Sew Perfect for Every Body!

I have been working the list as I promised myself. The skirt is completed with enough fabric left to make a wrap. One dress is completed, well it just needs to be hemmed . I usually let the dress hang on a hanger overnight before I hem it. So tomorrow it will be completed. While doing a 10 minute clean up I found the drawing that I wanted to put on fabric. So I uploaded it to spoonflower and I'm awaiting the fat quarter that I order to see what it looks like. I have a very good feeling about this fabric design. I have been wanting this drawing on fabric so I could make a carry on bag and a garment bag. It is a drawing of me when I went to a Networking session at a local museum. I love this picture and could picture it on fabric and the luggage would be so different from everyone else it would never be confused. I had this idea at least 5 years ago. I am so happy to have found out about Spoonflower ! I also took a picture of the steps that I go down to get to the bus stop. They...

I have completed 10 baby bibs. 4 of which I gave to my coworker. She talks about how her grandson drools all the time. So at her suggestion I made some bibs very long. I hope she truly likes them and is not just being nice. It is better to give me critical review so I am make what ever necessary improvements. I was complaining that some terry cloth material is so very rough and Betty suggested I use flannel. So as soon as I finish the list below I will do just that. Here is the list 1. finish the plaid skirt by March 10, 2009 . 2. make two dresses on March 11, 2009. 3. Remind Betty to bring her quilt that needs to be taken apart and put back together. BETTY BRING IN THE QUILT! 4. Finish the quilt by March 31. 5. and this is the most important, Do Not to let anything interrupt the completion of this list. This is a short list. This way it will not overwhelm me and by April 11 I can start a new list. On my lunch tomorrow I will go to Rue 21 to search for the perfect socks. I ...

What if? What if we do something to create something better. What if you would try to solve a problem this way. When something is not definite you can you the phrase" What if." But if you do not use the phrase "What if "and everything you say gives the listener the impression that what you are saying is about to take place. Here is an example. Two of you are going to lose your job while one will remain here and become a part of the scheduling for children and adult department. If this same statement would be preceded by What if? What if two of you were to lose your job while one remain here and become a part of the scheduling for children and adult department? The first sentence gets the response of " Why would only one keep their job!" This cause the defensive mode to present itself as it should. The second sentence gets the response " Is this a possibility or do you just need some feedback as to why this would not work?" Still defensive b...

I was at lunch and when I returned my coworker was not at her desk. That was not unsuall but all the secretaries were also not at their desk. I came into the office and log on to get the incoming calls. L, returns to her desk and tell me to log off. The director comes in behind her. " Do you want the good news or the bad news?" "Good news" " You all still have your jobs and the weather is beautiful today." at this point he proceeds to talk about how beautiful the day is. "Bad news" " No raises in June , increase in cost of benefits in January , there will be raises in January but not higher than 2%." I just look at him. He say " Hey Directors like R have to take a pay cut!" I don't care about R. No pay raise in June but and increase in cost of benefits is like a pay cut in January. Unless the increase in the cost of benefit is the same as the possible increase in pay of 2% in January. But you must do well on y...

Today we had the viewing at Spriggs and Watson Funeral home at 2:00 today. Tomorrow is the Funeral service at the same location at 1:00. After the service friends and family will be at my house until? Thursday I will be back to work. Life goes on and so does the everyday irritations. I would rather be at work than dealing with all the emotional up and downs of dealing with the death of a love one. After years of fooling myself that i had already morned her because she was so unresponsive to us when we visited her. But when i did visit her I got to see her face. I even talked to her. But now after tomorrow she will be buried and visiting her means I will see a tombstone instead of her face regardless of how unresponsive she was. I would rather see her face.

My Aunt H is in a fog. I wish she had children but she did not. We always treated her like our grandmother so right now it's like helping grandma plan the funeral for her sister. She sit thinking that she is now all alone. She is the last surviving sibling of 13 children. She is lost and I am doing everything I can the help her through this but it is so difficult to accomplish something when the person you needs to do the planning is still stuck between morning the lost of her sister and dealing with the reality of being the last of her brother and sister alive. I don't know what the feels like. I don't know what to do but be there as much as my life will allow. I know that I have to include her in a lot more activities but right now, we must focus on getting all the plans in place and have the funeral as quickly as possible because. Aunt H's birthday is Thursday and I really do not want a funeral on her birthday.

Today is the first day in 3 days that I have taken to sit at the computer to communicate with my invisible friends. I barely communicate with my visible friends! Friday was maddening. We worked like crazy the prepare the meal and all as fine but this time it was a lot more work. 1 roaster to keep BBQ ribs warm, 2 crock pots, one with green beans and one with yams. A big bowl for the pasta salad. 1/2 sheet cake, which happen to be carrot cake. Everyone enjoyed the food and we got rave reviews. Wednesday and Thursday was Turkey dinner with all the trimmings so I am not sure if Friday received great reviews because they were tired of turkey! After we packed up the car and made it home. We literally just pulled into the garage and let a sigh of relief when I cell phone rang. FIL made it home fine but had no food and could not move the wheelchair through the house on the carpet. GRIEF ! We unloaded the care and C went upstairs to her apartment to get some well deserved rest and I got ba...
