9 Random Bits from Today

By Vicki 8 Comments

yo

1.  “It’s magical, it will make you dead.” – 5-year-old to her brother.

2.  If you saw the many totes in my laundry room and wondered what was in it, fabric would be correct most of the time.

3.  I bought almost 50 yards of fabric this past weekend and spent less than $100. I love Joanns’ after-Thanksgiving sales.

4.  This past weekend was one of the most refreshing weekends I’ve had in a long time.

5.  Running hot water is highly underrated.

6.  My 5-year-old daughter has approximately 40 million pairs of pajamas while my 9-year-old daughter has 3.

7.  “Ah, you’re dead.” – my son to his little sister. “I’m SPECIAL,” was her response.

8.  Bills are infinitely less stressful if you have the money to pay them.

9.  I like blogging much more when I’m not trying to accomplish something like a regular posting schedule.

I’m having a productive, rainy Monday. How is your day going?

      I am working with some fabric I bought at least 4 years ago. Every time I would go to do something with it, I couldn’t decide what. Now I’ve got two dresses in the works for the girls and a pair of matching pants for my boy. And I’m pretty excited about it. 🙂

        I finally tore out some silk I’ve been just sitting on for like 3 months (which is nothing compared to your 4 years). I’m finally going to make this top. Naturally, you’ll see pix of it on FB. LOL!

          I look forward to it! I have yet to work with silky fabrics (or stretchy ones) after a couple bad experiences when I first started sewing. I want a serger so badly, to make leggings and such. I probably just need to figure out how to make my machine do it, lol.

    Sorry…. Probably over it now but I said I’d try again from home. Even if it’s 4 days later. LOL! I got my serger on Criagslist for $80 and I love it. If you’re in the market for one I’d certainly check there before paying 2,3 or even 4 hundered on one. I’ll never look at sewing the same though. Now that I have one I can’t imagine my stitching world without it. So much so that we named her “Sarah the Serger.” I know, nerd.

      Lol, no worries. I never think to look on Craigslist, I will keep my eye out for a serger now though. I’ve wanted one for a long, long time, I think 2012 will be the year I finally get one, lol. 🙂
