Everyone who has read me for a while knows my dislike of curtain hemming, but I will do it if the clients will hang the curtains first for 48 ours and mark them and then I still will not guarantee, but at least I have not had any real snafus since I started these measures. I think the ones that use me really like the fact that the curtains are pressed and ready to hang. Pressing or steaming curtains not my thing.
I did quite a bit of sewing yesterday, completing two bridesmaid dresses and much mending. Today after the curtains I have a few shirts to alter ad some uniforms and then I am caught up. Well I should say that I have at least three wedding dresses to alter but won't start those until I get back from daughter's.
We had leftovers for dinner last night and will finish up the veggies and potatoes tonight or at lunch. I need to bone out the ham completely and freeze all leftovers while we are gone. I also need to clean my fridge. There is always something to do around here.
We have a lady from our church coming to stay with us for awhile. She took a job as a rehabilitation assistant in town and is still trying to sell her house (where her family is) in Nevada. So she cannot afford to rent a place and it is almost impossible to rent short term in this college town. She has been staying with a young couple and helping the lady of the house who is having a bad pregnancy, but now her mom is coming for the duration until the baby comes and said woman is out of a place to stay. I hope it works out. I have met her many times and am close to the young woman she has been helping. She seems very nice, hardworking and responsible. I think she may be a little older than me, but as she is working full time maybe not. I am so glad that mom's room and bath are nice and clean and ready for a stranger.
The sun is shining and it is cold, but at least not snowing today. I cannot believe all the snow in the backyard and deck. It is crazy.
DO you have .57 cents for your bank? I am going to dig up my change right now.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

OH Kim, just when you had the house to yourself. You are an extremely generous soul!
ReplyDeleteI hate hemming curtains also, which is why my bedroom curtains are tucked under. If pressed for an answer I simply say it is a decorating choice. Yes sometimes my justifications might leave a manure trail and anyone who knows me feels perfectly fine calling me out on them.
I know, but this is pretty short term as her house has sold and they have just accepted an offer on another, so within a month and we have someone to stay with the cats and chickens as we will be gone the next two weekends. Works for us. I am blessed by blessing others.
DeleteThat is very nice of you to have that lady stay with you.
ReplyDeleteI hate hemming curtains and I have 4 to do right now plus sew 7 for summer.
