Not getting things done that I want to get done!

Sigh.  It's Sunday morning and instead of sewing I'm being lazy and sitting in the bedroom on the computer.  Waiting for Ev to wake up and take me to breakfast!  heehee.  We are planning to go out to eat with Johanna and Ben this evening, so I don't know if we will go to bfast or not. 

Nick has not been home much these past few days.  He is planning to move out with his friends to a house in Litchfield.  I'm happy about this.He is really excited.  I think it will be a good thing.

Ivy seems to be adjusting better now.  I have been taking her on daily walks, which we both really enjoy.  Yesterday, for the first time in a few days, I allowed her to stay in the house while I was gone for an hour.  She did not destruct anything!  What a pleasant surprise.  I'm thinking if we just give her lots of attention, she will feel secure and relax again.  The walks are a real good thing because I'm teaching her to not tug on the leash so bad and to walk with me easily.

With the time change this weekend, it will be nice to have some extra daylight when I get home from work.  Not looking forward to leaving in the almost dark in the morning, but that won't be forever.

Need to get busy on the laundry today.  I can't do load after load like I had been because I'm afraid of that washer completely going out on me.  I need to space them out, so really need to get started.  sigh.  Can you tell how utterly excited I am about it?  haha.

Joe may come down with Mom this week.  He wants to see Gram's house one more time.  I guess it's just one last goodbye for him.

So I was bad yesterday...  A friend told me that the quilt shop over in Staunton is having a clearance sale on some fabric for a dollar a yard.  Yes, a dollar a yard!  I could not pass it up.  I went over there to check it out.  There were not many fabrics at all at that price, but there were a few.  I ended up buying about 60 yards.  Yes, 60 yards!  It was a little more retail therapy to cheer me up, plus our state tax return came in, so it was guilt free.  Well, guilt free except for the fact that I'm not telling Ev how much I bought!  haha.  Good thing he doesn't read the blog!

One of the favorite fabrics I picked up was a cream color with a simple design running through it of a vine and flower.  It will make a beautiful quilt back.  I also picked up some flannel that will go well in baby quilts.  And another flannel that caught my eye was a print with cards and casino chips on it.  I thought at some point in the future I would put together a simple throw for Mom out of it. She would get a kick out of it.
