Notes

I am not sure what I have accomplished this week that I had on my list. Maybe I should just make some new lists. The biggest thing I guess is Isabels quilt. I have worked a lot on it, but it is not done yet.


I have so many crafty things I want to make, but I just don't have either the time or sometimes just not the resources to do it. Still I should redo the list and post it here with links. That should be a task I should be able to finish by next Tuesday, right?


My family and I are going home to Norway for a visit and I think I am almost ready for the trip. All I need to do now is pack. I should probably make a list for that too. I am so nervous for traveling with a baby again, some lists for things I might need in my hand luggage would be good.


I want to plant some flowers in my planterboxes before I leave, that way they are nice a big when I get home. Need to make some lists for what I need for that then. I also need to get started on the yardwork for the homeowner association, lots to do there.


I definitely need to make a list of things I want to do around the house.


So for next Tuesday I have to have at least 3 lists made and maybe something finished. If I can get there I can get anything done ;)

Clothes for my daugther - Moms' 30 Min Blog Challenge at Steadymom

My daughter who is 5 1/2 is very petite. She is long limbed, but short and lean. This winter I found she had outgrown almost all her fall clothes and I went out and bought her some new tights and pants. Since everything she had at home was a size 5, I ended up buying size 7 for the most part.

On the jeans I made sure they had adjustable waists or at least good loops for belts. But on the tights there were no such option. Needless to say all her pants fell down around her knees the first day she wore them and she was somewhat frustrated when she came home from school. Though I must admit it was pretty funny when her pants fell down while at the playarea at the mall.

My mom and I decided that it was time to redo the elastic in the waists on all the tights. We snipped the waistband open and threaded with new elastics. So much better now, but then she didn't like the little knot that we had made in the back. It hurts mamma...

Now the pants have been on my sewing table for almost a month for me to sew the elastic together. It is just not getting done. I do have a feeling though that I will have to put it on my to do list for today as she just told me her closet is empty for pants and she just has dresses left. Can't let her wear dresses when it is raining and I really do not feel like doing laundry.

Finally my to do list for today is

get Isabel to school, biblestudy group for me and Sofie, grocery shopping, sewing, cooking and baking.

Should be a great day as these are all things I actually enjoy doing, but have been putting off for so long.

That took me 20 minutes.

Edited to note (just had to relearn how to put links in my blog)
