Pockets and Everything
I like making lists, and I like crossing things off lists even more. In an effort to get some more items on my 1001 Things list crossed out, (oooh, pretty) I got out the sewing machine.
13. Make curtain for under sink I know, there's not a photo of it yet, so it doesn't exist, but I can't find the curtain rod we bought for to hang the sucker up. Trust me, it looks nice and I made a tidy rolled hem and everything, and there's lots of the fabric left over.
32. Finish Nathan's pajamas The hems are a bit long, so I'll need to re-hem them. Meanwhile, Mr. Manly is wearing them tucked into his Prairie Boots. He looks like some sort of deranged sock monkey jammie-wearing paratrooper, but as long as he's happy...
And there's some other progress, too.
12. Turn juniper patch into edible garden - working on it. I cleared away most of the debris yesterday, and now all that's left are the stumps.
31. Watch at least one Oscar movie/month (1/35) - watched first half of The Best Years of Our Lives last night. It is wildly exceeding my expectations. I'll have a write-up and (with luck) a recap of the project so far by the end of the week.
47. Re-seed lawn - I bought a bag of seed, I should go out and do at least the half of the lawn that's not going to get trampled on this weekend.
69. Send 15 postcards - hey, send me your snail mail address and I'll see what I can do.
Comments
Seriously- I love all of Nathan's faces in the pictures you take.
