Last Week of August

I am way behind on my schedule, but I'm going to try to get as caught up as I can this week.  The new fabrics I ordered came, and I've made a good start on cutting out the pieces I need.The biggest hold up I have now is my sewing machine.  I need to wind a bunch more bobbins; but I'm having trouble with that.  I can't see well enough to get the thread started through the little hole in the bobbin.  Last week I finally got one done - and then couldn't get it to wind properly.  I finally discovered it was because in my anxiety to get that part right, I had completely forgotten to place the thread through the proper hooks and things.  
Since then I've gotten a new, much larger, spool of thread.  If I can manage to get all the bobbins I have filled, and then get the machine threaded, I *should* be good for a long time!

My "Plan" starts next week.  The first room on my plan is the bedroom.  I will try very hard to give it a good dusting, and eliminate as much extra clutter as I can.  I've done a great deal of that over the last few weeks.  Since that's DH's room, there's a lot I can't do anything about but get as neat as I can.  I'd love to get rid of some of the junk; but truthfully, it just wouldn't look right under the circumstances.  And his son would be extremely unhappy with me - he won't even take stuff with him that DH tries to give him.

Anyway, I'll do what I can; but hopefully I'll be on track with my sewing project as well.
