Here's my plan

Well, I've come to the decision that I'm really bored and need to sew and re-open my shops. It's really slow sewing right now so there will only be a few items added but I'm going to try to get things going again. I'm planning to re-open both shops on Monday 3/28. There won't be many items that use the serger unless they are already done because I'm not very good with my left foot yet. ;) I can, however, add a few cloth diapers and maybe some cloth wipes. We'll just see what road this takes me down.
I'm also re-opening the fabric shop. I think I can get fabrics cut now since I can prop my foot on a rolling desk chair so if you "sew your own" then please stop by and see what fabrics I can add to your collection.
I also want to sincerely thank you all for being so patient with this mess. I've learned to only walk 1 dog at a time and pay closer attention to the coon hound. (Yes, she ended up "walking" me which is how this all happened.)
Thank you all so much!! Have a wonderful evening!

Hmmmm...this just might work...for now anyway.

OK, I tried using the computerized machine yesterday to work on some baby things for a friend. It seems to work ok for me. It's REALLY slow going though. Plus I can barely reach the ironing board so I need to figure out a better way to do that. Otherwise this seems to be a do-able solution for now. Nothing fancy will happen but at least I can work on a few things over the next couple of weeks.

I'm hoping to finish up the things for my friend today & I'll post a few pics if I do). I also got a new pattern for infant diapers that I think will be really nice for her. 2 sizes, simple construction, super easy to use...perfect for someone who has never even seen cloth diapers. I figure she's planning on using disposables but it never hurts to have a few cloth for those moments when no one remembered to grab a pack of dipes at the store. Maybe I'll even get her to convert to atleast part-time cloth. After all, cloth bums on new babies are super sweet. ;)

I've got finals 3 days this week but only for 2-3 hrs each so hopefully I can work on my samples for the Overnight Solutions & get them mailed off. I just need to practice using my left foot to run the machine. This should be interesting, lol!

Happy Sunday everyone! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
