Productivity

socks, shorts, top & pants ... all fixed!

It feels good when several small things can be crossed off a list that’s been neglected for far too long. That was today. While I did not get quite as much done as I’d hoped, I did accomplish a few things that have either needed to be done or just should be done, for some time.

I have this weird thing about a sewing (machine) phobia. I can’t quite explain it, but its there. Stupid, silly, unnecessary … yeah, I know. I’ve talked to several people about it. Apparently I’m not completely alone in this one. While I have all these fun ideas in my head to try out for a new avenue for Nicole’s Visions, I have a fear of things not coming out perfect or just making mistakes. Kinda sucks. Today I took a step in the right direction. I took the small pile on the sewing table that I could hand mend, & did it. Now I have 3 things left that need machine mending. I figure its just our clothes & if I goof or mess up, its not as big a deal. Then the desk will be clear & I can cut into some practice fabric & get some sewing done. Hopefully, then there will be no stopping me!

Another thing I managed this morning was finally playing with my new label maker. I bought it months ago when it was 50% off on sale. So, I finally got some labels put on containers. I love it. The business containers will also get some detail labels below the names. That of course, means I need to actually make sure the contents are more organized within them! LOL It wont be too bad as they are already semi organized. Whew!

   I also went thru some of hubby’s wood working magazines that he decided he only wanted an article out of them, not the whole mag. So, I took care of that small stack today too. All nice & organized in a 3 ring binder!

these need details labels still, but its a start!

Then … I kinda stopped. I did manage to get a load of clothes hung out on the new metal rod clotheslines hubby got put up last weekend for me. I love being able to put the laundry back outside to dry again.You can see them in the picture, if you look close. Neat thing is I can remove them & lay them down in the grass along the edge when not in use. that way we dont hang ourselves & the birds dont rest there & poop everywhere!

rods hung between posts.

So now here I am telling the world about what I managed to get done today… tomorrow morning I plan to get the sewing machine mending done … a few errands & maybe even get one of the new project items cut out!
