Hatfield House (in the city)

January 7, 2009

Well I suppose I had better update this a bit cause before too long everyone is going to think I've dropped off the face of the earth!

No, I haven't, but we have been busy around here. With the children being on vacation, and now back in school, and me working... it's just been a hub-bub of a time.

I've re-joined Weight Watchers again. Weighed myself at work on December 30, and weighed more than I EVER have. And with diabetes and getting older, I surely don't need that! So as of today, I have lost almost 13 pounds, and am quite happy about it. Alot of it was water weight, but that's ok, at least it's coming off, right?And dh is helping this time, so for that I am grateful. He buys me the "ready made" meals so I can grab and go for work, and I appreciate him so.

My sewing seems to have been put on the back burner for a few. I did buy some new fabric and some new patterns for the grandchildren that I want to get busy on. Maybe get a few cut out today....

As I said in a previous post... lots of folks are requesting me to make things for them, and the children need things made, so I just have to get off my caboose and get it done, right? I had one woman at work ask me about slipcovers for her couch, and she said, "I pay good...". Ididn't offer to make them, nor give any indication that I wanted to, when she was talking to another lady about it, and said, "I asked Julie, but she blew me off..." and then another said, "I ought to have you make me a Colt's purse..." Now, shouldn't that be that she should ASK me to make her a Colt's purse? Maybe then I would be inclined to.... but right now, I simply don't have the time.

The chilcren are still excited about their schooling, which I am glad. It's a good school, and they are interested in teaching the children the right way. They brought home Bible verses to memorize yesterday, so that's a big plus in my book! And the amount of homework is tremendous... . but I can appreciate that. So was mine when I was in school! LOL!

Anyhoo~ I need to scoot and get busy if I am ever going to get sewing cut out for anything, right?

Thank you for reading...

The best

I wish you the best in your sewing indevers. I hope you have fun helping with home work and memory verses. What a treat to know the kids are hiding God's word in their hearts. *smile* That is wonderful.

Hey Julie ~ Just checking in with you. Looks like you've been super busy! We survived the holidays with two bouts of strep and one of pneumonia. Thankfully we are all on the mend now. Glad to see that everyone seems happy and healthy out your way.
Hugs,
Denita~~

It sounds as if your as busy as I am there is always something I need or want to get sewed up or else someone is always asking me to "help" them finish a project. I love to sew when I have the time, good luck getting your projects finished!
