The good, the bad and the sew-y

Bad: My laptop decided to not acknowledge the existence of the internet this week. I could check my email through my iphone, but that's about it unless I deigned to use the children's computer.

Good: I finally spent some time redecorating the room that Adelaide and Arabella share. I've been working halfheartedly on it for a year or two now, but Mister set up a new sewing nook for me. That, coupled with the sudden bounty of free time, and I actually got some curtains and bedskirts sewn.

Why wasn't my house immaculate and all my projects finished before the internet came to pass? Oh yes, I read books back then. Any excuse to not do what I'm supposed to!


Music to sew to: (you know I love it super old-school!)
The Ink Spots-- "I Don't Have to Set the World on Fire" (I could listen to this 100 times a day.)
Fats Waller-- "My Very Good Friend the Milkman" and "Every Day's A Holiday"
Georgia Gibbs-- "If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked A Cake"
King Cole Trio-- "Frim Fram Sauce"

  5. I always managed to use up my time without cleaning or anything before internet, too, this is just a more entertaining way to do it.

    I am stuck with no decorating budget for a few months as we rebuild an emergency fund after using all our savings to buy our new house.
