It hasn’t been a fun day but I accomplished a lot.
It’s movie night for me tonight!
I’ve lost count of the number of shawls I’ve made with this pattern. It may be boring to work on, but it is perfect for textured yard. I’m happy to have a place to donate it; it has already gone to the church and it didn’t sit long (if at all) in their donation bin.

You’ve heard the saying … Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ’til tomorrow. I had been waiting for tomorrow for far too long so I spent a good part of yesterday (Monday) cleaning and scrubbing and doing laundry. It was a nice day so when I had to go out to the post office and the library I chose to walk. When I got back home it was time to get ready for my evening meeting.
Today I was back at the sewing bee – working on cards again. I took my Seminole quilt to show the ladies and a couple said that I had inspired them to finish theirs. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who put off working on it. I took along some binding that I was going to get ready for a donation quilt but I’m glad I didn’t have time to get to it because I remembered I had another fabric that might look better with the two sides of the quilt.
I had a lot of errands to run after quilting today. There were visits to both the bottle depot and the recycle depot as a result of cleaning the laundry room. I have been collecting items for the thrift shop for a couple of months and dropped them off today. I had some wool I planned to give to a friend who lives in Cranberry but I was lucky enough to see his partner at the thrift store so I gave it to him and saved myself a trip. I had medications to pick up, a receipt to drop off for the Hall, and a photo I needed to take of an acknowledgement plaque that we are going to more or less copy for the Hall. I had time to stop and pick up some new soaps from my favourite soap maker as I gave my last one away as a gift at the bee this morning.
I’d like to sit and do nothing (or at least sit and play games) but I still have the Guild blog to write and there is a lot of work from last night’s Hall meeting that needs to be done. But no more cleaning and scrubbing until at least tomorrow.

I usually try to find either a butterfly pattern or fabric that has butterflies for Kristin’s card. I was sure I had some purple fabric with butterflies but when the time came to make a card it was nowhere to be found.
This card seemed to be an appropriate second choice given Kristin’s career.
Happy Birthday Kristin.
