 everybody it is 11 52 a.m. just before lunch sunday october 1st and i'm headed to another local yarn shop i bought one brand and color of yarn yesterday that i intended i was gonna make socks out of and the more i looked at it when i brought it home i'm like nope i need at least two more hanks of that because i think i want to make a sweater so there is a shop by me i've been meaning to check out anyway so we're going to go see if they have that particular color they're supposed to have it in stock but they don't have a lot of it so let's go check it out guys this is the shop here in beaverton organ it's called for yarns sake they have everything you would want knitting or crocheting um some of these shops do only knitting and they have like no crochet needles or anything they have all everything here and the ladies are so sweet and so nice and they had the yarn i needed to work on some upcoming projects so we're all good i'm gonna head to home now before i spend any more money because yeah i have a lot of needlework to do and yeah it's not going to get itself done i'll be back happy monday morning everybody it's 7 44 a.m monday october 2nd i just took my dad to the airport he is on headed out for a trip for one month with my sister elizabeth her husband his one of his sisters his brother and a few other random family members to idly so i am italian i am second generation we still own a house over in idly at least speaking italian and he didn't speak any english until he had to learn english his parents went to idly a few quite a few times dad never did but he's going now he's going to spend a month there i can't wait to see how you know what he thought when he comes back he's going to have a blast so anyway i took him to the airport i just dropped him off so we're going to head back home i need more coffee you guys and some breakfast it's nearly six o'clock in the evening and it's time to go downstairs i have spent the day crocheting and as you saw in a little clip i'm getting back to a little bit of painting and i've got some thing drying over here it's not anywhere near done but i like where it's going and uh yeah i'll give you a hint i found a roll of gold leaf it's all like i'm gonna say you're gonna have to wait and see um finished a pair of socks for bob and um working on some laundry i'm gonna go take all my stuff uh shut up everything up up here up here and head downstairs we might go for a walk but that kind of depends on what the weather is like outside because it's a little bit miserable so we'll see i'll be back Wednesday afternoon October 4th i don't think i vlogged yesterday i haven't checked the film footage but i don't think so i had thomas all day yesterday and in the morning before he got here i was doing some chores and trying to get the video editing done and all that stuff anyway today i had counseling and i deal with my anxiety and depression two ways well three ways counseling and medication eating shopping so i avoided those last two because they're not good for me i had counseling this morning i decided to stay home and finish projects i already have in process so guess what i got finished and she's cute i even hemmed her decently well there's one little mistake on the back i don't never have to see it so i'm not gonna worry about it um yeah hang on so she is pretty cute i really like it fits really well nice and bright and cheery shows a little bit of cleavage but that's okay um anyway it's a cute date night dress all right i will link the pattern down below i think it's from the mood fabrics website if i'm not mistaken it is the i literally just put it away yeah it's from the mood fabrics website and it is the xanthia dress pattern i'll link it down below it's pretty cute um it's pretty easy to put together i don't think it's a super beginner pattern but it is pretty easy to put together their pattern pieces are very well done their instructions are pretty good so yeah anyway all right i am going to clean up my mess i've already got some other projects lined up because of course i do i have a bag project i've been wanting to do for a while inspired by another t mires video um i have these overalls that i was inspired to do by a couple different videos and gigantic linen pants i thrifted for i think eight bucks in california that were never worn so but i'm gonna use for the fabric for those anyway always projects all right i'm going to change back into what i had on i'm gonna sit down and work on my socks because i'm crocheting a pair of socks and um yeah just chill for the rest of the afternoon i think i'll be back in one more sewing project before we called it a day um i finished my sock i have to do a pair the other the other side but here we go now this is patents kroy sock yarn and i found it at a local resale shop so i didn't pay a whole lot for it it is a yarn that is still in production today um this is uh maxikali the color i don't remember maxikali something maxikali stripes yeah what a fun colorway anyway and the sock fits really well so yay okay um i did one more sewing project though after i finished the sock and i bought a sonoma black knit dress i thrifted it i think it paid like four bucks for it quite a while ago on one of our trips i don't think i got this in virginia i think i got this when we were in california anyway and this is a really easy fix hold on so i don't think you have to know too much about sewing to do this so it was a simple knit dress that i liked the skirt of and so i just cut the top off and i took