Between now and Sunday I have several meetings to attend and write reports for. The first one is a regular Cranberry Hall board meeting tonight.

I started my day out in the yard; Pat had an appointment this morning so I was left unsupervised. I had a corner of the yard that I was determined to get weeded but also determined not to spend too much extra time at it. I started early but finished up right at 11 AM which was the plan. After a shower I sat outside with my coffee and read a couple more of my quilting magazines. It seems odd to me that the patterns I marked at the time I got the magazine don’t necessarily appeal to me any longer; these first two magazines had Sunbonnet Sue and Joe in them and I think I have enough of those patterns in other books. However, I marked a couple of articles that I didn’t even notice before; one on needle-turn appliqué and one on quilting patterns using circles; those ideas will work well with my rulers.

Before stopping for lunch I finished up the reports for my meeting tonight. There was a message on the phone from when I was in the shower and I hadn’t noticed it. The fabric shop was calling to tell me I had some patterns in. I stopped in after lunch and I also had a $25 reward card waiting for me – I won’t tell you how much I spent in order to get that reward. What to do but bring home another lovely pattern book full of skinny wall hangings. I also found some lovely fabric in the 50% off bin.

I’ve been working on a cross-stitched card this afternoon and I’ll continue with that until it is time to head out to our meeting.

Today was moving day for the Guild and, since I needed to be available at several different times, I didn’t go to the bee. I started my day at my computer working on the Guild’s library listing. I didn’t quite get that job done before I had to head to the Senior Centre to help pack up the library; that was a quick job so I helped packed up the other two storage cabinets. We finished about 11:30 but the movers weren’t expected until one so I came home for lunch.

In the little bit of time I had I started work on my reports for the Guild’s AGM, which is on Thursday night. Before finishing it was time to head out to our new meeting location to help unpack. We don’t have any library shelves yet so the books remain in boxes, stacked two deep. I helped unpack the many boxes that came out of the other storage cabinets and we got everything put in place by about 2:30 PM.

I’ve finished up the library listings, my Guild AGM reports are started and will just need a review on Thursday before the meeting. For the rest of the afternoon I’m going to get busy on my Cranberry Hall reports – one for the AGM and one for our regular monthly meeting.
