Errands to Goodwill, Trader Joe's, the Car wash all on my own....what a nice break that was :)
Not much at the thrift...a few books for Memphis and a GLORIOUS pair of wool/linen trousers for mister Soren by Flora and Henry no less....don't see that too often :)
a trip to Ikea and a new lamp....FINALLY!!! also a new shelf in Memphis' room for stuffies

So...still in a funk but fighting my way out.
Thanks so much to those of you that left me such kind words, Jennifer, Jenny, Holly, Amy, Kristen, Lulubeans to name a few. I really and truly appreciate it so very much and at least I know that my village is growing and the members are all amazing and truly wonderful ladies.
Thanks
So...not much news on the sewing front...still stalled but slowly trying to come back to life.
Many errands of late, a birthday party at a place called 'Pump It Up' for a classmate of Memphis. Lots of dog walks.
A few park visits.
Made it to the library.
Fabric store visits.

Trader Joe's
Visit from dear Portland friends...Kim and Robby
trip to Ballard
Missed book club
missed party for friend turning 40

Memphis had to go to the ER....she is okay...long story....
Soren is still waking up 3 to 7 times per night????????
The weather is gorgeous.
Not a huge fan of the 4th but at least the weather will be good.
No shop of the week this week.
Gotta run right now...afternoon playdate coming up as soon as my boy wakes up.
I will try and smile more than I frown and I will fill my head with positive thoughts about myself and the world.
Thanks for stopping by
