A Day in My Life.....

Today was busy, busy, busy!!! Busy not so much in that there was much to do or places to go, but busy because there literally wasn't a spare moment to be had!!!

I had come to the conclusion that it was high time for the kitchen to get a good cleaning (not a spring cleaning mind you!!) and for the refrigerator to be cleaned out, so that is what I tackled this morning. I also had practicing my Horn, dinner preparation, making skirts, and doing a blog post on the agenda. Oh, and don't forget about watching Sawyer as he and Sayre were the only other people at home this morning!!! do you know how much trouble a twelve year old with an active imagination and a almost three year old who is a willing victim can get into????!!!!

I had forgotten how long it takes to really clean our kitchen (moving everything and wiping down counter tops, washing stuff that's out, etc...) and then our refrigerator is extremely full which made unloading and re-organizing it rather interesting, so it took much longer than I anticipated. I did have a happy helper who enjoys washing and drying dishes!! :o)

I think Sawyer's highlight was getting to finally go up-stairs and play while I practiced! It's amazing to see how happy and excited he gets over the seemingly small things.

After putting Ham-man down for his nap I began work on these skirts. They are drawstring skirts that the lady I help has me make when she's really busy. Two of them have ruffles which I've had to learn how to make; I've been leery about making them because I couldn't grasp the concept of squeezing that much fabric onto a much smaller piece of fabric. She showed a simple and easy way of doing it so I actually understand what I'm doing now!! The two ruffled ones are not quite completed as I need to run them through an over lock surger to finish their hems off.

Tomorrow looks like another busy day complete with a Horn lesson and company so I would probably be wise to end this post! I hope everyone has had a wonderful day.
