SUPPER CLUB - Friday, June 4th
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2021 1:36 am
Good early morning,
Well, I finally got all my sisters' Christmas things wrapped, packed, and stashed in the garage. Then I got all my new fabrics put away. After that I made my sew-along block and started cutting some background pieces for my Star Bright. And blessed Judi found some more of my background fabric on e-Bay, let me know, and we were able to snap up the last 1.5 yds. I hope that's enough but I fear I'm going to need another half-yard or make the quilt smaller than I was planning. This is the fabric I am running short of because of errors in the magazine pattern. It's a Maywood fabric, ultra white Solitaire 206, and it's called Winding Rope.
During the evening I also finished my fourth and last cross-stitched 6x8 seasonal retro trailer and got them all framed. Now to figure out where to hang them in our fifth-wheel. That project took me about 8 months to do. I will take a photo in better light and post it later. Now I think I'll start my Christmas picture of a red pickup with a tree in the back of it and a golden retriever and her puppies romping in the snow. It's my TV work.
The other day I started polishing the kitchen cabinetry so I will work more on that today and maybe get the floor mopped. We finally got a date for install of the new floor in the kitchen - July 6th. I was holding out, but I guess if it's still a month out, and I'm sticking to it when I walk, I best mop it. And I hope to have time to cut more little stars and maybe get a few sewn, too.
BECCA - glad you were able to get the car inspected. There is talk about doing away with inspections here because they are finding so few cars anymore that have a problem. It's not required next county over. Boy, grocery prices have really taken a hike, haven't they. For that chunk of change you left at the store, you probably brought back fewer bags than you did a year ago.
TINA - painting the house is a BIG job! I sure don't envy you that chore. Especially in the heat. Are you using a sprayer over the larger surfaces? The winds must have died down for now.
JANA - glad you can now sew - if you want to. Is there a projected completion date to this project? And do you have another project waiting in the wings? Seems to be project season, doesn't it. Bill has circled back to our deck stairway, sanding the rail. I think/hope he'll stain it today.
My supper plan for tonite is leftover pizza. Unless 'someone' gets into it for his lunch. And I think I'll put beans to soak for chili for the weekend. Going to rain on Saturday and get really stormy on Sunday. I think a pot of chili will be a welcome meal.
Have you got some ideas for your supper tonite? Sometimes when I see what tasty things y'all are cooking up, I change my mind!
