Satifying My Fantasy Self

 Yesterday was hot and sunny with a high of 28C. There was not humidex as the relative humidity was at 26%. This morning it is mainly sunny and 13C. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 25C.

Lifestyle

Yesterday was another busy day for me. I did some cleaning in the bathroom and out to do some running around for daughter-in-law. I forced myself to rest and do some planning of what I want to sew later on. 

Mid afternoon I was to the hall to start peeling potatoes and was on my feet a lot until 7 pm. I helped dish up the dinner and did clean up -- aka washing the pots. I also made sure the kitchen was spotless when I left. 

From the hall I went to my friends to do a delivery and we sat and talked. We had some good laughs and she has had a few problems. Nothing disastrous but enough to have her on the phone getting clarification. I got home late and was really sore. I took Tylenol, sat for a while and went to bed. I did sleep in this morning. 

Sewing

My play planning is to make daughter some items for the living quarters of her horse trailer. She desperately needs more storage which she will do over time. Things like shelves in the lower cupboards towel racks, etc. My ideas started with a hand towel and these two fat quarters. 

I am going to make her 3 jar toppers which I have a pattern and video to watch on how to make them. I will buy her 3 jars so she can put her coffee and what ever else she wants in them. I want to buy some fabric to go with these two as I only have a fat quarter of each. I also want to make her pot holders, jar sleeves, and a mug rug. I want to get another tea towel, some 3 M hooks and maybe some S hooks. I will put it all into a basket for her. I may repeat this idea with two more tea towels and 2 different fabrics for her house. 

I did work on the bag yesterday. I carefully measured the lines for the bottom of the bag (1" apart) and quilted it. I carefully folded the bag in half and cut out the squares to box the bottom. I sewed on the binding which was a success. When I turned it over to sew down, I was not happy with the results. I ripped it out and will hand sew it down today. I have to as my OCD kicked in. 

Knitting

No knitting last night. 

Thoughts

    It was nice to have warmer weather. I have been watching the tomatoes to make sure they have shade. They did well yesterday and I kept them outside overnight. They have been watered and are ready for today's lovely weather. 

    I ate well again yesterday and I think I got enough protein. I have not eaten any foods that bother my joints or are triggers to binge eat. I am loosing weight and will soon be at my first mini goal. I am trying to move more each day as I know it is good for my joints and muscles. 

    It was fun planning items to make for daughter. It satisfied my fantasy self as these are items I wanted to make for craft bazaars. Now I can make them and not have to do a craft bazaar. Win, win. 

Today

My plan is to get the planters onto the deck so I can plant peppers tonight. I am hoping to do a bit of cleaning downstairs this morning. This afternoon I will work on the bag and I hope to knit tonight. A quiet day for me.
