Yes, as it turns out, September is National Sewing Month. There is a proclamation and everything. Ronald Reagan pronounced this to be so in the year of 1988. How did I not know this until now? *sarcasm* It’s all quite official. I believe the exact wording is: “Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 1988 as National Sewing Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” Well, then, I’m going to go out and have myself a parade! Well, probably not, but I am going to go check out the goodies they have over at Joann.com
. On their home page there’s a 50% off one item online only coupon!

And while you’re browsing, head on over to my etsy shop and check out the stroller blankets I’ve been working on! Custom orders are welcome!

As expected, insurance didn’t cover the damage to our other bathroom that I blogged about last. Since money’s tight, I am putting on another hat…Handywoman. The Daddy just isn’t handy. And I’ve got the interest so I guess I’ll develop the skill set. I’m about 2/3 of the way through the demolition. Tile flyin’ everywhere. Drywall chunks in my hair. Part of the reason that it’s going so slowly is that The Daddy is working long weekend shifts at a second job to make extra money. That means that time without the Tater Tot is almost non-existent. And demo is not something that can be done during nap time since the bathroom is right next to her room or while she’s awake because, well, there’s tile and drywall flying. So I have made progress but it is slow. I joked the other day that I promised I’d have it done by Christmas. I’m beginning to think that it’s not a joke…and that I should have said Easter! Oh well…what can ya’ do?
