~First Day Of Autumn~

Today is considered the first day of Autumn..that summer is

offically over.. Well, it makes me think of what all I need

to do to get ready for what they are saying is going to be

a rough winter, but then too, they say that every year. I

started making a list of what I HOPE I can get done before

the snow flies.. like putting plastic on the porch and to cover

the AC if I leave it in the window, which I think would be

easier to do, they have covers and I think that would save

a lot of work. And I would like to seal up my bedroom windows

theyre so drafty I can actually feel the draft.. I think perhaps

insulated curtains would really help... Only thing about them is

the fact that theyre dark and I just don't like dark. If I

could get plastic up then I could keep my lace ones.. :-) Well

I like things to look nice but to save on the gas bill I will do

what I have to. I think just those few things will make a big

difference.. I figgure if I start NOW perhaps I can get it

done before the real cold.. Its been super hot lately.. Such

extremes no wonder I have a cold or what ever this is.. I

know the start I had this morning was rough.. Almost a jump

start you might say... sneezin, coughin and nauseated just

awful... eased up after a while..

Seems every time I get into a project like this wardrobe

and moving stuff around I just get too involved and don't

know when to quit and stop for a while.. I just like to get

things done and I hate to wait.. :-) I do too much then I

end up down for a few days till I get my energy level back

up I guess... Plus not sleeping very good sure doesn't help.

I called Laima today and left a message.. Those women are

so over loaded its a shame. She has way too many clients.

But if she can get a chair for me that sure would be great.

Then I can get rid of this bed and I would have so much

more room in there, I could put my sewing machine in there

and have more room than I do in here for it and then I

could sew.

I'm already thinking ahead to Christmas and what I plan

to make and working on my list.. There are more on it this

year which is fine with me... :-) I had Penny bring up some

of my quilt material today and sorted through it.. She is

going to take some of it home to wash, and see if the damp

smell will come out.. If not all that wonderful material may

as well go in the garbage which almost makes me sick to

even think about.. I love clothes, which makes me love

material... and I think being a seamstress we all have a

huge fetish for material.. Put me in a huge warehouse

full of material..that I could take my pick of any I wanted?

I probly wouldn't be able to choose.. Of course I would

start first with Silks.. then cottons.. I made most of my

things I sold out of cotton.. my clothes I used the silk.
And now being in this chair.. silk is the best to wear as far

as tranferring.. makes sliding so much easier, for me

anyway...

I plan to phone my sister tonite for 2 patterns I know she

has for some kids things. I'm hoping she has some made

already which usually she always keeps some made up. I

had the patterns but my sewing stuff is so scattered I

have no idea where to look and it would mean Penny going

up and down those basement steps a dozen times and

that's not really fair to her.. So a little at a time. She and

I always shared patterns and designed a lot of things while

we talked on the phone. Give us a photo and measurements

we can make it.

What I plan to make now is a path to my bed and take a

rest. I felt good till about noon but once I ate I started

to wear down.. I did get up early again, 4:30.. I just couldn't

lay, sit or anything in on that bed anymore so I had to get

up.. Now I'm ready to go back in there.. If I could get rid

of this headache I think that might help too... When I do

sneeze it seems to intensify it.. I will glad when I stay on

an even keel... my boat gets rocky every once in a while..but

I guess in a way that's good cuz it makes me appreciate

the days I do feel good.. Its that time again for my

GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!
Always, Lois ****


"God Bless You" is my prayer today.

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
