 Hey you guys, happy Sunday morning. It's 926 a.m. Sunday July 9th. I think we are starting off our Sunday morning doing something we haven't done since before COVID started. Yep, we're going to the gym. Oh god. It's not my favorite place to get exercise. I'd rather just walk the neighborhood but you know it's nice to be able to have that option when weather sucks basically. If it's going to be you know 100 degrees outside that's not when I want to go walking. If you know it's really stormy out and it's not safe to go walking. Today none of those are true but we did know we need to bite the bullet and just start going back to the gym at least once a week. Go back to a routine. Yeah back to a routine so we are going to start our Sunday morning off doing that. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll be back. Everybody it's 10 17 ish a.m. Monday July 10th. I have more crocheting to do because I'm working on a couple different crochet projects. I have video editing to do. I kind of want to film a video and get that edited too and just a day at home. My stomach is very gurgly this morning. I don't know why but you know anyway it's going to just be quite day at home. I have projects to do things to get done. I am babysitting tomorrow and so he comes in around lunchtime so I have today and tomorrow morning to get stuff done and then the rest of the week is pretty busy so I guess I should get to it. I'll be back. I haven't edited any video. I was too busy making a bag. I wasn't intending on making today. Now I've got to clean up that and the sewing machine and the thread on the floor. Turn off some lights and maybe grab a snack and then get to editing because editing has got to get done. It's okay I've got time only halfway through the day. All right so it's like 7 30 it's a little bit cold. Putting on sleeves aka a coat might not have been a super great idea but it wouldn't be the first time I took it off and tied it around my waist. Anyway we're gonna go get a few steps in but I'm with him so that means he won't be able to walk as fast as usual or probably as far. I'll have to take my time. Oh god. Slow down. Yes anyway we're gonna go get some steps in and then go back. Hopefully I can get the last couple rows done on the baby blanket tonight and then I can work on the edging tomorrow but we'll see. I'll be back. Have I vlogged it all today? I don't think so. It is Tuesday, January, July 11th and junior just went home and because today was a babysitting day and I haven't got a whole bunch of stuff done today although I did get some lace dyed for next upcoming recycling project which is a coat and whether I dye the coat also or not I'm not sure yet. I don't think so but we'll see. Anyway I'm gonna sit and finish the baby blanket I'm working on. Have some water and a snack because watching little ones even if they're only a couple months old takes a lot out of you. So anyway we'll go walking when Bob's off at work and then we'll see what else we get up to. I don't know yet. I'll be back. It is 11 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 12th. Pretty sure. Anyway I had counseling this morning and did a couple of chores. Now we're going to go out and run some errands. I did dye some lace yesterday for my next upcycling project and it came out a little too red so I have it soaking right now in some gray dye. We'll just take a chance. We'll leave it soaking in there until I get back. It might turn out too gray but we'll find out. Right now it's too red so gray would be better. Anyway okay all done with our errands. I found a couple things at Goodwill, a couple things at Value Village and a book for Mr. Bob. I think he's gonna like. I also got the groceries I needed. Check the PO box. By the way if y'all want to send me happy mail I do have a PO box. Address is down in the description. Anyway I am starving to death to the point where my stomach's kind of nauseous so that means it's time to go home and eat. My counselor and I of course are talking about my mental, physical, health and well-being and she reminded me I've been wanting to try coconut water and it's really good for you. I don't have any idea what it tastes like but I do like coconut. Raw coconut. So we'll see. I got some at the store. Also for the first time in a really long time I was a little creeped out at the thrift store. Had some young man who I'm sure was young enough to be my son come up behind me and say hey baby I'm sure he was talking to me because there was nobody else around but him and I. So I said I'm fine and I went back to putting my nose into the shelf so what I was looking at and then ignored him. It was weird you guys. It was very weird. So anyway I am gonna go home now. It's time to go home. I'm done dealing with humanity. All right that's it for the minute. I'll be back. Okay guys so this is for another upcycling video. We're gonna start working on that blazer. So you've seen this blazer hanging on my mannequin for a bit now in the vlogs. I've talked about it. I paid about five bucks for it recently at a thrift shop and I don't think it was ever worn very much because one pocket was still sewn shut. Okay you guys I once I got home from errands was sewing and sewing and sewing. I'm working on the