| 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!

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!

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!
