Boy did I get a good laugh out of this! OMG, even hubby had to listen and we both laughed... I go from bed...into sewing room, he brings me a cup of coffee, I am still in my jammies, a hair brush??? LOL... I will sew all day with only potty breaks or now I have my running so I stop to run and then go back into sewing room, fresh from shower... again hair brush...I don't think so! (OK maybe I am not that bad right now!):D

My MIL was married in 1949, we got her a book from the Vermont General store on how to run a home to the new brides, from 1949. (I think they had a lot of these books with lots of different years). I gave it to her last Christmas, she said yep they used to get up get dressed with make up and hair done, to clean house. Every day they concentrated on specific chores. I know Monday was wash day... too fun.

I wonder who wrote that manual!

I am still patiently waiting for my SP package. I am thinking now I might get a hair brush! LOL only kidding... and The Vermont General store is really one of the most awesome places to shop. I have a niece who lives in Vermont and when we go visit I always plan a trip there. But they are also online and have truly awesome things. I am sending a special ordered item to my SP today. I was to excited and in a hurry to send it with her box so it is going today, but it is very tiny and going in an envelope.

OK back to the sewing machine~ have a wonderful day... Sharon Anne where did you find that article, I am printing it and going to share it with my MIL. My Mom got married in 1950, I will have to get her one of those "Brides Books" By the time I was born in 1956, she already had 6 kids and I wonder how well that showering, doing hair putting on make up worked!

Well, I start Oct 1 to train with Meadow... I am really excited to be doing that. So I may have to bow out next momth with the swap because I will be in training with him for the first two weeks of October and i do not know how much free time that i will have with him.

This was my goodies sent by jclinanrey yesterday. See the two purple fat quarters??? Aren't they just lovely???!!! I am soooo ready to open the box of Dots. Yumm!!!

Congratulations on the new grandson Darlene. I always loved the bumper sticker that read " If I had known how much fun grandchildren were, I would have had them first."

Louise we all have those kind of days thanks for sharing one of yours with us, hopefully others will share theirs... Would be something fun while we wait for the rest of the packages to arrive...
