I’m not feeling much joy today – I’m not sure if I’m depressed or if the stormy weather has me fearing summer is over. Whatever the reason I’m not accomplishing a whole lot and I don’t really care.

I didn’t do any prepping for the bee tomorrow. I think we have a work session for our fall event so there probably won’t be a lot of sewing time and I already have two Celtic Crystal blocks prepared. I hate that I was put on the committee just because I offered to do the recipe book. Somehow volunteering for that put me on the committee and now I have to do all sorts of other things. Bummer!

Our new layout for my Blossom quilt bothered me all night – I just didn’t think it was going to work. I cut a couple more sashing pieces this morning and verified that it wouldn’t go together as planned. I can still make it work but it means cutting extra fabric and more sewing. Bummer!

I didn’t need to do much work for my cards. I cut out the templates for the last September card. Since Alex’s gift and card need to get in the mail tomorrow I made a quick trip out for his gift. When I got home I found a small box and got it wrapped and ready. That was when I realized I’d forgotten to take a photo. Bummer!

I was ready for more basting for I’m A Farmer’s Daughter and I got 60 more templates and fabric cut. It’s nice to have that ready for the evenings, but it is boring work.

In an attempt to improve my mood I’m going to do some cross stitching this afternoon (always relaxing for me) and I’ll look forward to knitting tonight (pretty mindless work).
