I did it!

I did it, today I had to use my sewing machine. I have a class tomorrow for Girl Scouts and one of the homework projects was to make a mess kit drying bag. I used a very heavy material and thread. I thought my machine was breaking down, it was making a lot of loud noise. But after I got done making my bag, I tried stitching a couple of cotton patches and the machine was working fine. I need to find a place to take my machine for service and I need to get some new needles, but it was working. Maybe next week I can get some more done. I only have four days of work and although I could use the money, I also need time to get things done around here. Nothing gets done here if I am not around to make everyone do the chores.

One more Day

Well, hopefully one more day until I can finish unpacking and start sewing. I still have to pick up a hook to hang the lamp in the ceiling. The room has no light to speak of. Then I can finish unpacking the sewing things and get it organized and do some actual sewing. I have been so busy with work and trying to spend time with the kids, that when I do have any free time I end up laying around the house. I do however spend at least an hour a day on reading blogs too. When I get home after work at night I read some blogs and then play some computer games while having dinner and then it is off to bed. No time for sewing then. So I will only be able to sew on my days off and sometimes in the mornings. Oh well, we do what we must, but I sure miss the days when I was the stay at home mom and had more time to sew.
