What a week it as been...

I also bought a serger the weekend of the money spending. I was planning to go back to the store last weekend so they could show me how to thread it... Well,.,,, horrible weather had me in the storm pit all Saturday. So my chance to go to "sewing school" was over for a week.

Sunday I decided to read the instructions and figure it out.... Monday I redid it before dancing with the stars.
Tuesday I redid it, still getting these BIG loopy loops instead of nice serged edges.... UUUUgGGGHHHH! Major Frustration!!!!! Wednesday I totally redid it again and decided that I was going to try and go by the the sewing store and look at the way that serger is threaded before I got my hair done.... Got home tried one last thing and woopeee! It is fixed.!!!!! I am pumped.

Did I forget to say that I also bought a quilting machine while I was there? Oh yeah! But, I do not have it yet,,,, I got off work late, so I have to wait until tomorrow. Also, I need to make it to Dekalb to the fabric store so I can get the Plain Jane that she ordered.... But tomorrow is another day. Maybe the storms will just be quickies and let me get some stuff done...

We have been working trying to get everyone registered at school and finishing up on final exams... One more week and graduation... I will be so proud!

Shot has had 2 new calves this week. He just loves those babies so good.

Nothing new to show,,, just hanging in there....winter clothes on the floor ready to be packed up,,,, not done... Fertilizer and 2 tomatoes in garden,,,, not finished... The yard guy "weekeated" the flower beds around the azalea's,,, but I really need to pull the weeds... I did finish my online course,, I left work at the end of the day... with ACTs not graded and not mailed.... When will I finish something,,, anything???

I could do it now, but Wife Swap is on and I need a nap...
Laters!

What a weekend

I have been on a spending spree this weekend. But, justifiably, I have no excuses other than "SALES"!!!!!! I ran over to Dekalb to that WONDERFUL place during lunch on Friday and bought this

I just loved the sewing theme on these fabrics! I think it was Southseas fabric. The yellow and rust were laying close to the cutting counter and I just scooped them up,,, you never know..

Then I went to JoAnn's on Saturday. Listen, it is not MY fault! They keep having these sales!!!!! I found some awesome ribbon that looks like a measuring tape. But, I also just had to have some of this cute seersucker for a cute "little" outfit.

The plaid and blue on the left were purchases at the 22nd Ave. store. They were having a sale and it looked like "boy shorts" to me.

While I was there I bought me a Juki serger. Ya never know when one might retire and have to make money by selling ones wares... anyway,

I finished up the Chapter on Access for my final exam, washed some fabric (which I did not picture) that I will use to make me some outfits. JoAnn's had Bottomweight on sale,,, and since I can no longer afford to buy any clothes, I need to sew some... :)

Did you see Cait in her outfits? Too cute... I want to try and thread that serger today.. I told them I needed one that was "idiot proof" and she convinced me this was the one... I shall see. I may be down there next Saturday morning crying and carrying on for lessons....

What week

Not really much to talk about unless one likes "Drama". Man oh man oh man..... But enough about work.,,,, Shot says Jack's cow had a calf this week. He apparently looks just like his daddy. He has been worried and looking for the calf all week. Suddenly, the calf and its momma came up to eat on Thursday. Shot loves to watch the new babies. He had a bad run there for a minute in the fall. Had a cow that had twins, one still born, the other born weak. He fed it with a bottle and tried to help it gain strength, but it lost its battle. Had another that got bogged up in mud and died trying to get out.... Enough about all that... He is PUMPED about the new baby. I guess that is just the way of the wild...

He has one cow that he has been petting since it was little, now it nudges him and roots for him to scratch behind his ears. I told him, he was probably going to knock him a winding one of these days and just moo, "my bad"...

I got the 3 outfits I have been working on for Cait in the mail this week. I can't wait for her to try them on and make sure they fit... I went to my favorite fabric store today during lunch, I really thought I needed some retail therapy... I got some wonderful fabric. We need a picture here don't we?

I take my final exam in my computer class on Monday so I can sue that extra time on working on my projects.

Things I have made this past week...

4am and all is well

Well this has been an interesting night... I have been awake every hour. Something about being told off at work because I "work too much". Well that is not really how it happened, but basically that is the jist of it... Some people!

I guess I do get a little over jealous sometimes, but I have never really learned how to be "average",,, I can either play full out or fail... There are no "Cs' for me. I have never fully understood how people do it.

I have been trying to fix my blog page and having a terrible time with it.. I guess I will sit down with my Dummies book after my final exam on Monday.

Let me know you some of the things I have been working on for Cait.
