Like a lot of us, April came and dissappeared way to soon for me to complete or even keep up with the list for April. Some of it, April in Texas is a great time to be out working in the yard, enjoying the Texas wildflowers and the generally decent temperatures before the hot ones arrive! It's also the time for oak pollen and this year that did a number on me! Love our oaks, but everything turns yellow from the pollens.
I also decided that it was time to get a handle on the sewing area (basically the upstairs!) Had really let it get out of hand since we haven't had any real company for the past few years. Need to find the bedrooms! Hence the push for cleaning out, organizing and reorganizing. Certainly more here than I will or can use in several lifetimes and I know a few groups who can benefit. That has been the major emphasis in April and is carrying over to May. At 60+ I don't work as fast as I did at a younger age, the back gives out. So it's taking longer. Enough excuses!
I made the 5 AM run to the airport this morning, dropped off my Dad and hubby and I have a week to myself. Here's hoping I can accomplish at least part of what I want to get done while they are away!

Good luck getting a lot done while you have the house to yourself. Wish that would happen in my house. I'd love a week's vacation by staying home by myself and doing whatever strikes my fancy.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful stitching week ahead! Good luck!
