These Fridays keep coming around more and more frequently. It's good to pause occasionally and recount the good parts of the week before they disappear from memory. I join Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story to do just that on Fridays.
1. Dresses hemmed. I don't mind maxi dresses in the winter, but in warm weather, I need the air circulating around my legs. I finally got to hemming up a couple of long dresses and have worn both of them this week.
2. A new mirror. Some time ago, I received an almost-full-length mirror for my craft/sewing room. But company was coming before we could put it up, so I tucked it in the closet . . . where it has been ever since. I asked Jim if he could put it up for me since I was planning on hemming the above-mentioned dresses and needed to check the length in a mirror. He was kind enough to do so. I always feel bad when something I've asked him to do turns out to be more complicated than I thought it would be. In this case, I wanted the mirror on the back of the room's door--which was a hollow inside door with no studs. But he got it up there.
3. Puttering in the craft room. I came in while Jim was working on the mirror to answer a question about how high I wanted it. I stuck around in case he needed me to hand him something or get something for him. Plus, I couldn't get out of the room without interrupting what he was doing. 🙂 So when he didn't need me, I worked on decluttering my work table. It was an enjoyable time, and my table looks so much more spacious now.
I've had an idea for a long time of doing everything I need to do with the blog and computer on weekdays so I could use Saturday for family or church events, or, if nothing was happening on those fronts, I could get to some of the crafty things I want to do. I have photo albums I need to redo, photos in shoe boxes I need to do something with, craft projects I'd love to work on. I have a watercolor kit I'd love to dabble with. This Saturday afternoon in the craft room was the first opportunity to implement that desire for my craft time.
4. Wrap-up potluck. Our Bible study wrapped up its spring session with a potluck dinner and discussion of what we learned from Isaiah. It was a good way to remind ourselves of some of the key points we studied.
5. Family dinner and games. Mittu, Jason, and Timothy offered to come over and make dinner Sunday evening. Jesse was free to come, too, so we enjoyed time together.
That's our week..How was yours?