the skirt and i rolled it under just a little bit and i put some elastic now i do have a serger and a stretch stitch on my machine but if you don't have one you can just zigzag just zigzag um and you don't have to do the serge on the edge i mean if you don't want to but you could just zigzag that too but um really quick really easy just make sure that the resulting skirt once you do that is going to be long enough um this is plus it has pockets you gotta love a good pocket all right now really that's it for the sewing i'm gonna sit and start my second sock i'll be back okay it's about 5 15 p.m on thursday october or fifth laundry is working that's what that groan just was um i was babysitting all day today and he is just going home now he just went home now um so it's time for oma to catch up on chores that's loud um neighbor behind me is playing music really wildly so yeah anyway uh this morning i didn't get much done before jr. got here um i just you know i took some time to myself make sure i had enough coffee in me and you know the important stuff um so i did get a load of laundry started earlier now i'm doing another one i'm gonna do a few chores and then i'm gonna sit and try to finish my socks i'm hooked on making socks right now and i have plans for at least three more pairs so they're not hard to make and they're fun quick keep me busy project and yeah i'm all i'm all about that uh plus um being creative i like being creative it helps me process things up here um and let go of what i don't need to hang on to there's just tons of garbage mail i swear to god i don't think there was anything important in the mail it's all trash waste of a tree anyway all right dishes a snack it's all good i'll be back morning everybody it is friday october 6th i think and it is 9 29 a.m i am obviously in the car and yes sleeveless because it's going to be 84 degrees today um even though it's fall yeah anyway i'm out running a few errands that i need to get done we are spending tomorrow at the kids house working on the addition well bob is helping with the addition i am spending the day with the girls and the baby and by girls i mean rebecca and adopted daughter jenny and of course baby jr so basically staying at everybody else's way because you know anyway uh i don't know what we'll get up to i i have a little bit of an idea but i will film what i can i think we might be doing some vintage shopping my daughter is starting a new online store and i will link it down below go follow her and she's going to be having some really cool vintage items and home decor and what who knows whatever else she finds and yeah it ought to be really cool all right but let's go get the errands done i'll be back in the truck again it's 8 22 a.m saturday october 7th something oh it's jr six month birthday yes he's six months today he's six anyway um we are headed to the kids house because mr is going to help with the construction as he's been uh and i am going to help with the baby and entertain the ladies that aren't helping with construction wow bright um i think we're going to go out my daughter started a new vintage store again i'll link it down below and i think we're going to go out looking for things for her to sell so i think that's going to be a thing so anyway i've got my bag of a crochet stuff with me um i have a friend who saw my socks an art friend she's like please can you make me some socks um i have i'd think enough for one sock in the colorway for the socks of mine that i already made i'll put a picture here i'm not sure i have enough for two socks but i guess we'll see so anyway uh yeah that's all that's going on this morning i've had my coffee i don't feel like i've had my coffee but i've had my coffee i might need one more cup all right i'll be back all right it is i don't know three o'clock four o'clock in the afternoon on saturday bob just dropped me off at home he is headed back to the kids house to continue with work on their addition i don't am not needed to babysit and i have a choice to do a home so i had somebody one of the one of them bob actually dropped me off at home and uh he's headed back over there so i'm going to get laundry done do dishes work on socks you know all the things rather than i think it was kind of daughter was uncomfortable because i was just kind of sitting there with nothing to do and she doesn't need me to babysit because she's home today so anyway it was a little funny all right i'm gonna go inside i'll share with you my haul from thrifting at state sailing with my daughter this morning and i wasn't intending on buying anything but i found some cute fabrics so let's go take a look you are so janky and propped up on just anyway um so we went out to an estate sale shop and and a thrift store and um if you're in the portland area these are two that i'm the well especially the thrift stores one i've been to before i really like it um it's called the red white and blue thrift store i'll link it down below the other one i'll have to get the name for my daughter um px estate sale or i don't know it's a place where if you have a state sale things that need to be sold off instead of doing it at your house they i think basically bring them all there and they sell them at the shop um i don't think they're open every day but anyway when we were there they had some linens i found separate out everything so first i found these cute little cocktail napkins these are printed they were two dollars for the set again um i'd never been here before i'm pretty sure some