Tax Time

I really hate the time of year when hubby decides it's time we do our tax return.  I don't put in a tax return as I don't earn any money.  So why do I have do all the work for his return??  He's had 8 months to get his act into gear to do it.  Now when it's crunch time, he gets all upppity when I can't find the info he needs....

URGHHH

Driving and Donating

My baby girl is now licensed to kill - with a motor vehicle that is.  This morning she passed her driving test.  It didn't take her long to get out on her own either - like only 2 hours after the test.  She was so pleased she passsed.  Congrats to her.  No more playing taxi with her for me.

I donated 2 large bags of usable stuff to a local Kinder today.  A lot of knitting yarn (half a bag full!!), fabrics, pipe cleaners, ribbons and braids, all sorts of things.  There was even a bag of teddy bear dress ups.  Hopefully they will put it all to good use.

Now to finish cleaning up the craft room.  I have lots on the shelves - they're full - and still lots of bags beside the shelves.  Not sure if I want to only keep things like fabrics that are earmarked for a project or whether to just go thru all the fabrics and make 2 piles - 1 of those I like and 1 of those I don't like.  I have a friend who, as part of a quilting group, make quilts for a local hospital.  That's where the discards will be going.  I'm quite sure that even if I only kept the projects that were already together - those that are ready to be started - I would not get thru them all before I drop off the planet.  Mind you I have no intentions of doing that any time soon - I just have collected (and boy is that agood word for it) lots of kits.

Decisions, decisions.........
