[PrincessNancy96]

If I make these big lists and accomplish 2-3 things than I can reward myself w/ a little DIS time throughout the day... What's funny is that is just the little stuff.. there are still a dozen more things that I need to add...

Now you gals can explain to DH why I'm tried when he comes home.. I do actually do work being at home!!!!

 

[tinkryansmom]

OK for today we shall keep it short and easy -

1. Get DD8 off to school on time! done

2. Do last nights dinner dishes. Unload, load and run dishwasher

3. I am sure there is some did put one load into the dryer.

4. Maybe attempt to write thank you cards.

DH is out of town and of course the night before he leaves DD of 6 months is diagnosed with RSV. So it's breathing treatments every 6 hours for me. Have to find things that even though they are not priority they can be done with DD on lap or with a minimum about of mess. I have enough mess around here already with the scrapbooking orgnizing and chair reupholstering projects going.

Maybe I will sneak in a nap!! done

I need to :

1) Sew Towels

Are you EVER going to sew those towels?


Can't really be throwing stones here, I STILL haven't cleaned that fish tank. I just won't put on my list, 'cause I'm embarrassed.

Yeah, I guess I should be too embarassed to keep putting it on the list...

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

But then how will we know when you finish them?

Will you post pics?

I can't sew to save my life, so I am envious of that skill.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I figured you kept putting them there to see if anyone really reads the other lists.

I just keep putting it on there in hopes that I'll finally do them...I'm tired of looking at them, and I won't let myself do any fun projects till they are finished. Really, it's just cutting about 4" off each side and hemming...they are "too long"...

I just haven't been in the sewing mood...but once I start I have a few fun projects, like a Tink cover for my Cricut, and some quilted totes (like Vera Bradley) that I'm going to reward myself with

Maybe today really is the day

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

If I send you some material and Jolee's [these are for you to keep] would you make me covers? Just tell me how much material and how many Jolee's.

Some people are making them like a pouch that the cricut goes in. Mine doesn't really travel (yet) so I'm planning on making one with an open bottom, kind of like a tea cozy... I'll post a pic when I get finished... and I'll know better about fabric amount...

Covers? more than one?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine don't travel, so the tea cozy idea would work for me too.
I have the little bug and the big E.

You know, I kept seeing the towels on your list and everytime I think to myself "You can sew your own towels?" It never dawned on me that you could do that. How *do* you do that? Do you get towel material from Joann's or somewhere and then hem the edges?

Talk about embarassing. My cleaning ladies came this morning and while trying to clean my s/b room (which all they can really do in here is make sure there are no cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and vacuum since I don't want them to touch anything else ) Anyway, one of them tried to throw away a Wendy's cup that's been sitting here for almost 2 weeks, when I practically snatched it out of her hands and showed her that it has a code for a free music download. As soon as I did it, I felt like the biggest loser. Time to actually download a song and throw away the darn cup.

Yup, you can sew your own towels. When the kids were little I was too cheap to buy the hoodie ones for them, so I made them...

I've also done beach towels, and stuff like that, I think that's why my friends mom thought I would be able to hem hers...I'm just being sooo lazy about it...and I'm feeling guilty so I better just get that sewing machine out...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok, Debbie... we need a lesson in sewing towels 101 and where to buy the material... (blonde here!).... I could so use some more towels but hate to buy them... and if I can make them at a better price w/ 7 of us..that may be the way to go.... I can sew a straight line!!!
