Monday, Getting things done!


 Lil Sis gave our Oliver his first haircut and he looks so old now.  More like a little boy not a baby.  Looks even more like his daddy.

I have turned down at least 6 sewing jobs this morning.  Some will wait until I get back but others will have to punt.  I am done.

Hubs started smoking kokone this morning so the whole place smells like a smoker.  After all the fire land smoke this is slightly different.  Actually a little more pleasant.

I am going to try and get a few things done today in the shop and mostly work on wedding dresses.  If I can get these done, I will feel like I can tackle the rest. 

1. bustle, fix straps, and darts on a wedding dress

2. hem a wedding dress

3. alter the sleeves and put straps and a bustle on a wedding dress

4. fix cap sleeves, hem and bustle a wedding dress

5. alter a wedding dress for a fitting

 If I can get 3 of these done today I will be thrilled.  I am going to time myself to see how long each job takes me so I can have a little fun.  Okay my kind of fun is a little stilted, but...

Got on line and the phone and finally  got our excursions planned for the cruise.  Thank goodness Slugs has her head on straight, as I do not.  Still have to get hubs through the covid test website.

Hubs is building an attachment for the back of our truck to put the kayaks on, so we can still put a 4 wheeler in the back if needed.  Right now they are not allowing 4 wheelers in the wood, so we won't be taking Nates up with us, but this way we could load both if needed.

I have a busy week ahead of me and I need to get to work.


What are you plans for the week?  Any thing fun?  Any projects? Anything you are dreading?


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

  3. Way to go with getting your work sorted, and prioritizing what you can finish!

    I have a bunch going on this week: dentist appointments for everyone, ortho appointment for Sam, two back to school events, a really busy work schedule, Nick's referee training... the normal stuff. ;-)

    1. It is a relief to know what I have to do and what is left. This will be your busiest time as those boys are teenagers. Enjoy as it passes quickly.

  4. It is good you are saying "no" to work. The first haircut is cute and he does look older. My mother cried when I cut my son's curls, not his hair, just curls around the bottom. I had to look up kokone--fish? I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.

  5. My goodness you are so right, he looks like a grown up little boy now.

    Glad you turned down work. I was a bit frightened that you wouldn't. You deserve a rest.

    God bless.

  9. Oliver looks like a big boy with his haircut. Good for you for saying No when you need to. My MIL is going on a cruise soon too and was talking about having to get a COVID test before hand. I hope you have loads of fun!
