Well we have a new President, time will tell where this administration will take us. I only pray that he can with the help of Congress turn our economy around. To many people without jobs, or not making enough to make ends meet.
Now to the fun things in life - family and hobbies.
I've decided to try and have a reunion of my Mother's side of the family in October. Last night I sat and went through my data base back to my Great Grandparents on her side and came up with 120+ descendants that I know of, and I'm sure there are others I've missed in my research.
No I don't think I have room for that many people at my house, but if they all decide to come I'll find a place that does. A couple of years ago we had a first one and had a nice turnout and I got to meet family I'd never known. It was great, hoping to meet more that I've not met before and see those I met before.
Just took a look at my "new" sewing room - a bedroom I will turn into a sewing room. My first room totally devoted to my sewing hobby. There is quite a bit to do there, think I have decided on furniture placement but that always seems to never work as first planned. Also, need to purchase a table for cutting and once that is in the room may determine other furniture arrangement. Right now need to get all the fabric in there, then sort by colors, and by yardage. Putting all fat quarters together, yardage together and bits and pieces (including 4" - 6" squares) in another. Then all it BOM and kits. I have them in individual plastic containers now and will most likely keep them there - only with a better labeling system.
I need to put a support brace under middle of closet pole in my bedroom so I can finish sorting out my clothes and hang what I'm keeping and get rid of the rest. Then I can move my little rocker (sewing chair) in here, my daylight lamp and the plastic box (large) to house the zip-lock baggies of projects (UFO's and others). Will house all the hand projects here so that I have a place to sit and stitch and can watch TV, keeping the clutter out of other rooms. The lid of the plastic bin will work well as a table to arrange tools, threads etc on while working on a project. It has a bit of a lip which will help keep things from rolling to floor.
The unpacking of boxes is moving along. Yes, I'd like to snap my fingers and have it all done - ain't happening. So I do it as I can. I did take a couple of days to totally rest and now it is time to hit the grindstone and get more unpacked.
Off to find the bottom of some boxes.
