Fabric Fast Broken

 Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 16C. This morning it is cloudy and 6C. Today is supposed to be cloudy with showers with a high of 16C. 

Lifestyle

My plans changed on a dime. I went with a friend to Avonport as she wanted to take part in the Shop Hop that is happening. We were gone most of the morning. 

I was out in the late afternoon to buy groceries and it wasn't too busy. As I drive, I see more daffodils are blooming which is nice. These are at my neighbours and are pale yellow. I can see them from my house which is nice. 

They have the most daffodils in our area with more in the front and lots in the back yard. The bulbs were imported from Holland. 

Sewing

I bought this fabric at the quilt shop. I plan on making a couple of gift bags out of it. One is for a friend and the other I will sell. It was in the sale bin and I got an extra 10% off due to the Shop Hop. I also bought a new rotary blade for my cutter. 

In the afternoon, I hand sewed the binding down on the hot pad and put it away. I will have to put a ribbon around it later on. 

I am now ready to start cutting out the next projects so I can spend time sewing. 

Knitting

I finished knitting the leg on sock #1. It was slower going as my left hand wanted to cramp up. I had to rest it so I could finish it.

After more resting, I cast on the second sock and got 2 rounds done on it. 

I can now knit on it in the evenings until I have the leg done. I then have to move stitches so I can do the heel flap on both socks. 

Thoughts

    It was nice to be out with my friend to shop. I wasn't going to buy fabric but the piece caught my eye and I knew I could sew it up quickly. I also needed the rotary cutter blade as mine is quite dull. Back to fabric fasting once again. I have sewn 3 times more fabric than I have bought at this time so am doing well. I will be happy when all the fabric I have bought this year is sewn up. 

    We are supposed to get rain and high winds tonight. There is a storm coming in and we could get about 3/4" of rain. As it is supposed to be warm all night, everything is going to grow rapidly for a few days. Hopefully the leaves will show green on the trees. 

Today

I am out shortly to make sandwiches. When I get home I need to do some laundry and a bit of housework. I want to cut out projects this afternoon. I want to knit on the socks tonight. It will basically be an at home day for me. 

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