I didn’t get caught with any spoofs today, and I didn’t play any on anyone. And I wasn’t on Facebook much so I didn’t even see any of the spoof attempts that might have been made.

We had a great weekend at the studio – the weather was fabulous and I was able to get out for a walk on Friday; Pat and I did a new hike on Saturday and it is one we’ll go back to. I didn’t get a lot of cross stitching done because I took a really good book and a really relaxing knitting project with me. I managed a few stitches though.

I’ve been at my computer since I got home and I still have a lot of work to do. Most of it now involves getting projects sorted out for my Tuesday and Thursday sewing sessions.

My Tuesday project last month was one of my UFO Challenges – Splendid Sampler 2 blocks. I’ll be using these for cards in the future so they may show up in your mailbox sometime.

My Thursday project was also one of my UFO Challenges. This is a mystery quilt so I’m not certain how it all goes together. So far I’m liking it.

I’ve got two new UFOs picked for April; I’ll have to dig the first one out tonight so it’ll be ready to go tomorrow.

We’re all set for the show tonight at the Hall. I peeled potatoes and Pat put together the Shepherd’s Pie for dinner. He’s at the Hall right now getting everything set up and the LynneS will meet him there for a sound check before coming home for supper. They like to eat both before and after the show so Pat made an extra pan of the pie.

I spent the morning quilting some birthday cards so they can get in the mail tomorrow. It helped having the card tops done but it still takes some time to get everything put together.

I’ll do some tidying up and, if I’m lucky, there will time to tackle some of my Hall paperwork.

It was a long Board meeting last night and I ended up with a few extra items on my to-do list. I guess I must be feeling refreshed as I’m actually looking forward to some of it. We’ll be busy planning for our AGM in May but it looks like we might already have someone to take over the Hall bookings. No wonder I was feeling giddy.

I was off to the bee this morning before our guests were up and about. This was my last day to work on one of my March UFO challenges and I’m pleased with my progress. I wouldn’t have had much to show had I not finished three blocks today. The ones that I have packaged up will go into my Retreat bin and I’ll finish them off there.

I’m not sure what I’ll be up to this evening. The Lynne that is still here is quite content to relax on her own so I’ll probably catch up on some Hall work and get a few birthday gifts ready for the mail. I’m hoping to go across to Texada on Friday and these gifts should have been in the mail last week.

No matter how caught up I am on one thing I’m behind on something else.

Our guests will be arriving any moment now so this will have to be quick. Pat and one of the performers has a concert on Texada tomorrow night and then both of our guests will be performing at Cranberry Hall on Wednesday. A little longer stay than usual but the work before and after is just the same.

We were out the door before seven this morning; Pat and I both were overdue for some blood work at the hospital. On the way home Pat intended to get the groceries but we were too early – the store wasn’t even open yet.

I had a bit more work than I was expecting to prepare for the Board meeting tonight. I forgot that at the last meeting I added Budget to the agenda. I had to prepare a few more financial reports than normal but they are all done.

I’m not sure what my time will be like in the next few days. I plan to go sewing tomorrow and I’ve prepared four more of my Splendid Sampler blocks. This is the last week to get a few done before I have to check in with the UFO Challenge for the month.
