I sewed a button hole by hand today! I’ve never done that before usually I use my sewing machine attachment, but that was more satisfying in its own way.
This is for my sons Halloween costume.
That pretty white thread sure emphasizes the sweaty stains in my socks 😆
I’ve had this hole in my sock for a long time and today I finally fixed it! Thanks SKIP! Y’all are helping me stay productive.
My total so far is 32,295 calories! I’m very happy with my progress thus far.
Rescued some tomatoes from the freeze. They’re still so green, but I hope that a few weeks on the countertop will help. Maybe I’ll make some tomato sauce later?
As we head into winter and the garden harvest is basically finished, I won’t be canning/freezing nearly as much. If at all.
I do have a few bags of grandmas apricots that I froze before I started tracking my calories that I hope to make some fresh jam this winter, but that might be about all I can do for a while :/
But I’ve got my other badges to work on so that’s where my focus will be.
My daughter had a playdate with a friend after school today and her friend showed me the pocket on her dress. I’m so glad I remembered this BB!! It gave me an excellent opportunity to help her and earn a BB
I never realized how many non-natural material clothes my family has until I started reading the labels for this BB. It’s a new goal of mine to buy more natural clothing.
I did find 6 items of clothing that worked for this project!
I used a shirt I bought for my husband in the wrong size by mistake. (It’s the same one I took the buttons from when I started my button jar for the BB. I used a pair of jeans that don’t fit me anymore. A rainbow dress I made for myself years ago, but have only worn a couple of times. A dress that’s too small for my daughter. A shirt I thrifted for my son’s Halloween costume that I planned to make and then he changed his mind.(silly kid ❤️) and finally, a t-shirt that belonged to my husbands father. It was a favorite of his and my husband wore it till it wore out in the armpits and sleeves.
Projects I have in mind: a pillowcase with the t-shirt so we always have a piece of my father in law with us. Some undies with the slightly stretchier fabrics, denim quilts(I have a few more pairs of jeans cut already) maybe some stuffed animals to give the nieces and nephews for Christmas.
I have a question. Years ago, my husband and I built and installed a clothes drying system that is easy to put away, and easy to access. This was before I knew about SKIP. Can I share some photos of it and still submit for a BB on it? Or will need to create a new drying system and submit that instead.
