wren08Yesterday, in the spirit of trying to find better alternatives to retail shopping, I stopped by the local craigslist. Bad idea... or not, perhaps! I found a toy potter's wheel that someone was selling... new in the box... and my mom had asked me to look for one for Emily to play with outside this summer. So I called about that and then had to scramble to go pick it up but it's here now!
Also? I found a lady who wants to learn how to sew. This is a skill I have that I am confident I can pass on so we have a 'date' today at noon to get her started. I'm planning to take her one of my comprehensive books that I am sure I can find another copy of as a gift as well as helping her with the basics today. She doesn't have a sewing machine but hand sewing is my forte and I think everyone ought to begin there. She also has three small children... which is why she wants to learn to sew! They have things they want to take to her grandmother to get mended and she wants to learn how to mend and sew on buttons etc so that they can bring them to her instead. How could I not get in touch with her?
But in any event, I only got three batches of cookies fixed yesterday and no cards and I'm behind on the laundry... so this morning I need to fold laundry and do the few cards I plan to, go teach someone to sew, pick up more shortening and come home and bake more cookies.
It actually should be a fun day!
