Sunday and Monday were nap days for me for some reason - two naps on Sunday and a three hour one on Monday. Got a little sewing done, but not much.
Tuesday, some of us in the guild went over to Dee's home to purchase some of her fabrics that her daughters were trying to 'do something with' after her passing. I was only going to buy for our Charity quilts stash and look for some batiks for my cousin, Cathy, who couldn't make it that day. I scored big on fabrics for the charity quilt stash and found some nice batiks for Cathy... AND, found some fabrics and patterns that I couldn't resist purchasing for myself. I was also 'gifted' with quilting stencils ( originally for hand quilters but will work with my long arm quilting).
Wed ( yesterday), I had to go in for annual mammogram and my first bone density test ( getting old ain't easy). Came home and worked on & completed another Christmas gift.
That's how I'm working right now... with the goal of completing one project a day. I was up at 5 this morning, by 6:00, I was working on today's goal... had it completed in a couple of hours.
Some time in the last week, my original laptop's keyboard stopped working - infact, it was the last time I tried blogging. I spent the next day or two trying to get this new laptop figured out and loaded with whatever I needed ( like pics from my camera). The day before yesterday, I turned the old laptop on - and what do you know... the keyboard is working again - so I've been transferring my files ( pics, documents) over to cds so I won't get caught unprepared if the keyboard goes out again.
I have not worked on my Brown Bag Challenge in the last few days and really need to get back to it.
The deadline is quickly approaching. I figured out that it's not going to make itself, darn it.
Guild meeting tonight... taking sympathy card for Gary's family in for other members to sign before we mail it off, along with money we pooled together, on the way home. I'll probably stop at Walmart for groceries, too.
Tomorrow will be bath day for our
Buddy with plans on taking him to a birthday party at his favorite pet supply store.
Saturday, hubby and I have a 'date'. I bought us tickets to take a fall color tour via train. I don't think we're going to see much color - trees are still pretty green, but I'm sure we'll enjoy it anyway. We have seats in the caboose of an old fashioned steam train. From what I understand, we'll be riding for an hour then get off for cider and donuts before returning to where we started.
MAYBE Sunday I can spend the entire day working on the Brown Bag Challenge.... and it probably will require another full day after that - LOTS of small pieces in the two borders - what was I thinking!?!?! :)
