  4. Make cloth diapers for baby
  5. Make Emma and Kyra's Birthday gifts. ( Dress Pattern is Simplicity 4764) 
  6. Make Christmas Tree Skirt and 4 stockings for our house
  7. Make Christmas gifts for our family
  8. Make baby stuff we will need
  9. Down size... Big time!!!
  10. Potty Train Andrew
  11. Get Andrew in the toddler bed
  12. Make curtains for dinning room, and the Andrew's room (I am close to being done with the valance for Andrew's room)
It seems like its not so much but some of these take several steps.I hate that I just don't have the get up and go to get them started just yet. but what can you do? noting but eat ginger and crackers and hope that soon I will be happily sewing soon. That's all I have for now, but I hope to fell better after my nap and might get the curtains done today. If so I'll post and update and some pictures of them.

Sale at Joann's Saved over $600 dollars over 2 days!!!

So I saved because I spent money. If I hadn't bought 40 patters at $0.99 each I would have never saved that much, but $17 off a pattern is amazing even if I can't do that level yet. Last night I was feeling a bit over stretched looking at all of the patterns that won't fit on my table now. I started out with 4 patterns and now I have 45... I want to sew them all, and I know that one day I may have most of them made (I hope)
Sunday I spent $44.89 on:
10 patterns, 11 yards of fabric, 4 zippers, 8 rolls of ribbon, garter clips, hook and eye closures.
Kevin spent 15 and got:
10 patterns, and a pattern box
Monday I spent 15 and got:
10 Patterns, 2 pks light blue rick rack, and 1/4 inch bias tape.
Kevin got 10 more patterns for 10

I am still working on the baby underwear. I made one pair (they are ugly!!!! really UGLY!) I know they should get batter with practice, and I wish I had all day to practice. (BUT back to the real world there is too much to do to sit in front on a machine and sew.) I have pulled all my old tee shirts I don't wear and am making them in to underwear for Andrew so hopefully I can get that finished in the next few days. I'll post pictures when I do.

I have a pattern for a bag cut out, an apron, and two skirts, and one shirt. I have a nightgown I'd love to make and then I have a super special gift I want to sew for Kevin for Valentines day.

I have been bitten by the sewing bug.... only cure is to make things till I can't afford to make anything else.)
