Sewing again

Well, it's been a week since I last posted. My hubby returned from traveling. My oldest DS has bronchitis (found that out on Friday, but I'd known since Thursday night). He's on meds.

We spent ALL DAY Saturday working on the two main areas of the house. There is significant, visible progress. Yesterday I continued the trend and worked on the entryway to the house. My sewing projects are in my formal dining room and have spilled over to the table in the entryway. I probably spend 2 hours sorting through patterns, material, very old mail that was on the table under the material, etc., etc.

I did this so things would look nice when my stamping ladies came over for club last night. But the best reaction of all was when my oldest DS ran through the entryway and yelled out "OH, MY GOSH!" I guess it was really time for a clean up.

As a benefit, I found the material I'd purchased for a beautiful fall skirt. I cut it out and serged it today. The front and back seams are done. Now I must decide if I want to put pockets in the skirt. The pattern didn't call for them, but I enjoy pockets in my clothes, so I'll probably add them. I need to alter the pattern to include the pockets so I don't dread adding them each time I make a skirt by this pattern.

My youngest DS is doing well in school. We are challenged weekly by the spelling words, but the poor guy got my spelling gene and not his dad's, like big brother did.

Tomorrow's a busy day so must head for bed.
