Busy day

... as Saturdays usually are, starting with the fact that Saturday is our laundry day. Beyond that, I had to cook today, too. ugh.

On the crafting side, I finally sorted out several boxes of buttons someone gave me years ago (her in-laws had a small button manufacture and when they died, a lot was left over). I filled with the 12 little sewing boxes I'd made for the fair with fistfuls of mixed buttons, which also solved the problem of the expendable ones. *g*

Sewing-wise I didn't make much progress. I've made one pillow-case, out of sheer, pig-headed stubbornness, but that was all. Tomorrow I'll do better... or so I hope.

The promised storm arrived half a day late, in the early afternoon. Heavy rain + strong wind = leaking balcony. Fortunately, my makeshift catastrophe prevention worked, and the rainwater went straight into the plastic bucket where it was supposed to go. I dread the day when it won't be enough anymore. :(

I know someone has to make buttons, but the idea that you 'know' someone who made buttons is crazy. lol

From hearsay only. Who I actually knew was their daughter-in-law. But it proved useful for me — so many buttons!

Sunday is usually my laundry day because the other people in my apt bldg use the machines less on that day than the other days.

It must be annoying, having to wait for the machines. At least Louise the Older only works for us.

Making little pillow cases sounds like ideal sewing to me. It can be picked up and put down at will. But I suppose when you're making a dozen or more they can get boring.

The putting down at will would be helpful — if I wouldn't have so many things to make for this fair!

I wish I'd be able to fix one day a week as laundry day. Alas, with so many people flitting in and lut laundry has go get done twice or even thrice a week...
