Lifestyle
Yesterday we headed to the fair and was at the beef barn by 11:00. The Spousal Unit wanted to let them know he was around to help. We left after a short talk and walked across the grounds to get lunch.When it was time for him to go to help, I stopped and talked to Nova Scotia Power about buying power during the night, weekends, and holidays at 50% off. We will be getting that assessed in the near future. We are on track for being power conscious.
I went to the arena to watch the horse events and knit. I left early as it was too quiet and very boring for me. I don't understand a thing about the jumper/hunter event. I wandered to the beef barn to see how the Spousal Unit was doing (he was bored but doing okay) so I went over to our favorite seating area and visited with people and knit. I met a lady who loves genealogy as much as I do.
I love to attend the dog show and took it in. One of the dogs doing the course was a try-colored Britany Spaniel. He was a delight and a true Britany. He saw his friend over at the arena and took off to see him not finishing his course.
We have decided to only do one day of the second weekend next year -- Sunday as there is oxen pulls. The events we like are on the first weekend so will attend the two days of the first weekend (Friday and Saturday).
Sewing
I traced two doll patterns for drawers yesterday morning. I now need to add 1/4" to the seam allowances for french seams. Both are historically correct; one being earlier than the other. I will be photographing the progress as I'm very interested in making them.Knitting
I don't have many rows left until I will be joining the scarf into the round. The pattern is Escarpment Cowl and is free on Ravelry. A couple of nights of knitting will probably have it done.Today
It is housework this morning with a couple of loads of laundry and sewing this afternoon. An easy day after being so tired from the fair yesterday.Until the next time.................................
