Here I am again. Havent done much sewing the last couple of days, although I did make two insulated water bottle carriers for my daughter-in-law and my granddaughter. They are going to europe this summer and will be able to use them while they are over there. Got them off in the mail today. I am also working part time for the Census--wow you want to see waste!! Whew!! I dont know why I am surprised...Later |

I am very proud of myself today...I finally got an old project finished that has been hanging around for the past year. Whew! Am I ever glad to get it finished. It was two beach covers and a blouse...interesting story, I did some sewing for a lady down here on a temporary assignment--last July her job finished up and she was sent to Minnesota. She said dont worry about the work, get in touch with her when I was done. Well, I figured she would not need them through the winter, so the job sat on the back burner. Other jobs came and went and in between I just never got around to finishing up on these items. Well, today I finished, I called her to let her know and now I am waiting to hear back from her. MMHMM! I hope she got the message. I dont know what I am going to do with them if I dont hear from her....Another good reason not to put off till tomorrow what you can do today..... |

OK, I finally figured out how to get in here to write something. I have a new job I am making a mens frock coat circa 1850's. This is the second one I am making--the first one was for the groom, and this one is for the father of the groom. I went to two different fabric stores yesterday (that is my limited choice here in central Fl) and could not find black wool gabardine. Oh, they had other colors--just no black. How basic can you get???? Well, thank god for the internet, I found what I want and ordered it. I am just oldfashioned enough to like to feel the fabric before I buy it--but beggars cant be choosers. I already had to resort to the internet to find the copper buttons he wants on the coat, so now I am set to go (as soon as the fabric gets here!) |
