weekend progress
The weekend was quite busy and didn't get as much done "craft wise" as I had hoped for.
Had to go to the grocery store on Saturday morning due to the fact that a "new top" was added to our cove friday and was blocked to traffic til that evening. We got home from the store and Luke and Tommie were already here waiting to follow us to Dad's for the BBQ. I rushed around like a "mad woman" getting the perisable stuff put away, the slaw made and everything gathered up to go. We went, had an "okay" time and got home around 7pm.
Sunday we worked in the yard doing some much needed "bed work" and finally getting the last of the old patio cover damaged from the hail storm in March cut up and put into containers to be thrown away. It was time to fix some lunch and have a shower. Then buy some digots, etc on the computer for a while. When I finally got around to the "workshop" it was 4pm. I had mentioned before that I am going to be Raggedy Ann for the costume party....added to that sewing project... it was also decided that Briley's gift will be a Raggedy Ann doll with matching outfit. I got the doll put together and all she needs is her wig. I started her outfit...got the bloomers and started on the apron when...OH NO...the sewing machine decides to "flake out"!!!! It will sew other fabrics but for some reason has decided not to work on the white fabric???? The bloomers were from the same fabric and it worked for part of the apron???? Tony says that since the fabric is from an old sheet from Mother Bess' linen closet that she doesn't want it to be used for Raggedy Ann??!!??
To add to this...Sean called yesterday afternoon asking if I can help with thier costumes. I told him about the machine and he said "they" have one.
I'm going to try the sewing again this afternoon and see what happens...maybe if I try different thread? I already cleaned, changed the needle and moved all the switch controlls around!!!!
Anyway when all is said and done I'll post party pictures. I'm also going to upload more pics of cards that have been delivered.
