Weekend To-do List

I finished about half my weekend to-do list. I forgot that I had so much to do this weekend. Also we had more washer issues so a trip to Menards is in order, which is okay since we need a new toliet seat and a facuet. We will also stop at the YWCA and cancle my gym membership since I haven't been there in six months.

Once we go to Menards tonight, I am broke until my next paycheck. I have been spending more money lately, which is fine because I had the money, but right now I just have to stop. I also need to stop going out to lunch every day because it isn't good for my money management nor my health.

Next up, I need to save up for a wedding dress.

Writer's Block: The name game

[Error: unknown template qotd]

It is my first name. I was named after my maturnal grandmother who was named "Salma Bertine" though everyone calls her "Sally". I wouldn't change it. I am always a little disburbed when I can't get "bertine" as my username. I usually go with "bholmboe" then but it isn't the same!


BTW, I know I am really easy to stalk on the internet.

Xerxes and quilts.

Xerxes, originally uploaded by bertine.

I spent a good amount of last week ripping seams that I did wrong. Then I had to recut the black sashing and re-sew them to the blocks for my mom's quilt this weekend. It was good to make progress on a quilt again. I am hoping that I will have most of the top done before the weekend.

Xerxes is obsessed with the sewing machine. I think he likes the sound it makes. He also likes to lay on any new bits of fabric that I make. He is the official quilt block tester to see if it each one is comfortable enough.
