My summer 2006 projects

What am I doing?

I'm making several "Nationals" costumes for DGD's Highland dance teacher.

Fitted khaki-colored denim skirt for older DD, who cannot buy RTW, as she has scoliosis, and the result is a right high-hip, and hemlines and drape are *never* right. Once I have this pattern altered, I'll make several more, as she has lost weight, is walking 4-5 miles a day, and likes wearing skirts again. :-)

Nine days at the Oregon beach with same DD, her DH, and my two DGC, in late July-early August.

Gorgeous white with large fuchsia flower print silk pajamas for said beach trip. (Spoiling myself here.)

Overseeing prep work for exterior painting of my house. Last time, I painted it myself, but I'm getting too old to be climbing 40 foot ladders.

Digitizing custom embroidery designs for a friend. But he drives me nuts, as I will spend a lot of time getting it *exactly* like he originally describes, stitch out a sample, then he says: "Ok, but can you change this color, add a stripe here, change the shape there...". UGH, never again.

Hosting a patio picnic for the board of a volunteer group I'm on, so trying to keep the yard looking its best.

No, not much, I guess... ;-)

Pass on my congratulations! I know how that feels... Got 2.5 lbs to go to hit my WW goal, 5.5 to hit my personal goal. :D

And no-one deserves it more!

I was *always* too old for that... ;)

:D

And you have *my* congratulations! I managed to lose about half of what I'd like to last fall, then caved over the holidays. I'm back on track now. I wish she and I lived closer, we could be walking partners. As it is, my little Shih Tzu gets a work out, I'm up to over an hour walking at least four days a week, and mowing the lawns and yardwork on a fifth day.

Gee, thanks. I just could not pass up this fabulous silk print, and it matches the color of a caftan-like robe I plan to use while at the beach.

I actually did quite a bit of work on the house until the knees got too unreliable: painted in '89, new deck in '91, re-roofed in '95... But not now, it's just too dangerous.

Well, I know it's not much of a list compared to yours, but it keeps me sane. ;-}
