No Spending, No Problem!

HA! I spent NO MONEY today! A one - day victory! Julia doesn't have school Monday or Tuesday, so I'm hoping to keep busy with projects around the house, & don't plan any spending for the next couple of days. She really wants to sew, so I'm going to pull out the little machine for her. At most we may end up needing needles for the machine, since I have some jeans to take in, and I keep breaking the needles for denim. I have several items of nice clothing that just don't quite fit, but I'd like to try to fix them. I've found instructions on how to make your own dressform, so I might give that a try! It sounds crazy, but so does a $150 dressform. The final thing I really need is the elusive perfect pair of black pumps. I have a couple that are passable, and I have a couple of gift cards for stores which may eventually have what I'm really looking for, so I'll just keep my eyes open.

On the cleaning - out front, I have a couple of pick-ups scheduled with a local charity. On Friday we'll say goodbye to a bunch of big stuff from the garage. A jogging stroller, bike trailer, school desk, and toy ATV are on the list. Clearing that stuff out will go a long way in the garage!

On Wednesday there's bookclub (at least it doesn't bring anything new in to the house), Thursday housecleaners, and then maybe no spending for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Can I keep myself busy organizing my closet? You never can tell. . . but I'm hopeful!
