Hump Day

If we can get thru today, we will have it made, on the downward bend to the week end.
When these socks and mdse are delivered to Peoria, I think I shall take a whole day and simply do NOTHING. Or is that possible? Probably not, since my sewing room looks like a tornado hit it. Last night I noticed that I actually felt a bit nauseated when I went in there. Where do I start? Kim would probably suggest, a big dumpster outside the back window. Open the window and start pitching. But, as of right now I just can't simply do that. It just needs to see a vacuum cleaner being used on the floor. (This olde gal seems to not be able to hit the garbage can with her little strings when she sews). Push the sewing machine back where it belongs and disassemble the make shift cutting table. Stacking a few things in the closet then it really wouldn't look too bad.
Of course, when I get this project done, I want to put in that crib size quilt and get it done before Thanksgiving if possible. But, definitely before Christmas. So I can get it in the mail to the little girl it is to go to. Hopefully it will make her very happy and keep her nice and warm when the snow flys.
This morning there was a live segment at Holy Family with Julie and the kids stuffing almost 100 stockings. The rest we will not stuff, it will all go to Peoria and they can stuff them there. It is live on WCIA Tv morning show with Amber Jenne.

Julie brought me the ones his mother made, she got rather fancy with them. I wasn't going for the fancy stuff this year, I was going for quantity. If I do 98 more I will have done over 500 myself. The other night a gal from church brought me a ton more material that can be used for socks for next year. May have to make them two tone since some of it looks as tho it is very light colored.
I may try and sew a note in the toe of the ones that I sew next year. Kinda trying to figure out how I would or what I would say. "Sewn with love by Verna, Moundford Free Methodist Church, Decatur, IL." "Best Wishes from Verna, Moundford Free Methodist Church, Decatur, IL".....
Bud came home this morning from his Knoxville, TN run. Understand he is to go somewhere way up in Michigan for Friday and home on Saturday. Said this run was a two man run. So when I know he is out of town, I try and make the most of my time and do something I really need to get done, but have a hard time getting done if I have to stop and cook dinner of a evening.

So Guess it is past noon on Hump day. We have survived this day thus far, on the downward road to a couple more days off, perhaps I shall be able to get that room cleaned up this week end. (I don't have to rack my brains when I clean) so it should be fun and relaxing to get it all whipped back into shape again.
Guess time will tell.
