After a delicious lunch of roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, and zucchini patties, I was almost too full to carry on with the day.
However, Mary came over – do you like those spiders? We went to Quality’s Sew Fun because we wanted free tickets to the Sew Expo in November and that was the gift for coming.
And we rather liked this apron display.
The program consisted mostly of various handbags and a few table runners and potholders. So we decided to go shopping at JoAnn’s where we found some giraffe print fleece for Mary’s new grandson (arriving in Jan). So now she and I each have another project. She will be making stuffed giraffes and I will make baby a quilt.
How many times do we go out expecting to be back in an hour and it turns into 3 or 4 days? Exactly! And that’s what happened to us today. We went to look at some granite for the vanity top, which we didn’t find, then made a few more stops and before we knew it, the day was nearly gone. We bought a few more cases of water, so now if we get snowed in without power, we’ll be okay. However, I still need to get some 5 gallon containers of water for the animals.
I did get some cutting and sewing done. I decided to do the 2013 Homespun Hearth Super Bowl mystery quilt again since I liked it so much. It is all cut out now and with these 24 blocks sewn, I am at the half time mark for the flimsy. With tomorrow’s schedule, it may have to wait until Thursday.
The quilting is done. The binding is done, but I don’t have enough energy left to apply it. Maybe on Sunday. This is another quilt going to the 4H group to give a person displaced because of the eastern WA fires.
Tomorrow is another wonderful day of rest. It should give me the boost I need to get back some creative juices. Enjoy the day and we’ll meet again on Sunday
These 4 little raincoats just need little snaps down the front and they are done.
And you must be as tired of canning as I am. Today was 20 pints of split pea soup for DH. Often times, that is all he wants for his third meal. It makes life easier when he can just open a jar and heat the contents.
