It is much cooler today (with a few spits of rain every now and again) so I’m able to work comfortably in my sewing space. I did a bit of work outside this morning while the restoration folks were here working. I have what I call a “potting table” but it was pretty much buried in junk and empty plant pots. We thought we might use one of the cabinets from the basement to replace the table but I think we’ll try to sell it instead. I really don’t need a potting table and it would be nice to clean out that corner of the yard. I also got a bit of knitting done while I waited, so my morning wasn’t entirely wasted.

But this afternoon I was pleased to get back to some sewing. I have a hexi basted and pressed and I’ll get it attached to the “mother ship” when I wait tomorrow on the restoration work. I have the instructions for the next hexagon so I should get that drawn out and then I can also work on that while I wait.

The masks I made for Taylor were too small so I cut out more today; I only made up one of them and have it ready for the mail tomorrow. Before I make half-a-dozen I want to make sure they fit this time. I also have a bit more work done on the birthday gift.

I started this week’s clue in my stitch-along but there is still work left to do. Because it is much cooler I won’t have to sit under the fan at the end of the day and I’ll be able to work in the studio much later. There is no shortage of things I can be working on.

The Guild program was sent out to the committee today and I’m in charge of the Mystery Quilt this year. That came as no surprise but what I realized was that I’ll have to make the quilt ahead of time and possibly take some photos along the way. I hadn’t thought of that when I volunteered!

Back to it now!
