| Ta DA--No weeds and new mulch. |
Counting tomorrow, I will have been completely off for a week; that means not babysitting, but still doing the household chores of clothes, dishes and cooking etc--. You understand.
Also, I've met with the deputy tax assessor, met with a concerned citizen about a school board issue, gone to the grocery store twice, walked over and played with the grandkids just about everyday, cleaned out a messy flowerbed and added mulch, worked on Ancestry.com, and played with the goats.

Actually, all of these things I did to avoid making a cowboy burp cloth that I got an order for last Tuesday on my Etsy site from a lady in Tennessee. Also, with all this time off, I need to mend a pair of my husband's scrubs that have been on the machine for 3 months and Jackie's Boston Red Sox purse I made. I have a lot of hobbies and I do them in a rather cyclical manner. I sew and sew until I get rather burned out and then 6 months are more will pass before I sit in front of the machine.
But I have to put the burp cloth in the mail Tuesday. So far, I have repaired my husband's scrubs. I am working on the embroidery design, when I'm not checking my e-mail, facebook, or googling for a blue-eye Nigerian Dwarf goat buckling for my 2 little does. So actually, I'm doing everything but completing my recent sewing order. Maybe the word
order is slowing me down. My mother actually took in sewing when I was growing up. I remember my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Guice, coming to our house for Mother to alter her clothes. I didn't like her because she called me Grandma and I was only 10. But I know, I bossed everyone around.
Mother warned me that if I started taking orders for my purses, baby items and etc, that it would not be fun anymore.
I really think my problem is that I only like to do something twice. The first time, I am so excited to see if I can do it and the the second time to clean-up the mistakes. After that I am bored. I've also made about a dozen New Orleans Saints leather purses, one Cowboys purse, and a couple LSU . I did change from gold with black to black gator print with gold fleur-de-lis on the Saints purses.

I haven't been blogging, because I should be sewing. But now that I have started the project, I can blog during break time.
Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July.
