What's for dinner

Ok, so sometimes I can get a little sidetracked (duh!) So I started Lisa's Cookbook to keep me on top of the age old question, what's for dinner??? Tonight I am making Oven French Toast - Caramel.

Organization Update

I spent some time folding fabrics & putting them in totes. All of my UFOs are in plastic baskets or small shoe boxes. I still have 2 totes to empty then put my fabric in (right now they have old clothes for recycling).

I did get sidetracked by making the headbands, but it is so hard to be surrounded by my stuff & not play a little!!! Thankfully the headbands didn't take long at all, before I had finished projects!

My cutting table is cleared off (only the mat & a pressing pad are on there now). The sewing machine table is getting clearer, I still have some magazines to put away & the thread box needs to find a more permanent home, but the random shoe boxes have found better homes... The ironing board is buried under the fabric yet to be put away, and the longer counter is only half done.

SO it is still a work in progress, I'll snap pics once I am not absolutely petrified to go in there!!!

Headband pic

I made this one (and a matching one for the Princess last night). They were a snap to make. The only problem I had was turning the tie part of the smaller size, it was a little narrow!

I will make more of these they are comfortable & stay put well. I will try the next one with a layer of canvas (if I had heavy interfacing I'd use that) to try & make it stiffer.

Hooray for Headbands

Heather Bailey at HELLO my name is Heather has developed a gorgeous headband pattern, that she has for free (I love free!!!). It is on the widget side under free patterns.

I can't wait to try it out! Sarah over atHearts and Needles has some pics of her posted as well!

I hope I have some fun & funky fabric!!!

Slippers to sew...

Visitng FREE projects at joann.com! I managed to find a link to their adult slipper patterns.

Yippee I think I have found my January Christmas gift sewing project.

Happy New Year - My 2007 Goals

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope everyone had a fun safe New Years Eve!

So I've had a couple of weeks to work on this list, still think it's a work in progress, but here is what I've got so far.

1. Teach my children respect for money.How to save, budget, spend wisely, plan for the future, what really is rich, etc…. You know all that stuff I haven't figured out!!!

2. Save money, we need to have an emergency fund in place.

3. ORGANIZE!!! I have decluttered lots of stuff, now it's time to get what I have into a home!

4. Continue to exercise & do healthy things. Drink lots of water, keep walking, eat as many healthy meals a week as possible.

5. Work creative time & organized computer time into my daily routine.

6. Get the Princess Potty Trained & sleeping in her own bed

7. Create Emergency Kits for the family & update the first aid kit.

8. Continue with my daily routine & habit building (www.flylady.net) I will be fully flying this year!
