2. E's apron from B/S
3. tightened elastic waist for O's skirt
4. fixed ripped in H's doll dress
5. put buttonholes/buttons on star vest

I also did some work on the wii fit. It's kinda fun. I did 20 minutes last night. I don't think it'll do anything for strength, but the rest is a blast. It keeps track of my weight and goals and everything I do each time I get on it. Even Charlie used it for a bit. fun!

Exercise again

Today I want back to the Y and worked out. I really want to not look like and feel like I do right now. I want to be able to move about freely, not worry about how my clothes fit, and live for a nice long time.

I exercised hard. I realized that I needed to push up the weights. More tomorrow.

Posting

I'd like to post regularly, but I can't seem to get it done. I hate to be boring. I'll never be a pro blogger, but I want to be interesting. Today I got more patterns organized. yippee. I'd love for them to just jump in the pattern boxes, poof! I also got buttons sorted and put away. And, H and I sewed doll eyes on her doll from Gram. H thinks Gram forgot the eyes, but The Evil One ripped them off during the party when Mom gave the doll to H. It felt good to do that. I should try more often to sew in honor of my mom.

This and that

Today I made some detergent. I like making it. One less thing to buy. Sorta. I do need to get washing soda and borax. The soap I use is the soap that I made with Beth. It's still cheaper.

I still have a ton of fabric to inventory. Last night I used 1.25 yards to make Leah a baby doll sling. At this rate, I can sew until I die without ever buying more fabric. I did also work on altering the prefold diaper into a fitted diaper for Christina. I like the idea of doing that. I might use some of my prefolds for it.

Busy, busy day

Here's the list for today:

1. shortened elastic in waist of corduroy skirt from thrift store for L. Twice.
2. fixed button on pants for Charlie.
3. tacked down facing on H's new dress.
4. attached purse handle to my bag.
5. attached clasp on skirt from thrift store.

I also got some diapers to mend from Christina.

Yesterday I got J's spider completed. UFO contest, yay! I also got E's blanket done. Stash contest, yay! 2 yards.

More when not so tired.

New year

I already have some sewing done. I made E's fleece blanket. It's 2 layers this time. One is the blue camo (blech), and one is a medium blue textured knit. I sewed a seam about 3" from the edge all the way around. Then I cut 1" strips for fringe all the way around. The 2 layers were supposed to be tied but E thought it looked better just loose. Picture will follow.

4 yards out of the stash, 2 yards qualify for the contest.