of these are a little overpriced for what i would normally pay but these were really cute i don't know what i'm going to do with them exactly but there's a set of three with different fruits on them i've got a grapes apples maybe and cherries they're very cute um i found the these were two dollars for five oh i'm gonna take the stickers off mom's in here because i gotta wash everything maybe come off come off come off here we go um this was five dollars which isn't too bad a price for this especially since it's yeah hand embroidered how pretty is that and how pretty would that be on the front of a bag with the back of a jacket so that was pretty and they had these two pieces the smaller one was six dollars these are also hand pretty sure this is handmade not factory done taken off the okay so they had two of these i don't remember seeing two of these together before but it's this really pretty crocheted doily with this um sort of pansy on the edging not sure what i'll do with that but really pretty and then they had this table runner and the table runner was eight dollars and again i'm pretty sure these are hand done so i don't mind paying a little more than i normally would for them but how pretty is that and i might actually not cut these up and actually use them as table runners because they're really pretty um and then for five dollars i got this small table topper it's not really a table cloth but how cool was that it's got all kinds of embroidery all over it and that is so pretty nice big piece of fabric so i was pretty happy with that and then we went to the red white and blue thrift store now they had a few of these um and i only got one i'm not sure exactly what it is because i haven't opened it it was nine dollars um wrapped up very nicely i hope so if i had my reading glasses but i don't to get this unwrapped they stapled it which i'm proud that you didn't do so i've got to be careful getting the wrapping off so i don't snag the fabric there we go and jab myself i don't know how much is in here but i got it was like this and it was wrapped in plastic and and stapled and um so they look like dishcloths i love the pattern each one's slightly different color so one two then we have two in that color two in this color so that's four and then yeah and then two in this color so six for ten dollars and these would make great project bags these would just make really great project bags um so i'm pretty glad i picked up those they did have two more of this um old me would have just bought all of them but i don't really need to do that and i'm not going to start making a gigantic bunch of stuff for the etsy shop um that then just sits here but i will probably make some project bags for myself out of these and then whatever i have left i probably will list um then i found oh this is from the estate sale place i missed this one oops so this is from the estate sale place i missed this this was a eight dollar set like the came just like this and it looks like it has these two things which are probably supposed to be some sort of coaster it says mama kuko mama kuko probably butchering that i'm sorry and then it has two like placements they're double sided fabric so again i'm thinking that these would make very great project bags so i think that's probably what's going to happen with them and this is just really cute and i might even use this and attach it like to the zipper pull on the project bag because that would be cute um so and there's two pieces as two of one of two of these one in green one in pink and then two with little coasters probably a little pricey but the fabric was really cute and then at the back to the red white blue thrift store i found this now this print is funny um i'm not sure how big the piece of fabric is it was three dollars i think yeah three dollars um our old kitchen and our old house had this wallpaper uh very 1990s and it just brought back some nostalgia so i bought it it's a waverly print it's the ivy print i don't know how much is here let's see there is a piece missing out of it but that's a pretty big piece it probably was originally about a yard and a half but there's a section missing but yeah i don't know what i'm gonna do with this one probably make at least one project bag just because the fabric makes me smile but um past that i have no idea but yeah i think it was a pretty successful day anyway i'm gonna get all this into the laundry and uh sit and have a snack work on some socks i'll be back it's been an interesting day so i came home and hold on my little table okay i came home early to get some chores and things done um i wasn't needed to babysit bob stayed to help hammer a few more nails and he was going to come home and have dinner i got a text saying they were done hammering nails but they were making they were feeding him before he came home so he's it's eight o'clock he's just around the corner right now which is all well and good i had some vegetables i didn't have to make anything for him i'm fine with that i got all my chores done um we have a busy week next week between babysitting bob's got some doctor appointments and all of that stuff and i thought tomorrow we were going to be able to catch up on like grocery shopping and stuff because i do need to go grocery shopping but i just found out we're babysitting again so yeah i already closed the vlog but yes we're in the car it's nine ten at night we just found out a little while ago we're babysitting tomorrow and we decided to go ahead and get our grocery shopping
