Today is Saturday. It is already 57. Cloudy but supposedly no chances for rain.
I want to do some baking today. I need to gather my recipes for that. If I can convince the kids to help, we may even work in the yard a bit.
I also want to get my apron put together. I like the style, but I think it will have too much skirt for most folks in everyday use. I plan to pin it, and see how I like it. I think instead of doing traditional gathers I will do elastic gathers. Yes I feel like a cheat, but there is a HUGE amount of material to gather. I think the entire apron takes up 4+ yds... I just do not have that kind of patience or time right now. There is a pattern I want to get that has similar lines but with out the huge skirt. I may just learn to make it with out a pattern, but I LOVE patterns, especially apron patterns so one day I may just search it out and buy it. McCall's 3845 is one I want then there is 9423. Those are the ones I am watching for on Ebay. I found one of them and am watching to see if I can snag it cheap.
I plan to get this apron done today and then look at my other apron patterns and see what I will use next. This one will be fun at work, it should be ok for the things I do there though I will have to hem it a bit above where I normally would.
We did groceries last night and I used... no coupons! Well I did use some that the store offered. I got mostly fresh foods though so I didn't have coupons for that. I may still need to go back Monday after work for frozen veggies but other than that I should be set.
Other than baking and sewing, today will see me cleaning the kitchen and bathroom.
I will probably toss in a load or 2 of laundry this afternoon.
Well off to gather recipes and find some breakfast!
Oh Yea...It's a fun Saturday. It is sunny and 38 degrees almost a heat-wave. Working on planting my cherry tomato seeds. Laundry is done. If we didn't have to eat today it would be perfect lol.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm...Saturday. What did I do on Saturday?
ReplyDeleteI remember working on making a new 2010 Planner because the one I'd found online back in October just wasn't working out. I couldn't find one (printable) that was like the 2009 planner I loved, so I decided to make my own.
Other than that, it was a non-eventful, cherished day with my most beloved Darling Husbie.
Oh yeah, that was the day we got almost 5 inches of snow in about as many hours. It was cold and yicky outside. (Yicky is a word, right?)
Love ya!
