The meeting went pretty well last night, I'm still mulling over the idea of taking on the job (Helping Hands coordinator for those of you still catching up). It's a lot of work, and more responsibility, but I think I can do it well. I want to give my answer Sunday. Right now I'm leaning towards doing it. For awhile this morning I was thinking I could just give them my database and that would put them ahead of where they are now. Anybody could run that. However, I have some other input on things that could make this ministry run smoother, and I'd like to be given a chance to try them out. I'm not a leader by any stretch of the imagination, but I am an excellent delegator (just ask the Russian ;) ).
So I'm almost through serging the last coolties out of the 39 yards of fabric I bought. I'm planning on these being the last coolties I make this year, but why am I feeling guilty about this? I've made almost 1000 of them so far, that's pretty good I think, but I know the need is so great it's just a drop in the bucket. I'd like to take a break and do some quilting and finish up my summer wardrobe, but I think once again that's going to get put on hold while I finish these up. Then I need to get started on fleece hats and scarves, so I'm not scrambling at Christmas to get as many done as possible. Ugh.
In other news, I learned something new about my serger last night. It was giving me some puckering, and since the tension is self-adjusting that just didn't seem right. I finally looked up my notes from the class on it and remembered that anytime you think you have a tension issue, check the needles. I changed them and sho 'nuf, that fixed the problem. Color me a believer.
Ok, going home to finish up cool ties and load up extra darkroom equipment to sell at the youth auction Saturday. Yay! Finally that stuff can go to a good home. And there's no reason on earth I need 7 enlargers, right? 4 should be plenty...:)
