Friday, Another chart, and clean up

 


I can't get my pictures to download today, probably because of my really slow internet, so just imagine that this chart is a finished #7 and I am onto #8, okay?

I pulled about 20 yards of lace off those bridal trains last night as I relaxed and watched some TV. I was able to get that bridal dress done and another bridesmaid dress, also got a couple of bridesmaid dresses cut to knee length ready for a second try on.

Today I am going to do a few piles to have them ready for Monday and then give the shop a thorough cleaning. It is beyond a mess right now and so full that the mess makes it worse.

I do not have to go and relieve hubs today at Oliver's so I have more time to get my piles done that have been bothering me.  Hubs and I are going out to our favorite Mexican place tonight and without a coupon or gift card.  Don't die of shock.

I picked up more outdoor fabric to make a few more pillows and cushions for outside.  I had hubs reinforce all the old teak chairs we had and now I have another place for people to sit.  I also was able to score two blue metal side tables from daughter that she was not using outside as her place is so much smaller.  I had been looking for some and when I saw these in her garage she gave them to me.  I also needed to buy pillow forms and I went to Lil sis's last night and asked her if she had any she was not using. She went from a 4 bedroom house to a two so I thought she might have a few stuck away and she did.  So I was able to get three small pillow forms to recover for outside and I did not have to spend any money!  Hurrah!

Lil sis went to the Oregon coast for the next 4 days so I will be going over to water and feed the cats. It is cold and somewhat rainy here with no real rain.  I hope that don't freeze to death over there as they will have about the same weather but also wind.

I want to get the scare crow  made and up this weekend and also get the new cushions done, but I have to make a quick trip to Spokane tomorrow.

What are you plans for today? DO you have any plans for the weekend?  Do you ever go shop your families leftovers to save money?


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

  1. When the wind dies down, if ever, I need to go out and spray paint. I saw some paint for outdoor fabric at Lowe's in the spray paint section. Interesting. Have you ever seen that? It is going to be in the 90s for the next week, at least. No rain but plenty of wind that is causing my asthma to act up. But, I won't freeze.

    1. I wish it was 90 here. I am sure that paint is for outdoor fabrics that have faded, great idea!

  3. My plants are all still covered up as the temperature is just above freezing again overnight. Poor plants will really be in rough shape once I uncover them all.

    Sounds as if you had a very productive day.

    God bless.

    1. I did and it is still cold here with no sun, but not freezing. In fact I think the plants like it better than the 92 degrees we had last week.

  4. Having five of my childhood friends (some I've known for 59 years!) over for lunch. We're all vaccinated and haven't seen each other in over a year. Can't wait!

  5. Well done on the chart. Our visa was really high and need to figure out why. We don't need mindless shopping.
