Two down so far.
We're having sirloin tip roast, potatoes, and cabbage cooked in the Crock-Pot, so no work for me for supper this evening.
I found the fabric I was thinking of for the mixer cover and it should work out perfect. Now to decide the style. I'm thinking just a simple skirt, but we'll see. I'm not fussy, just want something presentable and very, very washable to keep the dust and grease off of it, since it has to sit next to the stove.
In the search for the fabric, I also found some sheer curtains I didn't remember I had. I'm VERY happy about that because I've been wanting to make some see-through re-usable produce bags for grocery shopping, and also a sheer bag to use as a salad spinner. So I made up the salad spinner and a half dozen produce bags. BONUS! Love that. I've used dish towels for spinning salad but I've been waiting for the time I dropped a corner while spinning it and watched my salad be flung all over the yard.
My wet produce should be more secure now in a bag instead of a towel.
Still have to make myself do that zipper on The Sweater. Third time's the charm, right?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm also three for three now! Got the zipper put in The Sweater, finally. I can't believe how much trouble I had with that. It's like I had never touched a sewing machine in my life!

Which means didn't get much else done all day on these. Small amount cleaned out of purse and 1 bill paid. Back to the checkbook AGAIN tomorrow.
Tomorrow will post for tomorrow.Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
