Although there were errands I could have done today I chose to leave them all and spend the entire day at home.

I spent all morning going through some files on my computer. That led to some updates to my website, as well as getting pages ready for my Project Book. I’m so glad Stacia got me started doing those pages. I don’t have a colour printer anymore so I create pages as PDFs and have them printed at Staples. I hadn’t done a printing update since March last year so I decided to send my order in rather than go to the store and print the pages myself. They were ready earlier this afternoon but, as I said, I decided I wasn’t going out.

I thought I might get everything set up out on the deck and sandwich a quilt but when I stuck my nose out the door it felt cold so I decided that task could wait for a nicer day. I planned to spray baste the sandwich (before adding the pins) and I wasn’t sure how things would stick in the colder (and damp) weather. It is raining now so perhaps it was just as well I didn’t get started.

There were no shortage of other things to do. I have a miniature meeting at the Guild on Tuesday and my project was barely started. I’m using a different technique in order to get a certain look that I want – with one row finished I’m not sure the look is going to be right but there is no way I’m going to start over. Think miniature – half inch squares in some spots!
