Middle of August

It's not quite the end of the 3rd week, but approximately the middle of August (actually a little past that).
I've actually gotten all the fabric I had cut out for my pillow covers; but I decided I didn't have as much variation as I wanated.  I went online and found some fabric on sale, and found the other pieces I wanted.  So I won't the though cutting out until they get here.
I also cut. or designated, several pieces of fabric for tablecloths and runner.  I have gotten hems pinned in most of them, and got started pinning  together the covers. I plan to stitch up the cloths and runners, and get them washed and ironed and put in place (some will get packed with holiday stuff, others in the regular linen drawer).  Then I will continue pinning covers.  I think the new fabrics will get here before I finish all of that, so I will have to stop and get those cut out.
Once it's all cut and pinned, the actual sewing really won't take long.  I just hope I can get to it before my vision get too much worse.

The cleaning part of my Plan doesn't start until the first of September.  But, I ahve been doing well at keeping things uncluttered, and getting basic cleaning done.  So when it's time to do room by room detail cleaning, it won't be all that hard to do.

My tree looks funny now.  It was so beautiful - lovely large flowers that I can see well.  But all the white lights on the top half stopped working; and all the red lights on the bottom stopped working.  So I'm going to have to get up in the attic and dig out more lights, completely strip the tree to fix the lights, then put it back together.  Since it won't get changed more than to add fall touches, it's worth it to go ahead and do that.  That will probably be my project for next week, as I don't think I have time today.
