So day one was minimal against all comparisons, but still quite productive and relieving. Great way to start off the project. Under new guidance from the flylady, I am learning and refreshing my cleaning skills. I am taking baby steps and decluttering every chance I get.
Anyways, back to day one. For over a year I have been upset by the realization of my oldest daughters' experimentation with their sewing machine and a handy mini machine that my mother had sent me, and the subsequent destruction of both machines. I had spent half a day a while back trying to fix their machine, to no avail. This was all the more upsetting because my machine was giving me fits and I wouldn't feel peace until I had a dependable working machine in the house. Peace arrived on day 1. In an attempt to hang out with my husband on the couch, I looked around disaster central and thought maybe I could work on the handy machine so that I felt a sense of accomplishment even though I wasn't working "in" the room. I was ecstatic when after reading the directions and familiarizing myself with the machine, I was able to successfully sew a seam! Hooray!
