Doll Quilt Top Is Completed

 Yesterday was sunny and warm with a high of 12C. This morning it is cloudy and 5C. Today is suppose to be cloudy, windy and damp with a high of 16C. 

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning I had to make dinner buns so I got them started. While they proofed in the oven, I went to vote. It was the first day of advance voting so I thought it would be quiet. No so. I was gone for just over an hour due to the big number of people who were voting. There were about 20 people waiting to vote and people were coming in all the time. 

Once home, I continued work on the buns. The dough had risen to the top of the bowl so I was able to cut the dough into piece, weigh them, and shape them. They rose again and then were cooked. I am pleased with them. 

I was over to visit my friend later in the afternoon. She has been as unenergetic as I have been. She has been wondering why so we sat and went through what could be causing it. For both of us it was the long winter and cold grey spring we have had. Her house gets less sun in it than mine and two windows face north. The world economic situation and our federal election has also affected both of us. For her, she has been out less to her groups and that has been hard on her. Once we got it figured out, we both felt a bit better. 

Sewing

I finished the top of the doll's quilt yesterday. I love how cheerful it is. 

I have enough of the pink to do the backing and the yellow to do the binding. What is left over will either be made into piping or donated to my friend's quilting group. 

Knitting

I did get 21 rounds knit on the socks last night. They are showing their personality now. 

Hopefully they will be done by the end of next week. 

Thoughts

    I was surprised that there were so many people out voting on the first day of the advanced polls. Normally it is quiet. A person I know who lives in BC said it was busy where she had to vote. When my friend went to vote at 5 pm it wasn't very busy as she was gone a very short time. 

    Yesterday I was stressed when I went down stairs to get something. I was at the end of my tether with the clean up of the basement. I wanted to put everything into the trash and get rid of it. Empty the basement. I had to stop myself from doing it. I realize that I need to make some more big decisions in the downstairs. It is still beyond my clutter and stress threshold. I need to take action rather than procrastinate. 

    I opened one of the living room curtains this morning and the curtain rod came out of the wall. I need to put it up higher and think about replacing the drapes with blinds. That curtain rod has been loose for years but it has never popped off the wall before. 

Today

I have to make another batch of buns today. I also have to put the curtain rod back up temporarily as the sun comes in that window in the late afternoon. I would like to work on the doll's quilt and knit. I also have to deliver Easter chocolate to grandson. 

Until the next time........................................................................
