Dynamics have changed this week. The kids are off spelunking and so it's just me and the dogs. I only wish that I was as exciting as the dogs seem to think I am every time I come downstairs or walk in the front door. If they want to talk about hems, pattern layouts, or other sewing related topic--I'm there.
I don't know if it's the heat or the quietness of the house, but I've had to self-motivate a little more than usual. This morning on my way back from the bank I stopped in at Habitat for Humanity's ReStore to scout out some clothing to make more aprons. They've been received well and I want to keep the momentum going while interest is there. I scored nine shirts and blouses. My intention was to get out early and get back so I could work on several waiting non-apron projects. I started the pre-wash process while my mind raced with all the new color combinations and possible configurations.
I couldn't go to just one place, could I? So, I rationalized that if I get all my treasure hunting done today I can stay home and dedicate myself to my machine the next few days. I scored another load at the Goodwill and even found some "color of the day" tagged items.
There should be a law about going out so many times in one day but while I did my level best to stick to my guns; I ventured back out into the wonderful world of retail one more time to get some supplies for another idea.
The day did end well. I got a little work done on my alterations and all the bounty from today's hunt is washed, stacked in neat piles, and I did a few beauty duties on my work space so I'm ready for tomorrow.
