Oh My!!! 20 more days, 1 more goal
Goal # 83: Be working on the bed spread that I bought 6 years ago (counted cross stitch)
I bought this about 8 years ago. I'm glad I made it a goal so I
was motivated to get it done. The picture shows what it is supposed
to look like when I'm done. In between the flowers there is pink lace tied into
a bow. I don't think it will take me too long to finish it now that I
have completed one of the roses. It is going to be very pretty.

Goal # 30: Convert tapes to CD"s
These are ones that didn't make the cut to be re-recorded. Unfortunately they
met the garbage can face to face, however I kept the covers that were
still in good conditions. There are numerous things they can be used for.
Some of them are holding things like earphones etc. and looks a
lot better in my drawer than snack bags with cords in them. Lorin
hooked one of the bigger cases to the bed to hold his iphone at night. Smart!!
These few below were worth listening to. I used the same program that
I use to do the music for the movies I make. It is called "Wave Pad Sound
Editor". It is fairly easy and the fact that I have used it before helped. I got
a tape player and hooked it up with a cable to my computer which let
me copy the tape into the program with no problems.
Thanks for helping me Lorin. The only thing I don't know
about is that it recorded as an extension .wav, which I'm not
sure if it will play on the car stereo. Does anyone know? I guess I'll record
one and see what it plays on. It was a lot of fun. I love that I'm learning so
many new things that I wouldn't have tried if I hadn't made these goals.
Thanks Tish for inviting me to join you in the challenge.

Goal # 86: Have Tish give me a copy of "Book of Dad's art"
Actually I revised the goal because I don't want Tish to "give" me
a copy, but I got my copy in the mail, and I love it!!! Great job Tish
on putting it together. I love that all the pictures are together in one place now.
I had forgotten how many pictures he had drawn,
and how good they are. Lorin and I looked at it together and he
was also surprised how many picture there were and how talented
Don was. It is really an awesome book. Thanks Tish for making it.

Goal # 13: Sew a new skirt
I have to admit that I really was wishing I hadn't written this
as one of my goals. There are a few reasons, laziness, easier to
buy a skirt than to make one, list goes on. Well, Lorin and I went
hunting for material to use and a pattern, which isn't an easy task.
We finally found some material, but I couldn't find a pattern. We had
been shopping in Idaho Falls a week or so earlier, so I decided to use
a skirt I bought for a pattern. Easy right?
I racked my brain for when I used to make up my own patterns, when
my kids were small, and decided to just go for it. I didn't actually
make a pattern, I just laid the skirt on the material and started cutting.
Somewhat surprising that it turned out.
The finished product next to the inspiration.
Different views of how it fits
I wore it to church Sunday and I am pleased with
the results. The bottom picture is the church look.
As an added bonus I found this sweater on sale at
K-mart for $1.99 on Friday. I think it was an omen.
