Glitter and chaos will be the name of my new blog, but it will be too much work to set up so here we are. Glitter is optional, the chaos is mandatory.
I was able to get all the hand work done on that wedding dress yesterday, it took quite a long time. Today it is all about the machine.
Sissie was here after her dentist appointment and she just left. Which means I can get away with doing nothing... She told me to clean my house. How rude! It is just a little messy and that is mostly glitter.
I do have some major sewing to do today, and I hope I can spur myself on... I mean to sew that is not to play on my cell phone or watch James Bond re-runs.
It is another beautiful day here, the sun is shining and it will be about 50. I ran to the store last night as I was out of milk and yogurt. Found three packages of bacon for 75% off. Bought all three. Put two in the freezer. When I go to the gym tonight, I will stop at Winco for tomatoes and lettuce, as I am hankering for a BLT.
I received the last of my tax documents so I can start on those, but first I must get some sewing done. The dreaded list.
1. finish wedding dress!!!!!
2. redo collar on a sweater
3. shorten neck on two sweaters
4.shorten sleeve on little boys' shirt
5. shorten sleeve on little boys' coat.
I have a new client, and I always get the hard ones. A little boy born with one shorter arm and a curvature of the spine. He is a sweetie. But his alterations are hard. I am going to design a set of mittens for him. I picked up a couple pairs of cheap mittens last night to mess with and do a prototype. Right now, I have the suit he will wear for his mom's wedding. I get all the really good stuff, right? Lucky me. Little person called me after picking up his lot and said everything fit well and how grateful he was to Sis and me. I thought that was nice. It is always nice to be appreciated as well as paid.
Sissie went to the dentist this morning and she has a dead lip and is talking funny. I won't get much out of her today. Her back fence is being re-done, and I am excited to see it! Just need to get over there before dark.
Well, I could sit here all day and type, but I do have work to do, drats! Tell me something exciting that is happening in your life. Or tell me something not so exciting. Just tell me something. I am desperate for news of others. THAT WAY I CAN SEE MY LIFE IS NOT SO MUNDANE.
The mundane life, could be a name for another blog. I am just full of ideas today.
How about the idea of working? Not so keen on that one.
I am off, and not just to get something done...
God is good
Kim
