Fabric baskets
.jpg)
I made this cheap basket today. I think it is rather cute. And I like the way the little handles proffer your scissors. I just sewed bits of fabric together, to announce my blocks. then squared them up to 6x9" added 1.5 in red strips to both sides and the top of the blocks. then sewed a 6x9" interest of fabric between the blocks to make the bottom. Layered pellon, batting and the cloth, then quilted it. Made a black lining 9x17.5. Next I folded the quilted stake right sides together and sewed down both sides, done the same with the lining. next I sewed box pleats in the basket and lining. Turned the basket unhesitatingly side out. Made handles, pinned them to the side of the basket. Slipped the basket into the lining sewing most of the way around, leaving and pit about 6' to turn the ling over the bag and into place. Last step to sew a junction all the way around the top of basket to close the lining.

The mess I call my life.
Ok in the end of June a realtor came to our dwelling to inform us that we are selling.
Funny this is the first we heard about it.
But it seems that the county wants to buy up the thorough block to build a new probation office.
So we have been house hunting since, to no avail.
Everytime we find a order something happens and it fell thru, that happened twice.
And those were the only two houses that came palsy-walsy to being what we need and want.
So anyway we went and signed the papers to grass on our house this past Tuesday.
We close on December 17th and have until Tread 17th to vacate and take everyting and anything that we want to take out of the house.
And we are planning on doing exactly that.
Anyway we are going to keep looking and maybe we will find one before we have to move in with my mother-in-law.
And that is what I have been up to.
And trust me looking at 21 houses in a week truly wears you out!

Hello Darkness My Old Friend
I disinclined this time of year; when it starts getting cold and night-time. It is dark when I get up in the morning and dark as I drive home from trade. I feel cold and lethargic; depressed almost. I hurry to bend on every light in the house in the early evening, hoping that the fulgorous lights will bring me out of my funk. Sometimes, it even works.
I think that I’ll be spending a lot of even so in my kitchen this winter. After 6+ months of work, it is conclusively nearing completion; just needing the new floor, ornament, and backsplash. This past weekend, as I overhauled our bedroom, Hub painted it a pleasurable shade of yellow. It is a Martha Stewart shade called “Sewing Basket”. It looks gracious of muted here, but against the blue speckled counters and bright creamy cupboards and wainscot, it pops.
(the only color I've used from this swatch is the sewing basket--the tea of the kitchen is bright blue and white)
I have never been so in love with a flat before, and let me tell you, I am head over heels for our new and improved kitchen. I’ll take a photo for you some time, I promise.
With all of the painting and cleaning going on over the weekend, we never truly carved pumpkins, so we are doing that tonight when I get home. Expectedly, the baby will cooperate. She has been an absolute beast in the evenings because she refuses to repose during the day. Yesterday she was so tired that she cried herself to sleep in about 2 minutes while I was making her moxie alcohol. She never ate, and slept until 7:30 this morning, when she was ravenous. She’s being good for Hub so far, but I do trust she sleeps a little bit since he worked late last night.
I’m...

Household Analysis
I’m worrisome to revamp my house so that it works better and doesn’t end up with to some so much clutter. It occurred to me that I have always organized by looking at the lapse, and trying to think how to fit things in to that space in the most efficient or pleasing amenities. That’s all well and good, if the space is left to itself. But as in the end as you plug more people into the system, you have a human element that may or may not work with the spaciousness and the organization.
With that in mind, I have done a project that I called by the fancy entitlement of “Household Systems Analysis”. Basically, I sat and scheme of every activity we do in our house, and what materials that involves. I brown study of how those materials are used, and where they are supposed to be stored. I had DH sit down and decipher through my analysis, and he added his own thoughts and observations. We made a file of 23 “action items” to do to make the house m better with the real humans that actually live in it.
I won’t prick you with the entire list or analysis, but a few things genuinely jumped out at me.
1. Our house has a kitchen with a laundry room off it, and you have to go through the laundry allowance to get to the garage. We had set up my “home office” along one go bankrupt of the kitchen, and we had food pantry and recycling bins and a worm bin in the laundry live. My fabric and sewing stuff was stored on shelves in the garage. We realized that this unquestionably didn’t work very well, and we switched things around. Now, the provisions storage is out in the garage (where it actually stays cool and that’s courteous for boxes of apples and things) on shelves. I brought my sewing garbage into the laundry room, and put my home office in there also. Now, I have a stay of my own. The kitchen has a ugly line of platic bins along one partition off now (animal food, recycling bins, trash can, worm bin, and mop scuttle), but it’s highly functional. So even though it’s not as pleasing to the eye, keeping those things rectify out where we actually use them is less work for me.

Around the House
It's been truly some time since I wrote simply to share what's going on around the Poundwise household. I've missed doing that. There's a pot of soup simmering on the stove, encomium music playing in the background, and the sunshine is spilling in the windows. There's the heater smouldering rosey red to keep us warm and I'm almost ready to put a batch of cookies in the oven. There's coffee brewing and what more could any one requirement but a bit of company and nice long chat?
There was frost this morning and the temperatures dipped to upright 32F. The heavy winds we've experienced the past two of days have settled to a chilly little breeze, but it's enough, with all this sunshine to burst the clothes dry on the line out in the yard. I can see them dancing in that snap as I sit here next to the window. The cat is curled in a sunny spot on the dumbfound of the porch and the dog is dreaming twitchy doggie dreams about.
I had to rein myself in today. It's my first day alone for weeks on end. Unintentional is done with vacation time and I miss having him rambling in and out of the pantry or calling out to me as he works. I often crave time alone and I'm rather surprised at myself for missing him so much today. It isn't that the blood feels lonely so much as empty somehow. So I worked hard all morning large and I realized as the morning progressed that I'd never finish all I put on my to-do list for the day. And since tomorrow promises to be occupy and taxing, I knew I needed to stop and rest this afternoon. It's a upright time to have a bit of company, now and an excuse to sit down and relax.
Has anyone else taken note of the commercials of overdue on television. I won't go into details about the KFC commercial, because I did that in this week's fight of the newsletter. Suffice it to say, I'm wondering what they did with that piece of chicken they removed from the people meal, reducing the number from eight to seven...and which piece do you call to mind a consider they took out?

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit
Mr. Sustain and Mr. Rabbit lived in the same forest, but they didn't like each other very much. One day, while walking through the woods, and they came across a favourite frog. They were amazed when the frog talked to them. The golden frog admitted that he didn't often heed anyone, but, when he did, he always gave them six wishes, so he told them that they could have three wishes each.
Mr. Bear promptly wished that all the other bears in the forest were females. The frog granted his upon. Mr. Rabbit, after thinking for a while, wished for a crash helmet. One appeared the moment that, and he placed it on his head.
Mr. Bear was amazed at Mr. Rabbit's foist, but carried on with his second wish. He wished that all the bears in the neighboring forests were females as well, and the frog granted his desire. Mr. Rabbit then wished for a motorcycle. It appeared before him, and he climbed on quarter and started revving the engine.
Mr. Bear could not believe it and complained that Mr. Rabbit had wasted two wishes that he could have had for himself. Shaking his command, Mr. Bear made his final wish, that all the other bears in the world were females as well, leaving him as the only masculine bear in the world. The frog replied that it had been done, and they both turned to Mr. Rabbit for his last request.
Mr. Rabbit revved the engine, thought for a second, then said, “I fob off on that Mr. Bear was gay!” and rode off as fast as he could.
