Well, my trip to the gym last night was blah! Nothing to report. Everyone was normal. How boring. I am still not sure how to use many of the machines, but I think I will enlist help as they have a free trainer there to teach you how to use equipment. I just have to make sure and behave. That will be the hardest part.
Got all the sewing done on my list yesterday so was pretty proud of myself. I have a wedding dress ripped and ready to sew. It is horsehair braid so you can understand I am really excited about finishing it.... NOT!
Another wedding dress in this morning and it will be a challenge. But I love a challenge as long as it does not involve horsehair braid.
I have two new songs for choir and I really like them both. Although one switches at the end from F# to four flats. Just when you think you are on a roll BANG!
I love to do silly frivolous things. I took out a yard of baby flannel and Kelsa, and I made doll clothes. She helped and the hems were anything but straight. She was so proud. My mother always let Kay and I be creative. Oh, we could make a mess, but we had such fun. I am still messy, Kay not so much, the love of creating is strong in this old soul. Why? Because it makes me happy.
So don't be afraid of doing something frivolous just for the fun of it. Trust me it will bring you joy.
Todays list:
1. finish wedding dress
2. mend suit and replace zipper
3. shorten sleeves on a dress coat and replace buttons
4. start altering a pile of men's clothes
That is enough for the day, I think.
I am having trouble having no spend days. It is like every day I really need something. I needed overcoat buttons and black thread, so stopped by hobby lobby last night. I am not doing well on that challenge. Wanted at least 15 no spend days a month and I only have 4 so far. Not a good track record.
The posts for the fence between my house and the neighbors are up. Now we have to have the posts for the driveway installed. I guess this is the hard part and once the posts are up the fence goes up quick. It is going to look so nice. Joy for the day, seeing the posts go up.
Okay now I have to go and face the horsehair braid pray for me.
God is good

My son is doing a course with his local gym to become a personal fitness trainer & last night I read him your last post over the phone but I was laughing so much I could hardly get the words out. He laughed too - which is great.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to do things just for the Joy of it Kim - I am making beaded crafts with my Grandson this morning - he has beads all over the floor currently but it is still fun. xx
I totally agree about doing things just to make yourself happy. I
ReplyDeleteam doing things that do not make me happy right now, but the end result will be worth it. It is amazing how doing deep cleaning in the laundry room cabinets has yielded all sorts of products I didn't even know I had.
I'm trying to figure out that silly thing to make me happy, but will keep trying. That's adorable that she made clothes for her doll. How will she learn without trying? Yes, the trainers are there to help. They don't want people getting injured so utilize them. You can still get the Snickers watching the interesting fashion choices. But hey, maybe that's their silly?
