DAY FIVE OF A CLEAR WEEK

SOMETIMES A LITTLE NUDGE IS A GOOD THING LOL!

there’s still time to get in on the Fri night sew in over at Hand Made By Heidi’s

http://www.handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/

for my project I think I will do the tote bag seeing’s I couldn’t make up my mind on the fabric because there's’ a sweet yellow with bees on that keeps calling me soooo today’s the day to choose something lol! this will be a good nudge to get a lot done as this weekend is full, working on the closet, zoo with the grand kids, it’s been a great week of creating things for the sewing room & getting the house in order for more play time this summer lol! as I said a few weeks back with seven grand kids 1yr –14yr I don’t want anything to hold me back from zoo trips, , cookie baking, tea parties, girls day out,picnic’s, cookouts & the list goes on & on !we have “just because we want to ! parties”lol!

time to get back to work!

DAY FOUR OF A CLEAR WEEK

More supplies

It didn’t seem like I got much accomplished today but actually I did, my youngest daughter called & I had to go watch the twins while she   had to pick my oldest grand daughter up from school & take her to the doctor, so if you can’t sew what can you do with two four year olds? have them  put on their bathing suits & help wash the Van then hose them down! LOL!

so lest see what’s on the list so far

*mammy & her goose

*lazy Susan project

* a pillow’s & totes

so my daytime work has turned into nighttime work lol!I gave the cans a second coat of paint when I got home, I did find some cute vintage like sheet music printed scrap book paper, wooden handled paint brushes, burlap ribbon, now to find the rest of the finishing touches I need for the lazy Susan organizer project

DAY THREE OF A CLEAR WEEK

WHEN IT CALLS YOU

every time I look at this bag on my pintererest board there’s something about it that makes me wantta make one lol

I’ve scouted out a few places for that just right fabric & it’s back to Hancock's first thing in the morning, I did however find some sweet fabric to make this fun pillow

so far I can’t find a dolie for my lazy Susan project, any other time they'd be everywhere, lol!  hopefully Michaels will have one tomorrow

DAY TWO OF A CLEAR WEEK

playing around with  a Lazy Susan makeover, I have this antique lazy susan & one of the trays broke, stuck it back in the cabinet thinking someday I’ll glue it together & just keep it to the back so’s you can’t see it ~lol~ well with all this cleaning, culling out & throwing out, the brokenness just messed with me  soooo I go back to my pinterest eye candy boards ~lol~ & drool over this again

I have enough cans saved up,  I have wooden spools & a dollie but I think I need a smaller one now to get the paint, & special touches I think I just might be able to make this work, what do you think?

are you keeping up with what to look for at the end of the week?

*mammy & her goose

*lazy susan makeover

DAY ONE OF A CLEAR WEEK

whatever do you do with yourself when there’s a blank space on the calendar, not only one but seven, I kid you not every month  20 something squares outta 30 has something to do in them ~lol~no special events at the church this week, no birthday parties, nothing or nobody to decorate for or sew for, nowhere to go or to be, hubby’s on midnights so he’s sleeping which makes for a quite   house

well I tell ya, looks like the sewing room might get finished this week lol, I found my pattern the other day, been trying to make her for a year ~lol~

I think I have enough cans now to create this for my sewing room  

I plan on finishing my quilt this week & planning  a visit with my sweet little Aunt & show her I finished it! ~lol~

so much to get into this week, so I’m off to get started, see you tomorrow for day two!
