For the Keeper at Home

Feeling Better, Going Nowhere and Sewing

Good morning!

I am sure that y'all are sick of me writing this, but it's a BEAUTIFUL (and crisp) morning here in NC!  Well, it IS!  Ok, so it was so cold that husband had to defrost his windows AND I can see my breath...but isn't that what winter is all about?

An Update on me.  I had my final appointment on Friday.  PA Chelle says that all is looking good with the MRSA and to just keep on eye on things.  She showed me how to change the packing.  Ewwwww.  Thankfully, I don't have to do THAT anymore...now I just have this big hole in my leg.  :-)

This weeking, we went to Market.  I am soooo excited!  Husband and I have made friends with this REALLY NEAT older couple at Market.  She bakes and he is a beekeeper!  They invited us to Thanksgiving dinner at their house.  How fun!  My family is going to be out-of-town AND I have my dad and step-mom coming to visit later in the weekend...so this works out GREAT!

I did manage to get some sewing done this weekend.  But I wished someone would have reminded me of the #1 rule of sewing!  No, it's NOT "measure twice, cut once", it's "DON"T SEW WHEN YOU ARE TIRED"!!!  Yes, I was sewing the crotch of a pair of pajama pants for husband, and for some reason, AFTER I had some the reinforcement seam, could not figure out HOW the pants were going to work!  It seemed like I had done them backwards!  Sew, of course, I pulled out the two seams.  Only to wake up the next morning and figure out what was what!  Yes, I had to resew teh pants JUST as I had done before!  grrrrrrrrr

Oh, and THEN, I ran out of elastic!!!!  Pout pout

Today is LAUNDRY DAY!  I want to get ALL the laundry done.  No exceptions!  I am almost out of my Seventh Gen soap...so now i go to the Trader's Joes gallon, which will last a month or two...for only $8!

On one last fun note....don't you just LOVE getting PACKAGES in the mail????  I do!  "Mail" can contain bills or junk...but a PACKAGE is almost ALWAYS something fun!!!  Last week, I received several pieces of fabric in teh mail.  But Saturday has long been expected!!!  Ready??  This wonderful package of FOUR "Keepers at Home - Stepping Stones Handbook"s AND 2 "Parent's Guides" arrived!!!  I can't wait to get them on the site!  Though, I must admit that I am REALLY tempted to keep one for myself!  :-)

Happy Monday!
