I thought this was going to be a nice easy week of just sewing and quiet. Not so. I am hosting a book club on Thursday for a book I have not read, and I don't believe many others have either. I forgot I offered to host. I also need to take missionaries to dinner on Thursday right before book club. Need to go up and stay the night at Signe's as the boys have rocket camp, and she has work and Nate has been called out to Seattle. I will spend Wednesday night there and take kids back to my place after camp is over and then drop kids at her office at 5 and then onto restaurant for missionaries and then home for book club. So, I have to get my ducks in a row, and they are running and flapping...
They have called for a yard clean-up for some elderly couple tonight at 6, so I will be going there. I did do some spraying and dead heading last night in my own yard and still need to address places that scoundrels are coming into the garden. I have the heavy bricks but have not talked myself into moving then from point A to B.
I was able to get the Regalia done yesterday it was mostly hand work and leather is a beast on which to sew, I was grateful when I was able to use the machine on parts of the dress. I also spent a good deal of time on a wedding dress, that was all hand basting and now has to be tried on to complete with machine. It was also a beast. So basically, a day of hand work blah!
Not sure what is next in the shop. Maybe the next wedding dress, I think. Just found out my friend from the reservation has a few projects for me before the middle of July. I think a ribbon skirt, a dress and some beaded leggings which need zippers. Oh, my so fun. You can't say I am not blessed with work.
Now I probably need to get the house really clean if I am going to host book club and what am I going to serve? Maybe a red, white and blue theme? I will get Sissie on that. I am sure she will be thrilled.... I hope she will be thrilled...
You know if I just sat here and typed I would not have to sew. It is an idea!
I am off to the salt mines.
Have a great and productive day
God is good

Dinner, or just snacks I'm assuming if you're eating first with missionaries. What about a fruit pizza, with sugar cookie crust, whipped cream cheese, topped with whatever fruit is in season...of course strawberries for your red but maybe a few blueberries for the blue, and of course cream cheese layer is white. Date I say you could even cheat and buy cookie dough. Throw some pretzels and nuts in bowls, a pitcher of lemonade and call it done.
ReplyDeleteYou area clever time saver. I am going with strawberries, blueberries, angel food cake, whip cream, nuts, and candy. So red white and blue. Good idea!
DeleteOh, angel food cake is a great idea and even more streamlined than my suggestion.
DeleteGosh, I couldn't stand to be on the go so much - I prefer my quietness. Guess I am just a homebody. You sure keep busy - you need to learn that one word "NO"!
ReplyDeleteDon't think that will happen but good news missionary dinner tonight so not so rushed. I do not like something every night as I too like to stay home, so having three things in one afternoon evening and getting it out of the way really works for me. But at my age now I might have to rethink this.
DeleteHow about muffins and a loaf or two to serve at the book club. Perhaps some crackers and cheese as well. I do like the idea of a fruit pizza, but I was thinking you might have muffins and loaves in your freezer to save you work and time.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I wish I did Jackie, but those are good ideas!
DeleteHow about going to bed and pulling the covers over your head? Close the curtains and pretend you're not home? This would be the only way I could cope if I had that much to do. Bless you. You are a miracle worker.
ReplyDeleteThe thought had occurred to me.
DeleteIt seemed like that first paragraph was a run-on sentence! I know it was not, but it was so busy for you. You stay busier than I could stand. But, I am old. or something.

DeleteMy life is a run on sentence. Linda I need you here, shop is getting super busy, when can you get here? Plane ticket? Valium? What do you need?
DeletePlane ticket and valium, bit of chocolate.
DeleteLinda, so glad to know you are okay. I have been checking your blog every day!
DeleteI know you've got this Kim.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori, actually Sissie has it. She will do the set up. I am blessed.
ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of Zippers! Fly duckies, fly into line!
