I'm trying to remember what I've done this week. Between the heat and my husband having some pretty bad back problem I feel like I haven't accomplished much. I fixed a skirt for my youngest daughter. The only problem was that the mend was visible so I added a BIG button and then threw on …
This has been such a hot week, and I don't function well in heat. My children have been enjoying the heat - they've had a couple of water fights. I was able to get some sewing and scrapbooking accomplished, and tomorrow we're having a scrapbook party (all day) at my house. I always have fun and …
This has been a busy week of sewing, sewing and more sewing. I've enjoyed it so much. It has felt awesome to clear out some of the projects in my mountainous pile of projects. I made four messenger bags - three for children and one for a lady friend. I also mended several things that …
I've found a way to do a little - very little - bit of gardening this year. I'm not complaining though because last year's gardening time amounted to zero. I'm not much good at it, but I do love to garden. This year I treated myself to three hanging flower baskets to hang outside the …
This has been a busy week. I started the week with not being able to access my website and spent more time than I care to admit talking to a technician and waiting for emails from technicians and trying to figure out what those emails said. Finally though my blog is back up although I …
This week we've had some really gorgeous days, and my children have had so much fun playing outside. I've done some de-cluttering and scrapbooking, some sewing and card making. It has been a productive week. We've hung our laundry outside a couple of days and see our rhubarb starting to poke up! Yeah! I've moved …
It's been four weeks since I put a "Friday File" up. Between my sickness, the children's sickness, and rural internet not working March was just not a good month for my blog. I'm hoping now that we are all better to get back into the swing of things because I have so many things I …
I had a lot of fun sewing and crafting this week. First, here is a picture of the nightgown I made for my second daughter. Well, actually two pictures. The second picture is a close up of the pin tucks and lace on the collar because even a flannel nightgown can have a touch of …
We're still in a bit of recovery mode here from the flu. It's that time of year when we all take turns being sick. It's especially good when my oldest daughter and I manage to be sick at different times so we can take turns taking care of everyone. I've spent all week playing catch …
Last Saturday my husband bought me a new sewing machine. The one I had had served me well for over fifteen years. I'm passing it along to my daughters for them to learn how to sew on. My new sewing machine is computerized and runs like a dream. I've been having so much fun learning …
