turtleneck since her birthday theme is Mickey Mouse!

I am going to more of these dresses and make them reversable, Maybe a Christmas and New Years dress for Maddie.

I love this polka dot and stripe print! It is also all of my favorite colors. Would it be weird it I made myself one of these?...... Probably.

Thank You Corey Morris!

2009-09-20T21:59:00.003-05:00

If you haven't noticed my blog is completely different! My wonderfully talented cousin Corey created my new and very much improved blog. He also created a button for me since I am terrible when it comes to anything technology related. THANKS COREY!! I loveeee my new site and I hope everyone (the few who actually read it) does too!

Not much accomplished in the way of sewing this weekend, I am working on a VOLS dress for Maddie and starting a few projects soon. This has been Football Weekend, Maddie watched her first VOLS game on Saturday and of course we had to take a few pics :)

Its Fall at our house but... Its no FAIR

2009-09-16T11:18:00.004-05:00

We have spent the past few days decorating our house for the Fall since the weather has been sooooo nice. There is nothing that shows the wonders of God more than the leaves changing in Tennessee. I am sad that Madison won't get to play in a big pile of leaves this year :( Texas just doesn't have the amazing trees that we have in Tennessee. As all of you know the Warren County A&L Fair is going on right now and I am just beside myself that we are not there to bask in all its wonder. I don't know what it is about the fair but I think it is absolutely wonderful (If you are not from Warren County then you just won't understand.) And I know that if we had put Madison in the baby show, she would win hands down :)

I had to post this picture because this is my favorite decoration this year. I am trying to repurpose everything these days (and get in tune with my crafty side) and we have this oranment hanger that we got a few years ago for Christmas deco. I knew that I had to put it out for Fall this year but wasnt sure what to put on it.... then Madison and I found these acorn bells at Hobby Lobby and I KNEW they were perfect. Thus... the Acorn Tree.

Crazy for Polka Dots

2009-09-13T19:54:00.004-05:00

It has been raining all weekend here! I know that we desperately need it; however, it is very hard keeping Madison and Rocky inside! The weather has also changed a bit with the rain and it has gotten cooler!!!! Maybe it will stay that way (pray for this :) I wanted to make Madison something that was going to be appropriate for cool weather so I whipped this up while she was napping. I LOVE polka dots and I think this is super cute! There would be a picture of her in it but... my model is not cooperating these days! Maybe she is holding out for more toys :)

I am thinking about doing some Christmas ones so let me know if anyone is interested in them! I can do any combo on either jeans or stretchy pants.

Onesie Refassion

2009-09-10T15:57:00.004-05:00

Thanks to the wonderful tutorial at My Mama Made It , I was able to turn a boring Onesie into a super cute dress for baby Taelor Ray :) Tori told me about seeing one in a shop and said how cute it was. Well.... I can make that! I hope that she likes it and Taelor will look like a doll in it!

Dresses for Lizzy

2009-09-07T13:43:00.004-05:00

Over the weekend I made these 2 darling dresses for brand new Lizzy! As I was making them I could not help but think back to when Madison was brand new... That sweet baby smell and everything Pink! I wish them the best of luck and hope they savor every minute of it because it goes so fast!

I made a matching hairbow for the dresses.

I hope they enjoy them!

More Halloween Dresses!

2009-09-05T16:03:00.004-05:00

I am very excited about these dresses! I love theses Halloween prints. They are so fun and look good on any age! I am also in the process of making some coordinating hairbows for the dresses.

Pillowcase Dresses!!!

2009-09-04T15:18:00.004-05:00

Last night I stayed up way too late making these dresses to sell at a local consignment shop. I love all these because they coordinate with my favorite season.... Fall

Loving my Life

2009-09-03T02:43:00.004-05:00

It is amazing how the simple things in life complete you... I get to spend everyday looking at that sweet face and hearing that adorable giggle. I took this today while we were playing outside. It sums up the relationship that Madison and Rocky have, he tries to smell her and she tries to pull his ears off. I love and cherish each moment that I get to spend with Madison. Everything is a new discovery, a great adventure. I wish that we could all find as much joy in the most simple things as children do.

I am working on a few dresses and will post pictures soon on what I have been up to.

But for now...

The Gracie Dress

2009-08-27T10:28:00.007-05:00

My daughter Madison Grace is the where I draw my inspiration for my clothing. She is a girly-girl that loves to be outside playing in the grass! I wanted to make a dress that was a playful and cute.

So here is the Gracie Dress....

First time Blogger

2009-08-24T21:55:00.003-05:00

Hello anyone and everyone! This is my first time to blog so I hope that I can meet all expectations and not bore anyone to tears....

I started sewing a few weeks ago with a Singer beginner that my wonderful husband got me for my birthday. Since then I have become Obsessed! I think about fabrics and sewing constantly now! I love all those cute boutique style dresses and outfits but do not want to pay the outrageous price for them!

Here are a few things that I have created thus far.... A special thanks to my husband who took the amazing pictures :)
