Thursday, Greenhouse going up!

 My two sisters and I together would be right in line with this meme.

I had another bride call yesterday for a quick turnaround on a wedding dress.  So far, she has not arrived, but I am hoping. That would mean I have two wedding dresses to go out before the end of October.

I had to laugh at myself as I made my mind up not to write any checks, and I was not going to spend any money.  Then I realized I was out of stamps.  So, I dug through my purse and found what I thought was enough to buy a book of stamps.  The last time I bought stamps was after Joel died and I bought a roll of forever stamps. Anyway, I get to the post office, and I am .15 short to buy a book of stamps.  I was frustrated because now I would have to write a check.  GRRRRRR.  But the Post mistress dug through a change jar and gave me 15.  I always take a large platter of Christmas cookies into the post office every December.  They all know me, so I was able to stick to my goal for one day.

Sissie said I need to feed the three men that are putting up the green house.  She suggested Pizza. I thought no stew and cornbread.  Or something I can make here. But she wanted pizza, so she is buying.  I have a good sister.

I also finished another chart. Onto #22

This has been such a weird year for the shop and savings. It started out well and then got really slow and now seems to have sped up again. Just not my usual cash flow. But things are returning to post covid norms for me. Other than prices being way higher.

One of the blessings of living in this part of the country is we have Washington waterpower, which has the cheapest electric rates in the nation. Most of Idaho is not blessed with this goody.

I have to finish the karate uniform this morning.  I had it cut and ready yesterday, but after 3 hours of hand work on a wedding dress my right wrist was screaming.  It is still really stiff.  I could tell last night when I practiced the piano it was going to blow.  Sure, enough it was practically frozen this morning.  But typing is helping to loosen the darn thing.

I would like to get out and do some clean up in the garden, but my wrist is not cooperating.

Anyway, I was able to complete two aprons yesterday and I have the bias tape cut for and third.  Lil sis ordered 100 yards (yes 100) of black bias tape for some project at her office.  Then I got the remainder. I think I have about 80 yards. It has to be cut as it is supper wide, but I will use it up eventually. I can use it to bind aprons and potholders.

I was also thinking of making some Christmas lap quilts for my kids and grandkids.  I have so much Christmas fabric that was given to me.  I also found a beautiful piece of green velvet enough to make Kelsa a Christmas dress. I am excited about that. I love sewing little girl dresses.  I sewed all my daughter's dresses for holidays.  I also made all their nightgowns and robes. Thinking of cute Christmas ideas.

Still thinking of doing an apron give away.  What thinks you?

Tomorrow pictures of Greenhouse progress.

Have a great and productive day

God is good
