November in Michigan can be so weird. Usually it's cold and dreary with an occasional sunny day thrown in the mix. This year it is just the opposite: sunny and even warm with the occasional dreary day in the mix. This past week it was so nice and warm and sunny that I was forced to wash windows! Today as sit at the kitchen window...the clean one...I am so glad I actually cleaned them and wonder why I hadn't done it earlier...too busy I guess. Perhaps it was also motivated by the newly painted walls in the front room, the bathroom, the hallways, the family room and the kitchen AND the new laminate floor in the kitchen. It all looks wonderful! What I do wonder about is why it is so difficult to remember how bad it all looked before it got done? It is the way everything should look, right? I am surprised how it has all motivated me to clean everything!!
Challenges!
Challenges! My youngest daughter loves challenges. Every once in awhile she publishes a challenge on her blog http://sewdutchsisters.blogspot.com/ that usually involves digging into ones endless stash in the craft room. She encourages others to join but I think what it does is really gets her motivated. She currently has 10 challenges ( 1 per week) listed on her blog. Well, it helped me get into the spirit of things as well. I had a pattern for a robe in my stash. I have always wanted a robe that was not too bulky like the old terry-towel ones of years gone by but not too thin that it would only be good for summer weather. Every year before and after Christmas I go robe shopping and have never been able to find one that I liked enough to spend money on not to mention the fact that lately the only ones available are made from velour or other synthetic fibers...which ALWAYS give static electric shocks. So I went to the fabric store....
