Friday, 2 in a row no way!

     I had such great plans for yesterday and it started out so well.  But before I got my pile leftover from the day before done, my sewing machine broke.  I mean flat our would not pick up a stitch.  This machine was purchased for me by Hub's for Christmas so is still under warranty.  So frustrating.  I did everything I could think of, but to no avail. So loaded up the machine and took it back to the shop where it was purchased to be sent int.  Then I returned to open a new machine  which I had on hand.

     Now I have to learn the ins and outs of a new machine.  Luckily I have sewed enough I can get the jist of the basic stitches, but it is still going to be a learning curve for everything.  When I was finally able to sew again, I get a text from studio owner.  The fair is going on and her daughter's 4-H modeling has been announced at the  time she teaches an advanced tap class, can I go down?

     I continued sewing and actually did get down what I had planned for the day, so I can't complain about work.  I really enjoyed the class.  It is fun to work with dancers you can just throw choreography at and they pick it up.  All of us really got a work out.

     Then is was onto a relief society meeting.  About twice a year we have a Zion's market where we clean out our homes and bring anything extra to the church to trade or bless others.  What is not taken is then taken to Goodwill.  There was a lot of nice stuff there, but I only took home  hangers for the shop.  Hub's threatened to frisk me when I got home to see if I brought anything we did not need.  The shop always needs hangers.  I was safe.

     While I was helping clean up I received a call from D#2 she was in town with Will and was going to stay over night at Lil sis's as we had no beds. So both Hub's and I went over to Lil Sis's to see our sweet William and daughter.  He is so funny and cute.  I am telling you grandchildren are the best.

     Today I have the littles and William so it is a houseful.  Both littles are teething and very cranky today.  They are usually so good.  I just had a bride try on and the dress fits great it is now time for me to finish it.  So I will try and fit that in after the chaos quiets down.  I also have a dirndl (German) to enlarge that I tore up yesterday.  I am getting there.  I have a lab coat to shorten the sleeves, 4 shirts to hem, the horrid  mother of the bride I have been avoiding, some zippers to replace and coats to alter.  If I don't take in anything new I think I can do all of this before we leave.

    I just broke up a fight and came back to sit on a truck, ouch and now I think there are some stinky pants to change and I am not talking about Hub's.

I am off to conquer the world one diaper at a time.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
