Aug. 8, 2008 - Shopping at 4 a.m.
Shopping at 4 in the morning is lots of fun. There are no other customers, and the Walmart employees are friendly....that is amazing to me, lol. Each and every employee I passed greeted me cheerfully, I guess I could have been dressed funny, so I could have put them in good spirits....but I just think they were in general happier.
And what would normally take much longer because of other customer cart dodging, takes only a few minutes. And it's soooo quiet you can actually think. If you haven't gone shopping in the wee hours of the morning, then I highly reccomend it.
And today I was actually able to buy a printer cartridge.....finally. So, I don't have to write out by hand my motivated moms daily planner....that was getting old. I was writing each days list in a spiral notebook, lol. I have the full size daily version with Bible readings in case you are wondering. What a relief to not have to do that anymore. And being the silly person that I am, I just respect a printed out list better than I do my handwritten lists. Am I quirky or what???
Well, I had better finish printing out the patterns I am planning on making. The nursing cover pattern, the lacy shell poncho pattern, and the fleece soaker diaper cover pattern. I can now get started on these projects.
Yesterday I cut out the fabric pieces for my nursing covers, but somehow my bag of coordinating thread has gone missing. So that will be on hold until I find my thread, because I'm too cheap to buy more. I can make the fleece soakers, I have a fleece blanket that I can turn into an extra cover or two. And I need to get started on the ponchos for Christmas gifts for my girls.
I love to keep my hands busy with creative things.

Aug. 10, 2008 - Why didn't I think of that
Posted by MamaNavyBrat
I wish I would have thought of taking some of my daughters (2 of them) fleece blankets for katrina soakers. I planned on making some for me and for Miracle Diapers but had not bought the fleece yet. Though since the blankets are not polartec or maldden mills I will have to use 2 layers for sufficency.
Very nice of you to link to the patterns for those who are not diaper and nursing crazy like me.
