I've been busy

I've been doing a million things, but I feel like I haven't made much progress. I got some teal blue and olive green diapers and shirts dyed up but am having trouble getting the excess dye out of them. I got most of the woolies waterproofed, and they are drying. I got a flannel fitted sheet made for the co-sleeper. I shut down the "sewing room" and got our dining room back.

Mom asked for a couple dishcloths for a friend, so I made those Monday. She's also told me what she wants for Christmas (knitted wrist warmers), so I am in the middle of making them. I got some custom orders put in through Etsy for other Christmas gifts. I am going to try really hard to give all handmade gifts this year. I also have some yarn coming for a felted handbag that will be a gift too. I have a feeling I won't be knitting much between the end of August and Christmas, so I am doing what I can now.

Today I scrubbed the kitchen counter tops with a toothbrush. I still have a million cleaning projects I'd love to get to. I can't see what the last crazy project is. The day before Mary was born I scrubbed out the under sink kitchen cabinet with a toothbrush. It was so cramped under there and it took all my energy. Funny.

Going to the doctor tomorrow. I'll try to update tomorrow afternoon.
