33* here this morning. Brrr!! And I'll be out walking in a short while. At least there's no rain! And we should be about 50* by this afternoon with a lot of 50-deg days coming up this week. But all the lows are still in the 30's. We leave in 2 weeks to go camping on the coast. It's usually a couple degrees warmer there but is generally much wetter. So I'm crossing my fingers!
Bathroom is coming along and yesterday we got the "fall-out" from this big project all cleaned up. Our house looks like a home again. Also got 4 loads of laundry done. Going into the new week in pretty good shape! My sore neck is improving and I made a little more progress on my DWR. It's going well and I'm enjoying the process a lot more than I thought I would!
TINA - I'm glad you got your books all organized. Are they in your sewing room or on a shelf in the living room? Or?? So good to have Jazmyne's help. I have a tight 3-ft row of books. I don't know if that's a lot compared to other quilters, or a few or just the right amount. And I just ordered another one - El's Attic Book. Going to have to squeeze it in somehow! In our bathroom, we didn't have to take the whole vanity back - just the top/sink unit. We like it's replacement much better plus it has the advantage of fitting the vanity! lol! You asked the size of my DWR. It's made in 16" square blocks. I'm thinking 4x5 setting. So, just about 60x75. If I make it bigger, then it would be 75x90. Still haven't made the decision yet. I guess I could even go 90x105 but that ain't happening!
BECCA - I talked to Kathy yesterday right after you did! I know she appreciated our calls. She's feeling discouraged at being so sick for so long, and now her DD, Kim, is in the hospital with a leg injury after falling twice in two days. I'm glad she's starting to knit again. Did you finish your last block? When your quilt is done, if you send me a photo I'll post it for you if you wish.
ROSEBUD - it's so hard to get "manly" chores done when you live alone. Before I married Bill, I finally found a handyman, made him a list, and he spent the day here. Such a relief to get things done, but it cost me.
LORI - It's Lent! Unmentionables have been OK'd for the duration. Enjoy! I know my kitty is! You are getting a lot of sewing in lately. It's so nice after years of working, to finally have time to sew isn't it!
JANA - I'm so happy Andrew got to go home with a quilt! When our Andrew was that age he expressed interest in learning to quilt, but we were never able to get together and his interest quickly died. A storm coming your way? Hmmm.... I bet it's the one we had in the past few days. Sorry about that.
Our supper last night morphed into chicken rice soup. I thought it was really good, but Bill wasn't too happy with it. It was a big pot and I put about 1/2 tsp dried, crushed rosemary in along with parsley, sage, and thyme. (Someone should write a song!
) Anyway, B doesn't like rosemary but I do (in moderation). I thought I could get away with just a smidge. Guess not. But it's probably our supper again tonite. He can suck it up (literally) or have Cheerios.
