SOME DOWN TIME??

Hoping to not jinx it, but I've been thinking about how quiet my week will be coming up. Normally I would watch my before school kiddo this week, but her mom has the week off so they don't need me. And there's only 1 day this week I'll have the other two. Plus the preschool will be closed Thanksgiving and the day after. I'll have 3 afternoons at preschool and hopefully after that a very mellow 4 day weekend (with the exception of a quick Black Friday shift at BBW).

I'm so excited to stay up later and sleep in and have the time to sew. So excited that I spent my morning cleaning just about everything in the apartment! The kitchen got a major scrub down -- I even pulled apart the pieces on the stove and cleaned them. It seems that it can get stuffy in our place real quick, so the windows are all open to get some fresh air in and blackberry apple oil burning. I wanna run to the store or something just to come back and unlock the door to a nice, fresh smelling place! The only thing left is putting away laundry when it's done, which I'm hoping to enlist Chad's help when he gets home from work. I hate putting away laundry.

Here's my "the only place where housework comes before needlework is in the dictionary" projects for this week
- finish the 4 out of 6 bags I have already cut out and just need sewing
- work on some more bobby pins
- make some cute baby things
- start knitting this sweater
- work on Christmas stockings for us and my family who will be here for Christmas
