  How I feel.  What I am doing.... Going to Joanns for lining.  I will wear a mask. Kelsa giveth but does not taketh away unless it is your sanity. Aunty and I both have cold, but at least we will be over the worst by the time we leave. I have way too much to do. But I will plug along, with my kleenex in hand.  I had a wonderful birthday and thank you to all who wished me happy birthday. The kids made it special and Kelsa was so funny. Love that kid. Well I am off. I wish my nose would quit running. Kim  ..read more

 Okay this is mean toward men, but I thought it was so funny. I am bad I know. But I just could not help it and had to share. This afternoon I am taking Aunty in for a pedicure and me for my nails.  Next week I am going in for a pedicure and dragging my girlfriend with to also have her toes painted for our trip to Hawaii!  You know who you are as I know you read this blog so get ready, I already made the appointment. Look threats by blog who knew? Aunty and I are going up to daughter's house in Colton to stay with kids overnight as she is doing a ride along with her husband ..read more

  It is beautiful outside!  I have the first of the bulbs I planted blooming.  Kelsa and I went out and picked a few daffodils. It got up to 70 yesterday afternoon and I worked in the yard for about an hour. The shop was busy all day and the day just kind of got away from me.  My model came by, and I have a couple of designs to get done for her, so I will work on those today and then take Kelsa to Dance later this afternoon. I don't know how that kid does it but the minute she hits the house it looks like an explosion takes place. I just ignore it until she leaves, then pi ..read more

Monday, Crazy weekend

  For someone who worked most of the weekend, this is really how I felt. Thursday, I spent all day and I mean all day doing hand work.  I had to finish up a wedding dress that needed so much hand work.  Like hours of it and I sat in front of the TV and did this until evening when I finally finished.  Well that meant that I had not really moved my right shoulder but had used the muscles around it causing it to flair and stiffen. So, I was in pain and frustrated, as I knew better but did it anyway. The damn dress is done! Friday, I spent a good amount of time in my yard, wor ..read more

Thursday, Getting warmer

 I know a one hour time difference should not be so hard but for some reason it is for me.  Or I am just using it as an excuse to stress myself out about not sleeping.  More likely the later. It is a beautiful day here and I am so hoping it will stay that way and not overcast. Most of the day will be spent on hand work, pants to hem, Wedding dress I should have worked on yesterday to finish.  I also want to pull the last wedding dress for May and get that done before I leave for Hawaii. I really want to do some yardwork tomorrow if it is nice. I am pretty proud of myself ..read more

 I bought a lemon last night at the store.  No particular reason other than to be aware that I had a lemon in the fridge.  Just in case..... Today I have a set of Military dress blues to alter.  They are ripped and ready.  Then I have a formal to hem and a wedding dress to finish. If I can get through all of those I will be happy. I have to pick the kids up this afternoon about 2:30 as Nathan goes to work and then take Kelsa to Ballet. So I will plod through the uniform and then on with the show. Kim ..read more

  I had an appointment this morning to get my soon to expire driver's license renewed. Then home to deal with Kelsa. She was so cranky last night.  E-GADS.  SHE PLAYED HARD ALL DAY WOULD NOT NAP AND THEN HAD DANCE LESSONS. Talk about a grouch.  I put her to bed early and she fell asleep thank goodness.  She is usually such a happy little thing. But now we know what lurks beneath that smile.  Ran to the store last night to get milk and juice and raisin toast for Aunty.  My goodness raisin bread is pricy.  I am going to try and make some. I bought chicken ..read more

  " As the days get longer the cold gets stronger." That is what is going on here.  We finally get sun, but it is frosty and cold outside. Which really is okay as I would want to be outside if it was warm and I have no problem staying in the warm shop. Aunty is busy quilting and having a ball.  I hope... She is using a satin material, and it is harder to work with. But the quilt is beautiful! I have two more wedding dresses done and ready for pickup and I have another that will have a fitting this afternoon.   It is very hard.  I had to take it up in shoulders ..read more

Tuesday, Keeping it all straight

 I think the hardest part of my life is my confusion.  I get confused easily.  It is hard for me to keep things straight, with so much going on all the time.  I really think it would be for anybody, so I don't beat myself up too much. I have three wedding dresses out and I have to keep track of what bags they go in, it is easy to lose track.  I have piles of pants and I have to keep tickets pinned to them that tell me what to do. I have to get all the correct info on a bridal tag so I know what and where.  This is what Sissie will do for me. I love to sew and cre ..read more
