    Tackle It Tuesday
    Tackle It Tuesday Meme

    My Tackle It Tuesday mission for today till next Tackle It Tuesday is simple: a) finish my MOTH schedule; b) buy supplies for and start to make at least one cloth diaper (I'm also adding this to my "to-do list" seen in this post ).

    I need to get this schedule finished! I've had it almost finished for a long time now and it is necessary that it gets done soon! Besides, hubby keeps saying things like "It sure would be nice if you had a schedule in place." :-)

    I need to start my newborn and infant cloth diaper stash! With my nifty new sewin' machine I really feel that once I get one or two done, I can zip through making a good stash in no time at all. I have a few patterns to try and I think I'll stick with fitteds and some beautiful covers and also make a few AIOs.

    Niki, sewing is so awesome! I love working with the fabric and making everything work. When the project is finished, I forget all of the frustration of figuring out the pattern and making everything work!

    Our Happy Happenings, the schedule is really a neat idea. I love how I can make it a loose schedule. Some follow theirs quite rigorously, but my schedule will be kind of loose.

    Laurie, you can be assured that I will be posting lots of photos if I finish this project. :-) My son and I went to Joann today and bought everything we needed. I am excited!

    jientje, I am really looking forward to using my new machine. It is a very quiet machine and because it embroiders as well, I can add some pretty touches!

    Lynne, wasn't that the sweetest gift? Never in a million years did I expect it and this machine will last me 30 years. It is nice to have a super quality piece of machinery to sew on.
