I've been trying to get all my outside work done, but I don't think I'll get it'll all get done.. I still have to clean the gutters, rake the leaves, trim the flowers etc. You would think I would plan ahead and get so much done each week, but when the weather is nice who wants to work?
Today I got another sewing machine sanded, doing it outside is much better than doing it inside and have to dust everything. The water stains were so deep I couldn't get them all out. The last owner must have loved coffee and let lots of cups of coffee sit too long on the lid. The stains are so deep I can't sand them out. I'm going to paint the lid top and inside a dark brown/black. It should look really nice although I've never seen it done before.
I have really been lax on fixing, cleaning and selling sewing machines. The summers take me outside most of the time. I never even sat at the sewing machine this summer. I finally went through my stash to pick out baby fabric and ordered some extra to sew some quilts for my grandaughter who will be welcomed sometime in November. I will have four grandchildren, 3 of which are boys. It has been fun buying those tiny pink outfits.
I'll really be busy this winter. I have two quilts to quilt and eight to piece and quilt; one queen, four twin and three baby quilts. Three of the patterns will be a challenge, the others will be done faster. I love to shop and pick out fabric, but am much slower at piecing and quilting .
I just bought a Subaru Forester and love to drive it. I'd much rather be in the SUV with the moonroof open, radio on and find places to take fall pics. Willow still gets car sick and is not a brave dog when outside of the house. I was hoping she would adjust and not be so timid, but that is who she is - she is so sweet and loves everyone.
Until next time be safe and love life!
