We are 40* this morning and it's supposed to be rainy and breezy, but so far, all is calm. There is a 1600 shot vaccination clinic at a church just past our house today. Mobile LED signs have been placed on either side of our driveway to direct traffic. Guess we won't be going anyplace today. Yesterday we ended up going to Costco, where, while pushing a very heavy cart while DH was making a phone call, I torqued my back and it was really hurting by the time we got home. So, after packaging foods for the freezer, I was off to chiropractor, and then, I got an impromptu haircut. Very little sewing got done. But today, I'll be all over those paper pieces!
BECCA - I remember your DGS getting married - and him sending your TP! I bet they are excited about the new baby. In your family people are probably more excited to hear if it's going to be one or two rather than boy or girl!
JANA - Funny about the waterbed. I used to have a waterbed, too, and with cats, there were a few leaks.
But oh, all that storage underneath was great! Until, like you said, the bed had to be moved. When will your new floor be laid? Will this be DIY or is your "guy" doing it? Is that next or the ceiling? Exciting times at your house and at Judi's, too, as she is re-doing her basement as well. I want in on that tour Tina requested. Our stairs and bathroom, when they get started, will be small potatoes in comparison. We finally remembered to call the flooring guy yesterday but he was out on a measuring appt so we left a message. We are in no hurry.
TINA - you were busy in your sewing room! I forgot what you are doing with all those strips. A tee shirt isn't difficult as long as you use iron-on stablizer. 50 is a lot of shirts and this project could get quite expensive so hope someone else is paying for fabric and supplies. You could always just cut logos from the "lesser" shirts and sew them into borders. I bet Mary Rose had an endocopy or colonoscopy? Hope she gets favorable results back soon.
LORI - Bill and I got a regular king bed after we got married. (29 yrs on Feb 14). I haven't missed the waterbed at all. We have a dual control mattress warmer now and I warm up my side before I go to bed. Cozy! I don't know if all your crew would fit in my 10x10 sewing room! lol! Scottie joins me often. Especially if it's getting close to his suppertime. He's big for a sheltie - almost the size of a small golden when he sprawls out. Just doesn't weigh as much at 36#.
Bill chose breakfast last night and HE COOKED! Sort of. I had potatoes all par-boiled and shredded plus the onions and peppers were diced. But he did look fine holding the spatula in front of the potato pan! I did the eggs, and we shared turning the bacon. And it was all delicious! So tonite will be mini-meatloaves, baked potatoes, and roasted brussels sprouts.
How is the planning going in your kitchen?
