Focus – Week 45

November 14, 2018

Last week I “focused” mostly on drawing and creating patterns, so that was fun and something different.  It seems like I need to change up on what I am working on or else I get bored and just don’t want to work on things.  I have definitely hit a wall with my sewing lately.  I went through with getting projects done that I had volunteered to do, and haven’t done much in the sewing room beyond those things.  I have to get some Christmas projects done, so….need to get on that!

My accomplishments this week

Yep, no photo this week…

Sewing –
  • I sewed a tunic out of sweater knit.

  • I also made a red leather hip bag.

  • That was all I got finished last week, so I’m hoping to get some clothes made for the girl.  She’s been asking!
House cleaning –
  • I put together a list of things I need to get done around the house and to the house, so at least I set up appointments for duct cleaning, window cleaning and gutter cleaning.  We’ll see if the gutters get done…they might be frozen.
Time with family –

We definitely see the kids starting to get more independent.  Both spent a bit of time with their friends this past weekend.  I am starting to see how our time with our little family is starting to have a sunset.  It makes me a bit sad, though, I am happy as they come into themselves as their own person.  They have a good group of friends, so I have no worries about that aspect.

Health, exercising, making healthy meals –
  • No exercise, but some heavy cleaning. 🙂
  • Meals for this week:
    • Monday: sausage and black bean enchilada casserole thing.  I only have corn tortillas, so I am going to stack it all up in my cast iron skillet and bake it like that.
    • Tuesday: Chicken fried rice and yum yum sauce
    • Wednesday: Brocollini and sausage pasta
    • Thursday: Bourbon chicken, rice and corn
    • Friday: Kids were gone at sleepovers, so mom and dad went out to dinner!
    • Saturday:
    • Sunday:

Nothing really last week.


This week is going by fast again!  I have my list of things to get done, so hopefully I can get some of it completed.
