Cheers Outfit

Another one of those lightening fast days. This morning when I was getting ready to do morning chores I heard the loudest noise -it sounded like a thrashing machine out in the yard - so I scurried to peek outdoors and it was a REALLY large airplane . It was so close down to the earth I worried that it might crash. I stood and listened  -but there was no horrific sounds and I was so grateful. I have only seen that happen one time in my life .  Who knows - ???? - maybe it was a "STUDENT DRIVER" ! LOL

Chores were done and I hit the shower . While I was in there our daughter-in-law & granddaughter and great grandson arrived. DH had taken his truck over there to have our dear son work on it for him. Poor Cory - he certainly has too much on his plate. Maybe he should not be so talented ?

As soon as they left we got ready for my counseling session. It was such a pretty drive and the weather was perfect. . We got back home  before dark now that the days are getting longer . DH spotted one of his friends and they pulled over to yack for a while.

When we arrived home I made DH a pot of oyster stew & when I discovered we did not have any oyster crackers I fixed me a serving of a broccoli something . LOL  It was good and I knew it was good for me and we both have enough for our meal tomorrow.

 I locked up the chickens & DH tilled a little on a new garden space he is thinking about . He used our neighbor's tractor tiller. We are so lucky to have such a sweet neighbor who would give you the shirt off of his back.

By then it was dark and I hit the sewing room . I am intrigued with this new idea of sewing the toddler clothes to sell. That would certainly be the answer to being able to support myself -plus be able to work at home . And all of those wonderful opportunities to play with the fabrics.!

Well, at least this time I will not be able to just wonder- I am sticking my neck out there just to see what happens? I think I might be able to be proud of myself just for trying -no matter what happens & I am sure I will learn a lot-as I always do. LOL

Like tonight -after I completed the next little outfit and went to iron it to set the stitches - yep - my iron decided to just up and die ! Wasn't that VERY RUDE of it???? I have only had it two or three years- I was expecting it to last at least ten-guess I was wrong. I was very lucky that I had a small little iron that I had kept for emergencies- so it was pulled out and put to good use. It does not seem to have much heat or steam -but  we accomplished the goal.

I hope you have had a lovely day !
Cheers - Linda

  1. Hi Linda...
    That is a wonderful little outfit!!!
    My irons never last too long either. Last time hubby bought an expensive Rowena, and it has lasted for a few years. My mom's just died a few months ago...the one I had inherited from her, and I liked it the best because it was a smaller light weight one, and the steam stayed on...the Rowena turns itself off if I don't use it for a few minutes. That is frustrating to me!

    Glad you have a good neighbor! They are priceless! ♥♥♥
