It's been a good week so far
#1
This has been a wonderful week so far. The rain finally stopped, the sun is shining and yet because of a cool Canadian front the temperatures have dropped drastically so it's tolerable now.
Tuesday dd and I went shopping---at Goodwill. Besides the two pair of shoes, 1 dress and 5 skirt/blouse outfits that she got, I got a wooden tv tray--the slightly rounded yet almost square ones---to make a portable ironing board for quilt class out of, and several yards of fabric. 72 cents a yard. I got enough pink felt to put 5 protective layers on my "ironing board" table. Then I made a muslin fitted sheet topper for it and secured it with sheet stays. (I guess that's what you call them, it's two of the old fashioned garter hooks with an elastic strip between them)
Today I'm going to sew. I might pre-wash some fabric too. Yes, all in all, a very good week.

It cooled off here in Iowa also. We are packing the trailer and van for another load to Nebraska. Tried to cut down a dead tree and the chainsaw broke!! Got it fixed so as soon as hubby gets his nap we will go back out and finish cutting that tree up. At least the weather is cooperating, dry and cool. We'll get a new sump pump put in next week and hopefully the next 2 inch downpour will not end up in my basement!! I keep up with you all in my spare minutes. Can't wait for this move to be over and I can sew again.
Happy sewing and happy moving to those who are making moves this summer. :D :D
