Lil Sis gave our Oliver his first haircut and he looks so old now. More like a little boy not a baby. Looks even more like his daddy.
I have turned down at least 6 sewing jobs this morning. Some will wait until I get back but others will have to punt. I am done.
Hubs started smoking kokone this morning so the whole place smells like a smoker. After all the fire land smoke this is slightly different. Actually a little more pleasant.
I am going to try and get a few things done today in the shop and mostly work on wedding dresses. If I can get these done, I will feel like I can tackle the rest.
1. bustle, fix straps, and darts on a wedding dress
2. hem a wedding dress
3. alter the sleeves and put straps and a bustle on a wedding dress
4. fix cap sleeves, hem and bustle a wedding dress
5. alter a wedding dress for a fitting
If I can get 3 of these done today I will be thrilled. I am going to time myself to see how long each job takes me so I can have a little fun. Okay my kind of fun is a little stilted, but...
Got on line and the phone and finally got our excursions planned for the cruise. Thank goodness Slugs has her head on straight, as I do not. Still have to get hubs through the covid test website.
Hubs is building an attachment for the back of our truck to put the kayaks on, so we can still put a 4 wheeler in the back if needed. Right now they are not allowing 4 wheelers in the wood, so we won't be taking Nates up with us, but this way we could load both if needed.
I have a busy week ahead of me and I need to get to work.
What are you plans for the week? Any thing fun? Any projects? Anything you are dreading?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

What a big boy!!!!! So cute.
ReplyDeletePlan your work and work your plan!!!! You always sound organized.
I am anything but organized my friend, I just try and stay ahead of the ball rolling behind me.
DeleteI am so proud of you for learning to say no! Milestones!
ReplyDeleteOliver is so precious!
I am filled with envy about your cruise but what a great trip you are going to have! Pictures! We need lots of pictures (especially pictures of shenanigans!)
I know! I wish you were going with us, we would have such fun. It is such a relief to say no.
DeleteWay to go with getting your work sorted, and prioritizing what you can finish!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch going on this week: dentist appointments for everyone, ortho appointment for Sam, two back to school events, a really busy work schedule, Nick's referee training... the normal stuff. ;-)
It is a relief to know what I have to do and what is left. This will be your busiest time as those boys are teenagers. Enjoy as it passes quickly.
DeleteIt is good you are saying "no" to work. The first haircut is cute and he does look older. My mother cried when I cut my son's curls, not his hair, just curls around the bottom. I had to look up kokone--fish? I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you get good news.
DeleteMy goodness you are so right, he looks like a grown up little boy now.
ReplyDeleteGlad you turned down work. I was a bit frightened that you wouldn't. You deserve a rest.
God bless.
And Jackie it is such a relief, you have no idea.
DeleteLittle Oliver has just the sweetest face!!
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable and looks just like his daddy.
DeleteAww Oliver does look like a big kid now; so cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to get the wedding dresses finished. I'm glad you are turning down work. Sounds like you have enough to do before your trip.
Glad you were able to get the cruise straightened out. You are going to have so much fun!
I am so looking forward to getting out of here. I feel like I have been on a dead run for months. Turning down work is a good feeling.
DeleteSuch a cute baby! Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteWe loves him so much.
DeleteOliver looks like a big boy with his haircut. Good for you for saying No when you need to. My MIL is going on a cruise soon too and was talking about having to get a COVID test before hand. I hope you have loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteI AM SO WORRIED NOW THAT THEY WILL CANCEL IT BECAUSE OF PEOPLE WHO DON"T GET SHOTS.
DeleteMy daughter’s getting married in three weeks and I’m now starting to get worried. She had to reschedule from last year to this date!!
