I won a blog giveaway from the Fall Into Fall Giveaway! So exciting! I won a very cute (and purple! - one of my favorite colors!) Sassy bag and matching tissue packet cover made by Myra! I can't wait to get it! Would be a good idea to email Myra and give her my mailing address. I will do that as soon as I'm done with this post.
What else? Things have been hectic in our household the last few days. My husband is currently in New Hampshire with his dad and cousin, working on getting the house all sided before the cold(er) weather hits. My husband called me this morning and said the sheetrock is being delivered this morning as well. Very exciting! I love the idea of having a "vacation spot". Granted, it's not going to be our house but I know my in-laws are going to let us use it whenever we like.
So since my husband is gone until Saturday afternoon, I'm in charge. Meaning, I have to get up extra early so that I can get in the shower and get myself ready for work, feed the animals (we own pigs and goats) before Amelia gets up for the day. Get Amelia fed breakfast and ready for school. Drop her off at school and then get myself to work. In the evening, I pretty much have to do the same routine, but in reverse... feed the animals... get Amelia ready for school the following day... blah, blah, blah. I'm exhausted!
I've tried 3 times this week to work on some sewing projects and to get Amelia's halloween costume ready. I've failed 3 times. By the time my evening routine is done and Amelia is tucked in bed, I'm wiped out and I just don't feel like thinking and concentrating. I will try again tonight! I pressed some fabric this morning so that I can square it up tonight and possibly (HOPING) I can at least get the fabric cut so that I can sew this weekend. I have to stop at the quilting store on my way home. I don't like a yard of fabric that I picked out for one of my projects. It competes too much with my focal fabric, which I just absolutely LOVE. So I have to go spend some money this evening.
That's it. I should probably post this and get back to work!
Enjoy your day!

OK..Im tired from all the stuff you have to do in the morning....I would gladly come feed those critters for you tho, its sounds fun!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMY OH MY!! You are busy, a vacation home sounds perfect, sounds like it is getting somewhat close to finish. Enjoy the weekend after a busy week.
ReplyDeleteyou sound so busy...but I can relate. Last night I pinned strips of fabric together...never did get time to sew them. maybe today if I am lucky. I understand how you feel about a vacation home. We have one in South Carolina. Unfortunately, we plan on putting it up for sale during our trip at Thanksgiving. SOuth Carolina is 13 hours from Ohio..so...it's just not used as much as we thought and let's be honest...times are tough right now with the stock market. but ending on a happy note...I'm glad you will get to enjoy a vacation spot.
