I spent a great deal of yesterday outside. It actually reached 60 degrees here! Cleaned the chicken coup, drained water from the pool cover now that the ice is melting, pulled the old morning glory vines off the fence, planned a garden layout, chatted with a neighbor and even contemplating letting the dog go for a swim in the river – ended up crashing on the couch instead! Don’t feel bad about the dog – she went swimming in the water-logged pool cover so she got her dip in the water! It was an absolutely beautiful and rejuvenating day – don’t you just love those?!
So now that my energy is renewed from a busy month of teaching and and creating and grown children coming and going on top of the snow and dreariness, I have set goals for myself this week. Got to finish another Amish Star!!! Absolutely have to get the pattern completed! Just finished this one! Its in my gallery now – check out the daisy fill in the background there!
Meanwhile, back to my to-do list – another sample for Hand Applique by Machine, then perhaps another quilt waiting in the queue will get loaded on the long arm too! I’m not sure I can do it all by Friday but am going to try!
Got to work on getting plumbers in the house this week and I think I need another sample for my Machine Quilting class…. my husband says I need to get the oil changed in my car before the $10 coupon expires…And then there’s the big sale at Sauder’s Fabrics in Denver, Pa. It starts on Thursday…and I have money in my checking account. The week’s goals are growing exponentially as I sit here and contemplate them. I’m am probably better off just not thinking about it. I think I’ll go sew now.
