I'll be staying in again today. It's just too cold and windy to go anywhere, plus, I really have no reason to get out anyway. There is some mid-month paperwork needing done, then I want to get some photos from my camera card sent in to Walmart over the internet. I love being able to do that, then pick them up when I'm in town. Very handy!
I found out yesterday that we get to have Caylin this weekend, and that just made my day! One thing we'll do together is decorate a sturdy bread crumb can that I've saved for her. We'll have fun with that!
Have a Happy Hump Day!
Hello ladies,
Jane-- Nope, no snow. We were all praying for a little bit too. My daughter was bummed! Oh well, there's still a chance for March. Suppose to be nice for then next 3 weeks.
Haven't decided if I'm going to add words to the sign for not. Have to play with it a little.
I finished one of the quilters sewing pins and sent a picture to the lady who wants them. Just got notified that she loved it and do all of them the same way. So I'll be painting 10 more tomorrow just like the one I painted today.
Earlier a lady in Canada wrote and let me know she saw what I listed where I sell, and would be very happy with two of those, so I have that to keep me busy besides the daffodil sign.
Focus....pins first, then sign, than light switch plate covers. You girls who quilt or craft, have never seen a room so messy, I'm sure of it!! It's awful!
Well maybe you have.
I told my dh, I don't really work on all of them at the same time, but when the paint is drying on one, I go to the other projects and do what I can, then go back. No time to waste. But sometimes I do like "closure".
How old is Caylin, Jane? What are you and Caylin going to make out of the bread crumb can? Pencil holder? I used to make the best baby doll beds from the large oatmeal containers. I'd tape on the lid and cut a hole on one side that would fit the baby doll. I'd cover it with either material or paper. Made the best little rocking beds for my baby dolls. Was fun to make with the grand daughters too. We kids had so much fun thinking up ways to have fun back in the "old days".
We send out photos to Target and they so such a great job. Just pick them up when we go past. Can't get any easier.
I love working puzzles, but they take so much time, I only do that on the special holidays now. We all have fun putting one together before the dinner is done. I always said, no finished puzzle, no dinner and the girls believed me, so they worked real hard to get it finished.
Having lunch with my daughter tomorrow. I'm picking up something and taking it to the high school where she interprets. We're eating in my son in laws office. He's usually out on campus. I miss our lunches together, so thought since I do this with a friend once a week, I'll do this once in a while with my daughter too. I miss our times together. But she had to get something more permanent than subbing. Had to start thinking of the 3 girls colleges coming up in the next 2-4 years.
She loves to scrap her photo albums, but since she started work, there hasn't been any time for that. She also plays the piano at night for the local plays. Most of the time I talk to her when she's in the car going from one place to the other. But she loves her job and loves the piano, so scrapping is put on the back burner for a while.
Had another maintain today. Somethings going to give one of these days!
