I finished sewing in that damn zipper. I did it by hand. It is the hands down ugliest zipper I have ever done. I won't even show it to you. Not even if fyou beg. I started pinning the hem on the costume as well, but ran out of steam. I MUST finish it shortly as we're busy Weds. and Thurs. is Emily's halloween party (plus I need a tiara by then too!).
I'm feeling ready to load away the sewing machine.. Maybe for a week or two. It's time to clean the house. Time to get ready in case THAT happens, but time to clean thins up. I started magic erasering the walls in the kithcen today and will hit the store for a scrub brush and some gloves so I can clean the baseboards and under cupboards.
I'll be purging again, just in case. Less to pack. Less to deal with.
In taking some inventory tonight, I realize we need to replace so much. I need new flatware. I'm tired of of the Correl dishes we have. My tupperware, or what passes for it, is mismatched and barely functional. I suppose that's another plus of Eric getting another, better paying job. We can afford to replace this stuff all at once and maybe even not move it.
