Heh, how's that for a catchy blog title? Anyway, here's another linen blouse made from a table cloth recycled from the thrift store, cost: $4. Only two seams that run from wrist to waist, so it lies completely flat after ironing, turned under the neckline, wrists, and hem by hand, flat-felled the two seams by hand:
and I finished my taxes, dropping them off at the wonderful accountant's this morning at ten o'clock:
that neat stack represents two solid days--long ones--sitting and organizing. But I also couldn't find a particular thimble the other day, so I organized my sewing notions again and this time, no more opening all the tins to figure out what's inside!
and after Daisy saw my Samsonite "train" bag, and how handy it was for carrying either bible study materials, a bit of sewing to take into the car on a trip, or just about anything, she wanted one and the Lord provided this in a thrift store for me to discover for her--$1.91
And that's what I've been up to while it's been stupid hot. Oh, and I ordered a parallel bible for study and the print was too small, so coughing up the extra for a Large Print edition. Icky to get old, aye?
Today I get to go to Donna's and yak for hours and eat China Buffet food, after I get done at the accountant's appointment and drop off that impressive pile of paperwork. I have three beaded bags to take apart, her thread from Sauder Village and drop spindle they gave her, fibers to play with, another linen blouse to sew, two quilt blocks to applique. My life is so wonderfully full and I have so very many blessings to be thankful for.
Peace
Would you believe that I've been eating ice cream by the half gallon and lost a pound?Made a quiche yesterday to have something decent to munch on.
That suit case looks indestructable!
