I haven’t actually been at the Hall all day but it certainly feels like it.

I did some cleaning this morning before a noon meeting with a couple of other Board members. One of our Board has some health issues and we were sorting out how (and who) things would work in the time between now and our first full meeting with our new Board at the end of June. We worked out a few things and planned another session for tomorrow morning.

On my way home I stopped at the nursery and picked up a few flowers to plant on the front deck. Everyone at the Guild workshop were talking gardens so I guess I felt left out not planting this weekend. I got some marigolds and coleus planted as well as transplanting a plant we’ve had on the deck since last fall. There are still a few petunias and geraniums left and I’ll get to them tomorrow.

I was back at the Hall for a 4:30 opening. I arrived ten minutes early and the performers were just starting to unload their gear onto the deck. I’ll go back tonight for the show; I have to close after the event so I may as well attend it.

There is still a lot of work to do but I got further along than I expected I would and I liked the process a lot more than I expected. It is thanks though to our very creative teachers that it looks as good as it does.

I didn’t expect to like this Guild class as much as I am liking it. It was the second time around for the class this year so I thought it must be a technique I should know. It is easy enough to do although it involves a lot of work. And, of course, I picked probably the largest pattern in the series.

I didn’t expect to get as much done today as I did and that was a nice surprise. I have homework to do though so I’d better get at it.

I was on my feet almost all day and I’m really feeling it now that I’ve stopped. The good news though is once I do a bit of prep work the rest of the homework can be done sitting down.

Pat cooked fish for dinner last night and the house still stinks. I simmered lemons for an hour this morning and I thought it was better. I closed up the house to go to stitching this afternoon and when I came home it was just as bad as ever. I have all the doors open now but there is no breeze so I’m not sure it will help.

I finished the quilting on my project this morning. Aside from a few thread breaks it went well. I’ve picked out the binding and I will hopefully get at that on Sunday before I’m needed at the Hall.

I finished three blocks at stitching this afternoon – I still have eight to go but they are progressing. I’m much further behind Jessie and Gail; Gail wants to do a “different” binding so it is good she’ll get at that ahead of me and I’ll be able to see whether or not I want to do the same thing.

I was at my 100+ Women Who Care meeting tonight; it is a nice evening so I walked up and back. My choice didn’t win the vote (again) but they were all worthy presenters so I don’t mind too much.
