Friday, Little things!

 

We actually have a large raccoon in the neighborhood that is killing ducks and chickens.  The plan is to trap it and take it far, far away. So far, (excuse pun) I have been spared but my neighbor has had three break ins and has lost three ducks.

Dinner went well yesterday.  Sissie came up and set the table.  I used my cobalt blue dishes from France.  The blue Patriotic themed decos are still up and will go to Fall in a few days.  It was my last excuse to use them, as they usually just sit in a cabinet looking pretty.

Had a piano lesson this morning, received two new songs, one for Christmas and one the choir will sing next month. Then home to get to work, as I was really lazy on Monday and Tuesday and then the upcoming Monday is a holiday, and this shop is filling up.

I have a couple of small items that are due out today and I did not get to my machines yesterday, I just greeted clients and added to the pile.

Last night when I was thinking about today's work, I told myself just make a list of all the little one off things that are in the shop.  There are many of them and start doing those.  Make the pile smaller one item at a time.  That is what I am going to do. Seems like an easy task.  I usually try not to sew a lot on Friday as it is supposedly my day off. But when one already too essentially three days off this week one must sew. Or at least that is what I am telling myself.
 
So, let's make a list!
1. hem pants one pair add suspender buttons
2. take in shirt
3. hem dress and skirt
4. hem dress and pants
5. hem dress
6. hem dress
7. hem dress
8. take in dress
9 hem scrubs
10.hem a pair of pants

We will see how much I can get done. Probably won't get through all of this but a girl can try.

The dryer just stopped, need to go and empty it onto the spare room bed, where it might stay for a while. Well maybe not. I did disperse it and folded what I could.  The ironing basket needs love and maybe I will do that tonight.  Find a good show and watch it while I iron.

Kay is gone visiting a friend so I will feed Dan dinner, it will be left over from yesterday. I have over 1/2 the German choc cake left so will probably slice it up after dinner tonight and take to neighbors.

Well, I had better get to work. I am setting the timer!

Have a great and productive day

God is good
