Thankful

I put just over 1000 miles on my car this weekend driving to my Mom's house in southern Iowa and back home. Got home Sunday afternoon, drove my car to work and back home Monday. Left my car at home today so Mason could wash it.

He called me around 10am to tell me that he couldn't start my car to get it out of the garage. Yep, the battery is dead. I am so thankful it didn't die anywhere on the trip. Heat index pushing 116 today no wonder it died.

Sugar Cubes

This post is totally for my sister.

Homemade Sugar Cubes

Wouldn't they be cute in the wedding colors.

Headbands

Michele at Nastolgic Cafe posted about these cute headbands. For fear I will lose the link I thought I had better post here.

This is the one Michele made. Love the white. I just cleaned out our closet a couple weekends ago. What a great way to recycle some of the tshirts before David turns them into rags.

I am still working on my sewing list for the weekend. Heat index is to top 110 degrees by tomorrow. Good to plan on being indoors.

Statistics

Cars 2 topped the box office this weekend.

Glad I could be a part of the statistics.

And Bad Teacher took the #2 spot. I was part of that statistic also.

I normally don't like to go to movie theaters for many reasons but the teenager convinced me both days. I enjoyed Cars 2 much more than Bad Teacher. Needless to say another unproductive weekend considering the amount of time I spent at the theater.

Good news is a have a three day weekend coming up. Working on my list now.

Tunics

I thought you might get a kick out of this photo. Back in November I sewed tunics for a senior citizen dance group.

And here are a few of them dancing in the tunics.

My Weekend

My weekend consisted in sitting in my new swing...

Watching this one watch birds... 

... and watching the tomatoes grow. Funny thing, I was perfectly content to do both.

I don't usually share anything about my work... let's just say it is beyond stressful right now.

Twins Playhouse Done

Glad to finally pack this to deliver to the twins.

It was the chalk board that was the final obstacle to tackle. Took four attempts to find a solution. Finally used a piece of cardstock and used the chalk board spray paint on it.

David will deliver it to their Dad in the morning. No more play houses for a little while for me.

Hazardous

We had a few extra bags of trash from the long holiday weekend. Wednesday morning I took them to the curb and then took the big rolling cart down the hill. Unfortunately my shoes were wet from walking in the grass. I slipped and fell. Who knew trash was so hazardous. After a trip to the doctors office later in the day I did have good news. I did not break either ankle. But both ankles were sprained, the achillies tendon on my left foot did not detach but is torn. 

Obviously the left one a bit more damaged than the right. The swelling has actually gone down quite alot, still not running any races yet. Trash is now the teenage boys job.

Memorial Weekend

The photo is for my Mom.

Saturday was spent washing and vacuuming the cars. Luckily Mason did most of it. I spent most of the day running between the driveway helping Mason and the upstairs spare bedroom closet helping David. I got nothing done I wanted to.

Sunday was spent doing yard work and gardening. We also bought a new swing for the backyard. Instructions said it would take 30 minutes. Mason and I spent two hours working on it. I think most of that time was spent reading the instructions 5 or 6 times to understand what they meant.

And this morning was more gardening. We got the water system all setup. If I can just figure out how to program the timer I will have a pretty hassle free garden all summer long.

Heading outside to enjoy the swing and watch David grill. No rain in the forecast which means no sewing in the forecast.

And The Winner Is...

And the winner of the Sew, Mama, Sew giveaway day(s) is...

Laura and if I had to guess her last name is Selph.

Laura I have sent you an email message.

Yikes. Now I need to find a box.

I hope everyone had fun blog surfing for Sew, Mama, Sew.

I was wishing for rain over Memorial weekend. Looks like it is going to be sunny and full of yard work. The sewing list is growing unless I can get some good rain days.
