Whatcha Working on Wednesday!

Thank you Leslie!!

~~~~~~~

I have lots going on this week.

Hold on to your hats!

This is my current cross-stitch project

for the Stitch Along Blog

I belong to.

This the picture I posted on that on Sunday.

There are 6 shades of pink going on there

I am so glad I have the grid.

I keep getting lost even with that.

It would be much worse if I didn't have the grid to guide me.

That is 18-count aida I am using!

I posted this before.

I am still working on shortening pants

so I just used the same picture as before.

These are the black ones and I finished those.

But I also shortened a pair of dark blue ones for me too

and finished that last night.

I don't know if I am shrinking or what,

but I bought the same size as always

and now they are too long for me!

Not only that,

my B-Daddy recently bought

new jeans in 30" length.

They are usually a little long for him,

but in jeans he can usually wear them without my shortening them.

He is actually a 28" length.

Well, these new jeans were so long on him he had to

roll them up twice.

So I measured them last night

and they are actually 31 1/2" long!!

No wonder they are tooooo long!

Hmmm...I don't get that.

Pants labeled 30" that are actually 31 1/2 " long.

I shortened one of the pairs of jeans

last night.

They are still a tad too long.

Tonight I will shorten the other pair a little shorter

than the first pair.

And wash the first pair and see if they shrink enough

so that I don't have to redo the hem on them.

Then there is my jeans.

I need to replace the elastic on them.

What a job I have ripping the elastic out on that pair!

Yes, I am still trying to finish that project.

I want to take these pants on the trip.

Actually I want to wear them the

day we leave!!

Hope I can get them done.
Not much time left!

I have been working on baby gifts too.

The card that is not quite finished.

And the gift.

More on those to be revealed on

Get R Done Friday!

My sewing room closet.

See yesterday's post for more on that one.

And Helmi has been trying to help me again.

Or NOT!

She is in my way here as I try to find the pattern pieces I need.

Helmi, I think those scissors are a little big for you!

I think you better let me do the cutting.

If you ruin this I will have to get another pattern.

Here Helmi, you can hold the pin cushion for me while

I pin the pattern down.

So that is where I am at now.

Working on this and that

and trying to get ready for our trip

to visit our kiddos.

As my granddaughter says,

"I so cited!!"

Happy Wednesday everyone!
