Poor Baby

My Grandson Aiden is sick with bronchitis, poor little guy. He was really feeling bad yesterday when Alex took him to the doctors, but today he seems a little better. I talked to Alex around noon and they even made a trek to Toys R Us to get out of the house for a few minutes. It always feels good to go to a toy store or ice cream parlor when you under the weather. I have been in an organizing mood lately. I am trying to get rid of a lot of stuff that we just don't use or need anymore. The Salvation Army must think I'm are nuts with some of the stuff I have given away. On the pick-up this week, the guy came to the door and asked me if I was sure of what I was donating. I should have a garage sale, but most of the stuff is too expensive for people who go garage saleing and I hate to haggle with someone who I know is going to take it home and sell it themselves for more. We have dvd's, video cameras, 35 mm cameras, etc. I know the Salvation Army is the one charity that really puts things to use and gives it to the right people. I also have, as usual, the best ideas AFTER the holidays as to what to make for gifts. So, I am also trying to clear the computer room/material staging area to see what I have in the way of material and stuff. Don't be surprised if out of the blue you get a blanket because I am trying new designs. It seems like I can't sew fast enough lately. I still want to make baby blankets for sale, but there is no where to sell them. Ebay is a bust and so is advertising in the paper. Oh well, at least I can give them away which actually makes me feel pretty good, now that I am a little better at making them. I feel SO SORRY for people who got my first efforts. I thought they were so good, but now looking back, most of my past efforts come under the catagory of "What was I thinking?" Even as early as 2 years ago. I cringe at some of the pictures of blankets. Like the one I made for Brooke for her shower. If I had more time I would have made another one, because my minds eye was sure blind on the colors for that one. I make a lot of repeats if I don't like one I have made, which happens a lot. Poor Jamie, she got this gosh-awful purple thing that was the worst one I have ever made. Well, the Indians have discovered that the chief is not around and it sounds like it is getting crazier than normal, they are so predictable. I can tell by the way they are playing if they are up to something or not. Well, see you soon!!!!!!! I can't wait for Kim to get back from Costa Rica so I can see pictures of Christianne, Oliver and the ring!!!!