jacket. I am filming it for YouTube. It's seven o'clock. I lost track of time and if I hadn't had taken a glance at the at my watch I'd probably still be sewing until the jacket was done. I tend to be obsessive about things a little bit. Yeah anyway we should eat dinner and I think I'm thirsty. All right I'll be back. Good morning everybody. It is 10 27 am on Thursday July 13th. I think I head out to run a couple of errands and then I've got to pick up my sister at the airport. My dad is driving down from his house today. Also we're gonna do family dinner night tonight with them and then dad takes off tomorrow for Florida well Chicago and then Florida because he's going on a cruise with my sister Karen my other sister and Elizabeth is going to be helping our niece Katie move. She and her family are moving so she she's flying in today from Utah to help her move. There's a lot of stuff going on can you tell? So I've got any sewing done today. I might not get any sewing done for a couple of days on the jacket but that's okay. I can stare at the pieces I have pinned to it and make sure those are what I want to do which I'm fairly certain the answer's yes and just be double sure before I take it any further and yeah it's all good all good so anyway I've got my water I've got my wallet I've got my keys I'm all good I think I got my small tablet so I can read while I'm waiting for my sister's plane to get in so anyway we're gonna go run a couple errands and good morning everybody it is Friday morning July 13th I think oh Friday the 13th oh anyway maybe it's the 14th I don't remember it's Friday it's 9 16 a.m we just dropped my dad off at the airport he is headed to Florida to meet up with my sister and her family my sister Karen and they are all going on a cruise I think to the Bahamas and this is my first dad's first trip a vacation like this out of the country and his 84 years of life he's never been out of the US so yeah anyway I'm very excited for him he's gonna have a good time I think now I have to make my way home so far traffic's not been too bad cross your fingers it's still that way on the way home because Portland traffic's been horrible lately so but we'll see I don't know all right I'll be back so my sister's still working and when she's done we're gonna go out for a bit but while I am here with some quiet time I decided to rearrange my trims and doilies a little bit because this stack of drawers was traditionally yarn and embroidery floss at least that's what I thought was in there I went into one of the drawers the other day to get something out and realized there's a bunch of a bunch of ribbon in there and it's not the thin silk ribbon I used for embroidery was just yeah so plus we had these bins over here where are we here there were like overflowing I couldn't the bin with the doilies in it had lots of other stuff in it I couldn't find what I wanted it was just a mess so I consolidated some of the yarns and things at the bottom so it freed up a drawer a whole drawer at the top which I then put all the ribbons and trims that were over here over there then I had an empty bin a whole bin over here so I separated out the sort of netting and vintage fabrics from the lace and doilies yes I have a whole bin of lace and doilies and that's after I've used a bit so it's all separated now easy to find yeah loving that all right I'm gonna sit and have some water now wait for my sister to get finished and then we're gonna go run a couple of errands and I'll be back we are leaving my niece's house and we helped them pack a bunch of boxes in the garage we can't help pack the pot because it's not here yet but we did do a lot of stuff in the garage I'm a hot sweaty dusty mess so anyway we're gonna head towards home not sure what else we're gonna do today but I'll let you know I'll be back hey guys it is 9 16 a.m Sunday July 16th yes I forgot to close the vlog yesterday was a very busy hectic stressful well not stressful exhausting day we helped do some packing at the niece's house and drove home and then Bob got a call can he come help today tomorrow then today at daughter's house with some of the construction going on over there which we didn't know he was doing which meant that after dinner we had to go grocery shopping because we were going to do that this morning that was just a crazy busy day needless to say I forgot to close the vlog anyway some of that's for next week's vlog it has been a great week not as productive as I would like but you know what life happens I did find another interesting free pattern on the internet which I'm printing out right now I also picked up a couple of cool things at the thrift recently this last week with my sister one of them is a jacket it's middle of summer 90 to 100 degrees out and I'm making jackets which yeah it makes no sense but that is what it is all right anyway I hope you like share and subscribe I hope you guys have had a great week that you've had a creative week that you've enjoyed your week if you have any questions comments or concerns please do leave them down below check out the video description and above all go out and have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it I'm going to finish my coffee I'll see you next week bye guys
