Still! Diet Cokes made me gain weight. I lost weight as soon as I started drinking Caffeine Free Coke, the regular stuff. And, I feel better. Diet Coke is evil. But, I drank it for 30 years despite knowing better. Now, I do better.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-47056812105379230292019-07-11T22:40:06.443-07:002019-07-11T22:40:06.443-07:00I love yard work and it is great exercise.

But sometimes things like fringe and 5000.00 dresses can scare me. Good for you rehabbing a chair.

I'm not a sewer, but get cold chills thinking of cutting into a $5k dress for any reason at all.<br /><br />Today, I worked in the yard for four hours, organized all of our photos, cleaned the kitchen & shuttled the kids around. I was exhausted after the yard work, and filled the yard waste again. Guess the rest of the yard work will have to wait for next weekHawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-81279616322473070542019-07-11T19:23:27.105-07:002019-07-11T19:23:27.105-07:00You are SO talented!

I wanted 2 rolling chairs for my sewing room but didn’t want to pay retail for new ones. We found 2 at the Habitat thrift store. One was already Apple green vinyl and now the other one is fabric Apple green. Total cost was $12.<br />I also shortened a pair of black pants into capris for me. <br />And sewed 2 barrel pillows for a camper my son is redoing. Strangest fabric ever- looks like cork with gold flecks and I don’t think it’s true vinyl but it worked with like vinyl. I didn’t like doing them but they turned out great.

I&#...I am in awe of your sewing talents- seriously! I'm from Australia and have never seen an authentic Indian garment. What a huge undertaking and also the hem on that skirt. So much work. I live on a farm in drought ridden NSW, Australia's most populous state. 97% of our state is in severe drought and no crops planted as no rain. This is the 2nd yr of drought on our farm but others a few hours away are in there 7th year! Hard to comprehend! With climate change the outlook is not good. We run 500 goats on 2000 acres but not much left on the ground feed wise, though we have a bore for water, thank goodness. <br />Today I'll make a chicken and corn soup for dinner with toasty garlic bread and make some little Christmas cards. I love cardmaking. I'll also make some chic brownies. Then I'll do a little sewing myself. I'd love to make a start on some linen and cotton tops and dresses for summer as last Summer was horrendous. <br />The heat started in September and finally cooled down last month! So 10 mths of heat, it was awful. We've missed Autumn altogether and are into Winter. We are going to a Small Farms Agricultural Show tomorrow 2hrs away in Mudgee where 20,000 people go over two days so that's huge! Will be 12 degrees and strong cold winds so I'll need to rug up. <br />Enjoy your day and so happy to have found your lovely blog.
