a-okNow Playing: Wii Play - "Tanks" again.
No time to sew today, either. It was my week to count folder inserts for Dearest Son's school. Several of us take turns, so no one gets stuck with it more often than once a month. Only took about an hour and a half, and that's with me not noticing a rather important detail, so I had to redo one of the three. Tomorrow, I have to be at school before 8am, because I'm also doing photo day duty. Next week, I have a ‘Homeroom Mom' meeting. The volunteer sign-up sheet asked us to pick three volunteer jobs, but I selected five. Son requires extra time and attention from his teachers and the school staff, the least I can do try to lighten their load a bit.
Got the last pattern scanned - all 49 pieces. Whew ! Now that all three are done, I printed images for the catalog, and posted a note in it that I needed NO MORE PATTERNS ! Main reason I got this lot was it was the cheapest I'd seen the Barbie/Jem one, and I wanted to try that one. The other two are nice, and I didn't already have ‘em, so I officially have Too Darn Many.
Picked up the steering wheel for the Wii, and it makes Cars more fun for Son. And a little easier for me, but I still fishtail all over the place if I'm going above 40 mph. Visited the thrift store next to the game shop, and snagged a few things. Got some white lace with split silver ovals - it was labeled ‘60" wide 2 yards, 50c'. Good thing I wasn't depending on that. It may be 60" wide, but chunks and hunks and strips are cut from it, so I have no idea where they got that measurement. Plenty for doll clothes, and the price was certainly right.
They have a ‘35c or 3/$1.' markdown clothes rack. Of course, I always go through it. Found a nice orange long-sleeve shirt for Son, and a gorgeous tiny print floral shirt - Ann Taylor- and a satin blouse in navy blue with bright ‘confetti' print. Both the non- Son shirts are much too tiny for me to wear, but they'll make fantastic doll clothes. I gotta stop doing that, too. I already have too much to sew with, so more because it's cheap is getting silly. I put the three I wanted together, back on the rack, and didn't pick them up until I was ready to go. Just in case someone could wear them as clothes before I cut ‘em up for sewing. No one touched ‘em. Well, I gave the other patrons a chance !
Universe, grant me the power to keep my own vows and promises I make about my craft supplies !
I have no idea how long photo day duty will last, but I'm hoping they won't need me all day. I really really wanna make something from that blue confetti shirt...
