Despite all my good intentions, I was unable to finish my mother-in-law’s purse before the school year ended. Some of the distractions I should have anticipated: Voting Day fell right on that last week of school, and reading through the voting materials and filling out the forms took some time. Helping with the parent-part of the eighth-grade middle-school graduation ceremony also required some attention. There were a couple of primary school rituals I just HAD to attend, and I also had to shop for and drive to three different end-of-year parties. Then there were the unanticipated obstacles: my four-year-new washing machine chose to break down right at that time (of course!), leaving me with piles of unwashed clothes. This required two different technician visits (one to diagnose the problem, the second to change the broken part), and left me with two-weeks-worth of laundry that had to be done all at once, and which took hours to do. In the end, I had a lot less time for sewing than I expected. Still, I managed to at least start that green-and-yellow summer purse before school was out.
As Expected, the first few days of summer were busy. But today my husband’s company had a “Take Kids to Work Day,” which gave me just the break I needed to finish my own project. I hope my mother in law likes it!
