At Least 3 Things ~1/31/06~

[AlexWyattMommy]

You're a better seamstress than I.

My sewing machine make the prettiest stitch, on the top. Underneath, it looks like a fuzzy caterpillar. I'm sure it is something simple to fix, but I'm too simple to fix it.

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!!!

Terry fabric runs like $5 per yard and up...45" wide... Only skill involved is sewing a straight line.


I used to make ones like these...with store bought towels

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yeah! The game has been cancelled.. they are finally thinking ahead!!!
Now back to cleaning house..

Sounds like your tension is off. That is how I fixed my fuzzy caterpillar. Of course, someone who sews more than I do would be able to diagnose better.

My list for the day - where did the month go?

1. Work

2. Check over all the other Girl Scout troop cookies orders and (finally) submit them if they are good.

3. Call doctor's office to follow up on MRI. It's been a week and I've not heard a thing!

4. Pick up Prevacid prescription. Almost out of samples.

5. Finish last 4 pages so I can make my page total for the month.

6. Take pics of last several completed pages so I can upload and post to appropriate galleries and threads.

7. Sort all of the cardstock I bought yesterday into the appropriate holders/swap bags.

What she said....

 

[ddavis860]

What 3 things (or more) are you planning to accomplish? Return later and post you're done...

OK, last day of the month...can someone tell me where January went?

I need to :

1) Sew Towels nope

2) Go to the market done

3) Really finish CJ's nope

4) Fish for dinner nope...fish looked gross, beef stew instead

Nope, I DIDN'T get those towels done today

But wait...wait...I have a good excuse...I had unexpected company...

But I'm not putting them on the list anymore

 

[PrincessNancy96]

NOpe, not a show off.. just proves how disgusting my house is this week!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

then you haven't seen my house.....

 

[aroyer]

ARGH! I just broke one of my favorite candlesticks! It was in a set of three, now what am I supposed to do with 2??? Stinkin kitchen that needed to be cleaned.

Damn cleaning!!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

OMG! I cleaned DD's dresser... LOVE finding them notes... learn a lot... She does have a good head on her shoulders though.. the response back to one boy about kissing was priceless.. She told him that if he really liked her he'd be willing to wait... if not..that it was his loss... He responded with.. he'd wait...good thing.. if not some little boy would be in big trouble w/ 4 brothers!

Finished the laundry and have it all put away.. that won't happen again any time soon! DD is finishing her homework just in case there is school... I need to check the boys' bookbags both said they didn't have homework.. I hope not or there are going to be some disappointed boys when they return because there will be no TV tonight if I find homework..

 

[PrincessNancy96]

OH, that hurts.. I hate when that happens...So Sorry it broke.. excuse to go shopping!!!

 

[ddavis860]

OH, that hurts.. I hate when that happens...So Sorry it broke.. excuse to go shopping!!!

We really are thinking alike today. That was the first thing I thought too...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Told you!!!!
Man, I haven't been out except for essentials since 1/12.... I haven't even ventured out to Walmart... nor J's or M's.. DH just knows I'm sick... I told him... all the money I'm saving is paying the darn heating bill right now...

 

[aroyer]

Damn cleaning!!!!

Exactly!

OH, that hurts.. I hate when that happens...So Sorry it broke.. excuse to go shopping!!!

Hmmmm.... I didn't think about that.

 

[TPCShauna]

then you haven't seen my house.....

You should see MY house at the moment. I'm not allowed to lift anything due to the level of swelling in my knee and the doctor doesn't want me standing for any length of time so that means that DH is doing most of the housework and all of the laundry since I can't negotiate the steps into the laundry room at the moment.

He ruined three of my favorite shirts last week. It is going to take me three months to get the house clean again when I am better as his spot checks are barely adequate.

ARGH! I just broke one of my favorite candlesticks! It was in a set of three, now what am I supposed to do with 2??? Stinkin kitchen that needed to be cleaned.

Household items like favorite candlesticks are DEFINITELY exempt from the BAN. Time to shop!
