Today was a fairly productive end to the first part of the countdown schedule. Since I got the decluttering and cleaning finished yesterday, today I concentrated on getting sewing and some other projects done.
I had one fairly simple project I started probably 3 years ago. It was a neat idea, but I waited too late to get it done ... put it aside ... and forgot all about it. When I cleaned out drawers when moving dressers earlier this summer, I found it again. I finished as much as I can for now. I have to find some pretty candy jars at flea markets or Big Lots or something. The hard part is done, so I have time to get them put together.
I have another project that is a bit more complicated, but I have all the printing parts of it done. I have some shopping to do ... again, that will have to wait. Hopefully I can get what I need by October so I can finish that project.
I finally finished cutting out the sewing project that has had me stumped for so long. I got one block sewn together ... just 11 to go. And then, of course, quilting and joining, etc. I also got a winter quilt partially pinned (for ME!), the hem pinned in a robe to hem for my Mom. And, I finally located a project that I "lost" when I moved rooms that needs to be finished soon.
I started a list of the items I have, to figure who will get what for Christmas. It will be a skimpy year, but at least I have been able to get some great bargains up to now. I wish I had done a better list earlier ... sure would have gotten more of the bargains! LOL! Oh well, I'll do what I can now. Perhaps I'll get more chances.
Next weekend I'll be out of town. The following weekend is the front bathroom. After that, I have to start on the part of the house that is hot. But, it has to get done.
