I decided to use this little Singer sewing box, my Sissie found for me at a second hand store in Wilkes Barre. We were shopping with Sluggy and Sis found this box. It is so cute and I have not stored anything in it yet. Today is the 51st day of the year and here is my .51 ready to go into the bank.Is anyone else going to join me on this little adventure? If you are please post a picture of your bank. See Kim have fun. I am such a loser. But I am a winner in savings! Yeah! The things I do to make myself happy. The things I come up with (or rather Cheryl) to entertain myself when I feel hemmed in by winter.
I have been telling my Lil sis that it rarely snows here and the last three years we have had more snow than in the 30 years before. Three years ago it was a nightmare here for 2 months. Last yer we got a heck of a storm late in the year for a two week run. I thought we would get no winter, (our typical winter) this year and I was so happy about that. Well we have had none stop snow for almost two weeks, none of it really sticking as it is too warm. Last night we had an accumulation of 8 inches and it is still snowing. Hub's has been out all day with the snow blower. I keep telling myself this will all be gone by then end of next week. I can tell you the kids are enjoying it!
Well I finally got the wedding dress done and ready for the finally try on. I will need to attach the bustling hooks, and the straps, but that must be done when the bride is wearing the dress. I still need to replace one of the coat zippers and I had another coat zipper come in. I think I go to Joanns almost every day for a zipper.
Classes at the studio have been cancelled tonight which is great for me. I have a baby shower to go to this evening if the weather cooperates. I had a client just drop off 10 curtain panels, so between zippers, more shirts, curtains and what ever else I can find to keep busy I won't lack for work.
I might even be able to find something to clean. Ha!
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
It's snowing here too ,only 2 inches,thankfully
ReplyDeleteIt has snowed here all day and is snowing like crazy right now. We have started planting our gardens at this time some years.
Deletewe had snow, then ice, then rain and woke up to about 2" of slush! It's gone now and we have rain.
ReplyDeleteLove it that you are doing the penny project. I need to do that too. I have a goal in mind for quite some time off - and that would be just the simplest way ever to save for it.
I should have known the lady on a mission to pay off - would do it!!!!! LOVE IT
I think it will be pretty easy until you get closer to $3.00 and over that might be hard to get to.
DeleteI'm doing the penny challenge too... I guess I'm as hemmed in the house as you are.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! What does your container look like?
DeleteYippee! I love it when I have someone to do a challenge with. Make sure you show us your container.
ReplyDeleteI found 2quarters in carts at aldis,I tried to pass on the cart to someone but they declined.
ReplyDeleteWow, you scored big today, make sure Sluggy knows we don't want her to get uppity....
DeleteWe've had a lot of rain here this week. I'm ready for the sun to come out and dry all this wet mud up. I'm tired of it.
ReplyDeleteThis weather is something, but it will go away and then we will have beautiful sunshine. I think.
DeleteI love that box. It is so cute. Save those pennies because they turn into dollars. I am so sick of the snow that Spring can not come early enough for me.
ReplyDeleteDOn't we all get like this every year?
DeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteHope you are well. I've been following along but haven't commented for a while for one work load or winter virus reason. Anyway, I'm not sure you will be too interested in this but I thought I'd share it. I live in a town in the North East of England which had a massive steel works and lots of peripheral mines. All long gone but that's another story. The population here is mostly Irish Catholic and Church of England with some Methodism etc. So, I'm researching local coal mines and find that the mine my family worked in was orginaorig called the Latter Day Saints Colliery.
I'm assuming we had some enterprising Mormons in this area at one point but I'll research it and let you know the outcome if you are interested.
Love, Heloisexx
I would love to find out more, as New England was the area the church was founded. How interesting.
