July wrap up and August plans – a bit delayed

August 17, 2017

Delayed as the summer is slipping away!  Might be because we are pretty busy over here, too.  The first week in August the kids spent with family, so hubster and I spent our evenings eating out and drinking.

I’m sure I gained 5 lbs that week.

July was actually more productive that I thought it would be, but I still didn’t get much off my to-do list.

So far this month I have:

  1. Done – Dinosaur pouch is finite and he will pick it up on Friday
  2. Partially done – Strike off sewing.  I have made 4 pieces so far this week, with another 6 I need to have done by next Saturday.  Seriously, they all come at the same time!  The girl will be getting some new outfits for fall/winter, though, so I guess that is a win.  One is a bit of a transition piece.  I got pictures of three of them last night and they turned out pretty cute.

Need to get done:

  1. Skirts and tops for Michael Miller fabrics by Tuesday.  I am taking tomorrow off work to get them done!  These are going to go to the girls on the Pine Ridge Reservation. I might have the Girl model them to showcase the fabrics, but then they will get packed up and sent off for some under-privileged girls.
  2. Leather holster for a friend that is likely getting ansy.  I NEED TO GET THIS DONE.  Oh my gosh has this been hanging over my head.  The problem is that I don’t have a pattern for one and I need to draw it up myself.  There are a few different versions that I think might work.
  3. It is Renaissance Faire time again, so my kids are going to need awesome costumes to wear.  I think the dude’s outfit will still fit him, though I might need to let the pants down.  He had growing room last year.  The girl will need a new outfit.  I’m thinking of finishing her assassin girl outfit.  She actually wanted me to make this cosplay.

Not happenin’ right now girlfriend.  I just don’t have the time.  Maybe later.

As long as she is still interested in the books, that is.

It is halfway through the month and look at that list!  I am planning on taking the last week of the month off of work so I can spend time with the kids and catch up on projects.  Hopefully my plan works!
