Tuesday

 There was nothing unusual about the start of the day.  The same old same old on just about everything.  I was at the sewing machine at 6:15.  That was a little unusual.  I wanted to finish up the last of the fabric and with another early hitch after taking Eric to Nora I finished ALL the sewing around 9:30.  All of the fabric was changed into something not called a sheet.  


It was time to start exploring Goodwills.  But I needed gas so back to Nora for a gas fill up.  Then a little stop to see what was new at the Nora Goodwill.  And they had new.  I found 5 sheets.  Two twins and 3 Kings each for 3:99.  And that was the end of shopping.  Was I happy or was I not?  I wasn't quite sure.  Really happy with the bargains.  All 3.99 each.  But the morning fun was cut short.  I wan't going to buy any more so why spend the gas?  I had no good reason to move to another store. 

                                                                A nice collection of new stuff. 

I'm finding out that there are few sheets that are 100 percent cotton.  Things change and the nylon/cotton sheets are filling the need perhaps even better than those 100 percenters.

So the rest of the day was spent figuring out the best way to get the most 28 by 36 pieces out of each sheet. So far there are 17 ready for sewing and then my best guess is 18 more to get ripped  That should keep me busy for a while. 



I ordered more boneing which arrived today just as I was cutting the first purchase into the last of 14 inch pieces.  They hold the fabric away from the body so the mother can see her baby.  Thank goodness I did not see a baby.  Woo!

So the beet, the beat goes on.  Moving closer to the goal.  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! 


There was a quick salad for supper and then came chair time along with blogging.  It's been another good day.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the s...

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer....
