100 degrees...that's nothin'!

I know it has been a while since I last posted. I was in Tennessee for a couple of weeks visiting. I am back and trying to get ready for the beginning of school. Today I went in and counted uniforms. That was the most boring thing I have done in a while!

I heard that today is supposed to be the hottest day of the year. It is already 100. I remember in Saudi Arabia it being 137 degrees. I will have to admit there wasn't much humidity but still, 137 degrees is hot. I just have to thank God that he created the person that invented the air conditioner :).

I think I am actually going to get some sewing done today. I got a new machine a couple of weeks ago. It is a Pfaff 2170. I haven't tried the embroidery part yet. I will have to do some reading first. I want to take the classes on my machine but because I didn't buy it there I have to pay $400 for them! I think I will wait on that. I consider myself relatively intelligent so I am going to see how far I can get by reading the directions first.

Too Many Hobbies

I know there are others out there with the same problem I have..... too many hobbies. I have probably no less than 20 projects going on right now of different varieties. 2 cross-stitch, 3 paint, make that 4 paint, 3 sewing, 8 crochet blankets, and I am sure I have missed something. Oh yeah, 2 crochet scarves.
I have punished myself....I can't buy any more yarn until I am done with one of the baby blankets I am working on. Not that I need anymore yarn. Or anymore material, or anymore thread, or anymore paint, or wood or canvas....... I also don't need anymore magazines of ideas. But those I always seem to buy.
In 2 weeks I am going to learn yet another handi-craft. I am going with my mom to the Martha Pullen Sewing School. I am going to be learning mostly hand but some machine embroidery. What if I like it?? I don't need another hobby!!! Sigh... You know, I can't understand people that say they are bored and have nothing to do. I don't think I have ever really had that problem. And when I am bored of doing the stuff I am doing I simply just start another project :). Hmmm, maybe that is why I have over 20 projects going. I think my mom should have had me tested for ADD when I was younger. I read somewhere that there are 2 kinds of crafters. One crafts for the joy of finishing something. The other crafts for the process. I am definitely the latter. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy completing a project. But it doesn't bother me in the least that I have a cross-stitch project I started 5 years ago still unfinished. Or a crocheted blanket that has been in the works almost 7 years now. It isn't like I don't ever finish something. I do...I finish a lot of things. I just prefer starting them....haha, Well, I am going to organize a bit and maybe work on something. I promise I won't start something new tonight!
