The Gusset Is Done - Again

 Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 13C. This morning it is sunny and 5C. We are to have mainly sun with a high of 16C.

Lifestyle

I was stiff and a bit sore yesterday and decided to see if yoga would help. I did all the exercises and noticed as I did each one, I was less stiff. As I was doing the last exercise, I had a good crack as the SI joint seated itself. When done the exercise, I rolled over and did one more move that really stretches the lower back. 

Once done yoga, I set about cleaning the the stairs to the landing and basement. It allowed me to stretch more while I cleaned. It paid off as that area is clean and I had very little pain all day. 

Laundry was done; bedding this time. I have white sheets and duvet (old, old) and have been keeping the sheet very white. The duvet has slowly been getting whiter and yesterday it was the best I've seen it in years. The water in Dawson Creek yellowed it. Oxiclean with revive has been doing its magic on the duvet all winter. I really need to find a cover for it now that I know it is really clean. 

I did do the balance sheet without a printed copy of the bank statement. Two entries and I was done. No issues and I am on track for the month.

After lunch I went to New Minas. The traffic going into the area was heavy. People were coming home from Wolfville and area from lunch at the different wineries. All put on special lunches/brunches for Mother's Day. I went to get a few items from the Dollar Tree and ink for the printer. I got a new printer. I will get the ink for the old one and keep it. Grandson may want it for university. The drive home on the main highway was good so I was either going with the traffic or the rush was over. 

I have been worrying about the ice maker in the fridge. The ice seems to freeze up easily. I bagged it, cleaned the holder, and put it back into the fridge. I have ice again today to put into bags. We can use it this summer. 

Sewing

I spent time cleaning off the cutting table, sweeping the floor, and finding the pattern for doll shoes. Once that was done, I swept the family room floor and it was time to make dinner. I am ready to sew new items; bodices and shoes. 

I printed off a dress pattern I want to make. 

My old printer printed the pattern using a ton of black in with white lines. My new printer did the same thing. When I switched to print in colour, it worked fine. Something is going wrong in Adobe Reader. I now have the pattern printed ready to tape the pieces together. I have had the fabric (black and white print) and lace for the collar for years. I also have a stripe fabric if I want to make a second one. 

Knitting

I did knit last night and got the gusset done on sock #1. I am back to where I was when I found my mistake. 

These socks are very soft and the yarn is lovely to knit. I am hoping to have them done by the end of the month so I can start another pair. I want to buy more yarn near the end of June to make more socks. I am starting Christmas sock knitting when I start the next pair. I have 3 pairs to make for Christmas this year. I am starting early.

Today

I am doing yoga this morning and I have to get my medications. I need to do a bit of housework and some cleaning in the garage. I would like to sew this afternoon and knit tonight. All plans could go out the window as I am not sure what day family is coming over with their items for the yard sale. 

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