10. made 10 half-pints strawberry jam (from gorgeous strawberries at Costco)
11. finish reorganizing closet (because they finally got those flat hangers back in stock)
And I have one more thing that I'd really wish I didn't have to do this week - Attend a funeral of a dear friend who passed on Monday. :cry:

Lets see! Besides the usual, cooking, gardening and cleaning-
1. Quilt and bind daughter's baby quilt.
2. Finish birthday dress for grandaughter.
3. Get the last wall and roof up for my new lawn shed so I can finally clean out my basement.(Leave more room for storing fabric)

Wed.- redo list from Monday- haha.
Today I am "off"- but not really, waiting for repairman to say he is on his way. My car was dropped off for inspection at 7 a.m. There are several cars here but they don't go out in the rain, so I'm doing laundry (darn, have to use the dryer) and cleaning rooms we don't use. The formal living room seems to be the dropping point for things no one knows where to put, so I cleaned that first. Broke down cardboard for recycling tomorrow.
Now packing a box with fabric and things for DD. Will mail to LV later.
Copied a pattern so I can cut shapes for 2 blocks for our family reunion quilt. Would like to have them done later today. Looked at my purchases again from last week- swearing off spending money again- this time for 2 months instead of one. I really do have too much fabric.
Kind of hard to really start something. I will go back to work as soon as my car is done. But, I am enjoying my time- I love to organize and the house needs it. Best of all- no one here to say- save that, I might need it someday!
Have a productive day everyone!

Well I intend to keep it simple, so, I'll start with a list of the lists I have to make of all the things I know will not get done this week, and by the time I finish there won't be time to do any of the things I should do. I think I have a good system going here.

I didn't make a list, but since DH is gone til late Sat. night, I sorted and washed some fabric, fixed a tear in a bag I bought on garage sale, made chair cover for husband's chair, going to DD's now for supper so MAYBE can finally start cutting my blocks for the 9 patch challenge-gee, tomorrow I'm only 30 blocks behind!!! That is along with helping take care of neighbor lady which is daily, helping with my mom which is also daily, and loving the poor neglected "babies" that are missing "daddy"! For me, this is alot done, hard to sew when DH is around--too noisy!!!

Got ironing in tonight - MADE MYSELF DO IT! :evil: :twisted:
Actually I really didn't want to come back to you ladies and say I didn't get any ironing done. :oops: :oops: :oops: :P
Now that would have been difficult.
Last night and this morning (to keep the dog quiet - long story) I sewed some crumb blocks together with a "oh well I'm sure they'll be beautiful" and a "hurry up and see how many you can put together before the dog wakes up again" speed. Amazed myself even! LOL
Night!

1) Finish July's doll quilt, which I'm having a bll with
2) fINISH jULY'S BEE BLOCK
3) work on my patriotic wall hangings(4)
4) figure out what I want to quilt on the neighbor's quilt. Gotta get it done, but cant decide what to quilt on it.
5) finish my snowman/snowflakes for the swap.
That's all I want to get done this week.
