Yesterday was a good day

...despite being woken up at 3:15am by the rain. Then, of course, Phelan was up at 4am, Cleo was up at 5am. I got Cleo back to sleep and made Phelan lay down and try to sleep. (I think he may have dozed a bit... I dozed a bit.)

Made coffee in one of my new coffee filters. My hubby asked me where I got the idea for them. I said, "Well, I was making a grocery list and we were out of coffee filters."


I used some 30 year old fabic that I have been carting around with me over all these years, and now I don't ever have to pay $2.00 for coffee filters again!


So, on top of finishing a total of 5 coffee filters, I mended all four couch pillows, a bed pillow, and made three pillowcases while Cleo was taking a nap. That's it for the quick stuff. Next I'm going to work on some wool pants for Phelan and a sleep sack for Cleo using some old wool sweaters picked up at goodwill. But first I need to do some shopping! Pinking shears, a zigzag foot, zipper foot and a zipper.

Yesterday I also did my first massage in four years! I've been lookng at ways to work from home to earn some money and getting back into massage on the weekends seems like the perfect job. Rick stayed home with both kids and did very well. It felt good to earn a little money on my own. Probably just enough for my pinking shears! ;)
