Cooler evenings thanks to Hurricane Dolly and part of another Saturday allowed dh to complete a file drawer unit.  All that is left is sanding and painting.

The other file cabinet still needs the drawers. 

It took him a long time to figure out the perfect dimensions to make the drawers work.  Then he got on a roll, and now he has to stop. The tools are put away, since we'll be away on vacation soon. 

Sooooooo, the wall unit is not done before school starts, as ahem, dh promised me!  I tease him about that and he laughs.  After the vacation the school room will soon be disassembled. We'll need to take out the old cabinets and make room for the new. I'll have to find a place to store the things in those cabinets now.  In the meantime, I am storing all of our curriculum for next school year in our bedroom.

I don't like to clutter our bedroom like this, but I don't trust it in the dc's rooms, I don't want to haul it downstairs, so that means our bedroom.  I need everything where I can find it to do lesson plans, assess for lessons, etc.  I even have our new microscope stored on my vanity.  

In the meantime, I've been busily sewing my heart out.  DD and I have our new summer wardrobes finally. DH has been hoping I'd clean out a large portion of the fabric stash closet.  I did manage to do that.  I also found some large pieces to sew duffel bags for dirty laundry on the trip.  They are color coordinated for whites, lights and darks.  If we are low on clothes, I can quickly throw a load into the laundry while we are on vacation. 

Then I packed up my sewing machine.  It is ready to go to the sewing machine store to get cleaned while I am away on vacation.  I do this yearly while on vacation.  Since I am always sewing with it, it always needs a cleaning and I can't bear to part with it.  Sending it to the shop is a good thing to do while I am away too.  It is particularly full of lint this year, from the medieval costumes I made!  Also the light bulb needs to be replaced (and I don't know how to do that), the automatic needle threader is busted, and the cord doesn't plug into the machine very well anymore.  My Pfaff has gotten a lot of mileage!
