Random Thoughts

You ever have a week that you are just happy to be at home? This one of those weeks. Since I work at home many times I can't wait to get out of the house, but this week I have loved being at home!

I have finished many big sewing projects this week, including several Renaissance costumes for our high school madrigals, 2 dresses and altering a wedding dress, with a many other alterations thrown in there too. It is always a good feeling to know that I have finished a project and the customer picks it up and is happy with what I have done.

We have been cleaning out closets and getting our food storage organized. We emptied out a closet and put in a food rotation system to hold can goods. It looks great and works well. The problem is that we had other things in that closet that no longer fit. The "other things" have been piled all over the family room floor for weeks. I spent yesterday going though those items and deciding if I needed to keep them or if I could find them a new home somewhere else. After spending most of the morning going through things, I could finally say my upstairs family room was presentable again!

I have so busy sewing that I have not had time to play with any of my stamp sets. I recently received a few new ones and had not even had them out of the package yet. That was also something else that I did yesterday. I am hoping that I can start making some cards tomorrow.

Rain! We had a fun rain storm Monday afternoon. It rained so hard that two of my afternoon appointments cancelled, because they did not want to drive in the pouring rain! We have a metal patio cover in our backyard right off our kitchen/family room, when it rains it is really loud hitting on the aluminum. Monday's storm was so loud that when I turned on the TV, I turned on a channel and was watching a movie for almost five minutes before I realized that I was watching it in Spanish!

Well, I guess that is everything that I had on my mind. Sorry for the rambling!
