I completed another chart, and I hope to complete another before the end of the month but that might be wishful thinking. So, number 10 is in the works!
I have to get busy and sew today, I got the zipper basted in and now I have to machine sew it and I also want to get a couple of mothers of the bride dresses done and look in on another wedding dress. As I have company here all through the next couple of weeks and then will have to take the grandsons home in June, I need to get everything done and out.
I also will be taking my first trip of the year to Rehoboth Beach with my oldest daughter. We will do that in July, so I need to free up most of July. I am excited.
The shop has been busy all morning with piles and dresses coming in at a good pace. Which is great. Now I just have to do the work.
I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast, with an egg, and yesterday I made two strawberry rhubarb pies. We took one up with some ice cream to Joel's nephews house and had dessert there after dinner. We have a whole pie left for today!
Sissie is here cooking up a storm and all I want to do is take a nap. I have a bride picking up today. I had to realter her wedding dress because she got pregnant. I don't know why I am so sleepy but I am.
Ran to Home Depot last night to get ammonia and weed killer, and some Seven spray for squash bug if they appear. I went out and thinned the radishes which should be ready in a couple of weeks, and I plan on planting more. My bush beans are not coming up well and I so I think the seed was not good. I will replant where the holes are after I thin them and try and transplant the thinning's to the holes. Found evidence of something eating the ripe strawberries so I think we will be putting up a rabbit fence along the back. This means I will have to store the lawn mower in the garage for the season, as it won't fit through the garden path. But that is okay I cut what little grass is back there with the weed wacker.
I spend more time fighting critters and weeds that I do anything else.
Well, I am off to sew or to take a nap have not decided, but Sissie will be back and you know what she will decide!
Have a great and productive day.
God is good
Kim
I have always battled squash bugs, and I hated using chemicals. Last year I Neem oil spray (natural) and used and kept my squash all season long. If I saw something I sprayed and boom they were gone. It was my best year ever for squash.
ReplyDeleteI am at the point I have had no squash for two years so I am going to use the big guns this year.
DeleteYou're sleepy because of those biscuits and gravy. lol Rehoboth Beach isn't too far from me.
ReplyDeleteGood we can see you!
DeleteYou, my dear, get much more done than I ever do. Tell Sissy you definitely need at least a half hour nap.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I didn't get one and it was a long day. It will be longer today!
DeleteDang, woman! Look at that chart! You go!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to get those dang taxes paid!
DeleteI want a greenhouse to ward off some of the bugs and all of the bunnies. That might work for you. I would be afraid to sew in a zipper if I were sleepy.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted a green house for forever, maybe someday!
DeleteKim, I am continually amazed by all that you accomplish each day. I know alterations don't take that much time if you know what you are doing (which most of us don't, and that includes me) but I can't even imagine all of the bridal and formal wear sewing that you do. AND you have spring-cleaned your house and have time for piano practice and church activities (good for you!). You rock! Please send Sissie to my house, LOL
ReplyDeleteShe is very bossy...
DeleteI've never understood your chart thing, but yeah for you finding a system that works for you with success. You deserve your get away. Enjoy it. I know you'll get everything checked off by then. Jujy..that's less than 6;weeks away.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand it either. But it works for me.
DeleteWell done with the new chart. I am like Sam and I don't understand your formula for savings, (Does it go into an account, or is it used for things like travel ) but like she said, it works for you. By my figurings you are looking at nearly 10 grand in savings this year, which is mighty respectable!
ReplyDeleteYes I saved that much money to pay off or for certain things. Building the garden area for example. Even though I scrounged many of the supplies it was still a couple thousand.
DeleteIf you mean Rehoboth in DE be prepared for major changes. Lots of destruction and proposed construction on the boulevard near ocean. A few major landmarks that made the town quaint and special have been knocked down for commercial construction. It is so disappointing to residents.
