Two Doll Blankets Sewn

 Yesterday was cloudy with the sun coming out mid afternoon. The high got to 13C. This morning it is raining and 10C. Today is supposed to be wet with a high of 12C.

Lifestyle

Yesterday morning was busy. I made a batch of cookies and cleaned the kitchen while they baked. Once they were done, I folded laundry and put it away. I also laundered the sheets and made my bed later in the afternoon. I also did month end on the balance sheet. It was another low spend month. I have saved enough to pay my taxes and insurance later this year. 

I was out in the garage to sweep up most of the sand that had come out of a broken bag and then wandered down the driveway to empty the two bags of sand. I poured them down the side of the ditch where it was needed. I put the empty bags into the recycling bags at the edge of the road. Our recycling and compost wasn't picked up until later in the afternoon. With that job done, it was noon. 

I was tired in the afternoon but forced myself to do things. If not, I will sit and sleep which interrupts my night sleep. Knowing why I am tired makes me keep moving. Moving makes me tired so I will sleep better at night. 

Sewing

I decided to make the two doll's blankets yesterday. I just take a fat quarter, cut the edges so they are straight, serge and hem. It is basically brain dead sewing. It is using up a fat quarter of flannel fabric. It had me off the couch and doing something. 

I did my math and I sewed 4.4 meters and bought 1 meter of fabric this month. I did better than I thought I had. 

I have not done my to-do list for May and need to work on that. I have some ideas in my head but will need to buy fabric for one project. 

Knitting

I did not knit last night. I haven't a clue what I want to knit at this time. I need to think of something for the dolls. 

Thoughts

    I was a bit sore yesterday due to the rain coming in. Not as bad as it usually is. More achy than painful. 

    I noticed that my lilies are popping up out of the ground so I need to clean them up. I will do that on the next sunny day. I will also prune the shrub at the front entry and the rose bush. 

    I am working hard at parking the stress in my life. Most of the stress is about things I can't control. I have to let them go and focus more on being supportive. It is hard to do but I have to realize my daughter is an adult and has to solve her problems on her own. 

Today

I am out this morning to make sandwiches. Once home, I wand to do some more cleaning in the garage. I have to pay bills, figure out my to do list for sewing and knitting and cook dinner for tonight. 

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