The roll of scotch tape that I had transferred over to an office dispenser and then promptly 'lost'/ misplaced. It was right on the table next to my sewing table that if I had stuck my left elbow over a couple of inches while facing my machine, I would have hit it. BUT that's not the tape I was using last week - that one is now 'missing'. It's such a silly thing, but I get so frustrated over not being able to find the tape when I want to - I used to have it all over the place, but haven't done that in recent years since we don't need it for wrapping birthday gifts or things like that. Tomorrow, while we're doing our grocery shopping, I'm going over to the office supply section and buying a minimum of SIX tape dispensers and going to put at least one on the dining room table where hubby will see it when he does his puzzles, eats his meals, or takes his meds/tests his blood sugar. Maybe I'll be able to keep track of that one!!
Ok, so you might be noticing that I'm not showing photos of whatever I've finished ( or at least been working on) for the past couple of days. That would be because I have none to show. This is the week for a couple of dr appts for hubby ( which blows my day) along with grocery shopping and bill paying tomorrow.
Yesterday was one dr appt - in Lansing at 11 am... I remembered to put charity quilts in the trunk of our car
so that we could drop them off after the appt. Then we went to Applebee's by the mall for our lunch ( we had $70 in gift cards and I wanted to use some up). I was a little leery about going since I've heard that they've changed their menus and I've heard the food isn't as good. Hubby had a sandwich - turkey, ham and two cheeses along with french fries that he said was good and I ordered the chicken-broccoli alfredo dish which was really pretty good - and there was plenty of it - enough to bring home for my dinner last night. I didn't care for the breadstick that came with it, but I didn't need the extra starch anyway.
Last night, I did tear the papers off the back of the Zebra 'block' ... I found a spot that I goofed on - not sure what I did, but it looks like the piece of fabric wasn't big enough for that particular spot...so I'll have to see how I can fix it before I go any further in finishing it.
Today, I pulled together the supplies I want to take with me to sew in this weekend. I'm just taking freezer paper, a pattern to trace onto the freezer paper, the scotch tape, a pair of scissors and a sharpie marker. It's a large pattern so it will take me awhile to do, but I'll also have plenty of time to gab with Barb and whoever else might show up.
I've been sitting here tonight waiting for a repairman to get here to re-light our hot water heater... he was supposed to be here before 11 PM... and call me twenty minutes before he's to arrive... it's now 10:30 and I've yet to hear anything from them. Which means I'll have to call them back and try to get them out here first thing since hubby has another dr appt again tomorrow.
Ok, I'm going to bed...
take care
