Since my iPad is of little use these days I bring my first cup of coffee upstairs to my computer. I paid some bills, sorted out my December UFO project and got my 2021 UFO list completed. Most of the projects came from my 2020 UFO list but I did complete a few tasks during the year.

I wanted particularly to go to the post office first thing but since I needed some pineapple for my carrot cake I did a little grocery shopping first. Apparently everyone else had the post office idea as when I got there at about 8:35 (after shopping) there was already a line-up outside. I’ll try again later this afternoon just before closing time.

I finished getting all my cards ready for the mail – no letters inside mind you but it is still a big task finished. I ended up with three extra cards and two extra stamps so my calculations were pretty good. I think it’s too early to mail them but Pat doesn’t so I’ll throw them in the letter box when I’m out.

My carrot cake is out of the oven and cooling. While I waited for it to bake I started taking apart one of Pat’s masks; he thought it was an old one but I hadn’t taken out many stitches before realizing that it was already three layers. I’ll have to stitch it closed again.

My next thought was that I would work on my Guild mystery quilt. The next clue comes out on Thursday but I’m working quite a bit ahead. The first seam I did was wrong so I’ll have to do some reverse stitching before moving forward. Pat has an online event tonight so I can spend some time sewing until he is finished.

I set my ripper and Pat’s mask down somewhere and once I find them I can start that reverse stitching.
