Last week it seemed like all I could manage was the work on the book shelves. I had promised myself that I would work on the basement over the week end, but that didn't happen. I did knit all day Saturday.
On Sunday the city turned 100, and so I got out to see the parade and festivities. Both were highly underwhelming and the small town atmosphere really set in. It was sad to see this so poorly supported. On top of that, there were an amazing amount of bugs and I got bitten to the point of hives.
Monday it was back to quilters finally. I was welcomed easily and I'm glad to have a space to set up for cutting and laying out larger quilts. I got most of the fabric cut for a quilt that had been part of a swap years ago, and I started a star afghan.
Once I got home, I actually had the energy to continue working, and started another spring runner for stock. I found some great blues and yellows in my stash and cut them for a quick log cabin. I also washed the fabric for a couple of aprons for stock and put away for Christmas as well.
Frogs is sashed and ready for quilting, and Logs will be sashed the next time I sew.
In the meantime we are getting ready for the city wide garage sale this week end. It is now that I really wish I had gotten the basement done, because everything I had moved out of the way is now in the way of where we need to get things out of the basement. I am hoping that the guy that mows the lawn for me will give me a hand tomorrow and get the floor and rugs down.
My farm box is still almost all greens, and actually I'm getting over loaded with the amount of spinach and chard, I'm thinking I need to find a way to freeze some of it to use in soups this winter.
I need to be making up stock for craft fairs. My goal is to be ready for Falling Leaves. I also need to finish the three quilt orders that I have and get going on my never ending list of things to get done. It just never stops and I am not getting enough done every week. After this week, things should slow down enough that I can devote some real time to each project and get them all marked off the list by the end of the year. Now that is a huge goal to meet
