An Unofficial What The Heck Am I Doing Wednesday lol

I haven't posted in a few days just been busy trying to catch up on everything from life to reading, sewing and not to meniton the never ending housework. I have often said I would give up one thing that I truly love to treat myself to maid service once a month.

Yea yea I know that seems a bit much but think about it. All those little jobs you hate doing there can be someone who with a smile will come take it all away. My annerversary is next month on Vday can you believe it, well on our second anneversary my husband gave me a antique silver service set.

I abousolutely love it. Only one problem you guessed it keeping it cleaned. I am afraid to do too much to it because I heard that takes away from the character of it. But I have been plainning this romantic weekend just the two of us (throwing boys out for that day) >evil grin<

Now I know there are many out there who may use their sets on a regular basis and I have even heard that using them often keeps them from tarnishing. Might have to consider doing that for Sunday mornings. When you put together romantic evenings or special occasion's with your significant other what kind of things do you together? Would love to get some ideas.

Also, I have been sewing again next month I will be selling my dolls at the State Department in DC for Black History Month. I really don't get into talking a lot on this topic because it just make some feel a bit uncomfortable. I can remember how hurtful a few people had made me feel in the past about my use of the Word Mammy which none of them took the time to even ask me why. Right down to one woman actual was having a all out protest to try and have my esty shop shutdown. How pitiful on her part, I love mammy and I don't see anything wrong with calling myself MammyStitches. Well let me get off that for now here is one of my dolls in progress I should be finished with her later on today. Need to cut out more bodies so glad Joyce brought over another box of polyfil I was running low.

I need more wool, thought about using yawn just not sure I may go ahead and do her and another one with yawn hair until I can find someone selling some dark brown and black wool. Anyone know of a reasonable place to purchase please let me know. Well the silver wont get polished with me sitting here dreaming.

Peace and Blessings
