Sunday, the day of rest?

5:30  wakey wakey ... not sure why but not sleeping well (again) ... laundry in ....
         a bit of tidying and crochet amid the treks to the clothes lines
         clean clothes put away, bed made -- looked at the Bernina
         did a spot of mending
         piled up the trash for the trek to town and the curbies.
9:30 4 loads of laundry done, dishes done, body rework attempted....
9:45  at the office ... projects await me
               yes, I WORK WEEKENDS.  I must with the Commissioner schedule.
2:00  head for home

2:35  pick a load of pumpkins
3:15  set up the pallet system in the back machine shed

8:30  plan of attack for the busy week ahead

     I am so anal -- my plan of attack is a detailed listing of clothes I'm going to wear (literally in piles or on hangers to go) ... a detailed calendar of meetings, projects and weekly deadlines.  Ya, I'm anal.

     Heat advisories have already been issued for tomorrow ... a full 24 hours in advance.  This hot humid weather crap is the pits.  I need fall.  Now. 

     Happy rest of the week.

I couldn't share this until today -- I quilted this queen sized 'Trip Around the World' for some family friends to use as a wedding gift  .... It was the largest quilt I had attempted ... and

 

I had 4 days to do it in ... Cyndi and Jordan assisted in extending the long arm ... now it really takes up a lot of room and then the loading, oh the loading -- loading took almost 2 hours ... but the stitching ... 2 1/2 hours tops ... Corrine had bought some varigated thread that was beautiful, sewed up like a dream ... then when I was done, she had to bind and finish it off!

 

 

I had it done before the Labor Day weekend so she could finish it and gift it this weekend to the lucky bride and groom ...
