I’ve been busy all day. While I waited for our Cran Hall president to stop by I started my laundry. Then I cleaned up the laundry room and broke down a few boxes for recycling. I cleaned up the back deck next; we’ve tended to store “crap” out there and it had started bugging me.

I knew there was some desk work to take care of today so I started with the smallest bit first. I’m helping out with membership this year so I got the list updated – people wander in on Tuesday’s to pay their dues and I’m trying hard to keep things up to date. Final day for renewal is the October meeting; after that there shouldn’t be many changes to the list.

Then I started work on the Cranberry Hall minutes. I have them finished for the most part but I like to take a day between typing them up and sending them out so my review of them is a little more thorough. There was a bank deposit to get ready, as well as a few cheques to get ready for the mail.

I started cutting out some fabric while I waited on another person to stop by for Hall business. I’ll take the Scottie Dog block to Texada with me tomorrow and, hopefully, have it ready for Tuesday. I cut out the final pieces for Deloise’s I’m a Farmer’s Daughter block and then watched a couple of videos on the best way to sew curves. And finally I’ve cut out all the pieces I’ll need for my November miniature – I want to include it in my “free” Canada Post package.

I’ll finish the binding on my last finished quilt tonight and maybe even get to some knitting.

When I arrived at the bee this morning there was a gift basket sitting on the corner of my table. We don’t actually have our own table but we all tend to gravitate to the same spot. I left the bag sitting as it was in the corner of four different tables and I didn’t want to presume.

Not very long into the morning I was told that the bag was for me for my birthday. It is was a lovely tin mug featuring quilt blocks using the Farm Girl Vintage fabric.

When I came up to my desk to write today’s blog I turned the leaf on my calendar and it is a 10″ Scottie dog block. Since the person who gave me the cup is a huge fan of Scotties I think I’ll make the block for her this week.

It’s been a pyjama day but it hasn’t been at all fun – I just never got around to getting dressed.

I spent all morning getting reports ready for the Cranberry Hall meeting tonight. Both the website and our Facebook page needed to be updated and some background information gathered for a couple of things we’ll be discussing tonight.

The entire afternoon was spent working out the membership list for the Guild – who has paid, who hasn’t paid and verifying and/or updating all the personal information for the members.

I just have enough time for a shower before heading out the door for the Board meeting.
