Sunday
Well, Sunday has not been one of the best days of my week--but it could have been worse.
I did not wake up in time to take a picture of Mom's little car. In fact, I only got out of bed to pee a couple of times until after 4 pm. Mom went to her church pot luck at about 4:30--then I went upstairs and ate some of the hotdish she had left for me and took a bath. I feel so much better now that I am clean!
When I came back downstairs, I sorted my laundry, stripped my bed, and started my wash. My sheets and mattress pad are clean and dry. The comforter and pillow shams are in the dryer, and my dark clothes are in the washer. I will have red and white loads to do tomorrow, and I may wash my blanket and afghan as well, just to have a completely clean place to sleep.
I did some rearranging of fabric containers and picked up some doll accessories that have been laying around for a while. I emptied out a shoe-box sized tote that has a top with a handle on it for the Ideal family (Tammy & Co.). I tossed in some fabric I thought would make nice shirts for the male dolls. I haven't put the dolls in there yet. They are all nekkid except for Pepper at the moment.
When Mom got home, she came down for a while and told me about the pot luck. It sounds like they had fun and that the car we made was given many admiring glances, even though it did not win.
There was not much to watch on TV. We ended up watching CSI:Miami. I worked on the doll dress I had cut from the Halloween hankie I bought at Walmart in Rochester. It isn't the nicest fabric--it is pretty thin, but the skeleton and candy corn design is so danged cute I can't stand it. I think it will make a very very cute little dress. The other Halloween hankie is also cute and much more ornate. I am going to have to think carefully about how I want to cut it out.
I have the skirt half sewn onto the bodice. I will finish that tomorrow. Then all I will have to do is sew it up the back, put snaps on it, and try it on the doll.
That's all I accomplished today. I was feeling a little sick to my stomach and had a headache today, so I spent a lot of time just sleeping or messing around with my computer.
Tomorrow I will do better.

I ended up cleaning out my cassette tapes. Now that I have the analog/digital conversion thing going I am taking all of my commercial tapes out and if I don't have CD replacement of them, they are in line for conversion. I've taken loose tapes out of the cabinet and put them in the tape drawers that are sitting in the library. I'll be going through them and tossing anything that is a back-up duplicate. Then I'll consider what I want to convert.
After I do all of the tapes, I'll tackle the albums.
I found some tapes I did of the old Spectrum of Music records. Whoopee! Converting from the tapes will be easier than the records because if I recall correctly those records had a lock between each track so you had to manually move the needle. It was a major PITA. Having already converted them to tape will make it so much easier. I also have a complete set of tapes from the CD set that no one seems to have, the one that came after Spectrum. I have complete CDs at school of the previous adoption. So I am totally set.
Now all I need is a laptop to hold them all so I can make playlists and burn them CDs.
I am really interested in seeing the outfits you make from the hankies. I love vintage hankies and have quilted with them a bit. I bought an embroidery machine (Bernina) and wanted to make my Dad hankies with his initials (yes, he still uses hankies) but haven't had a chance to do anything.
I ended up watching Extreme Home Makeover. It was about military women and Michelle Obama was on. They made a little White House playhouse for the kids at the charity house they were working on.
Re: But...but..
Apparently hers jumped the track once and one of its headlights broke off. I don't know if she brought it home or what. I'll ask her tomorrow. She said she took a picture of it before she left. I doubt they auctioned them off.
