Progress On The Pyjama Top

 Yesterday started out cloudy, was sunny, and ended up cloudy and windy. The high got to 29C (humidex 32C). This morning it is sunshine with some clouds and 15C. Today is supposed to be mix of sun and clouds with a high of 24C (humidex 27C).

Lifestyle

I spent some time outside watering all the plants. Everything is growing well and very healthy. Though not a lot of variety, I am hoping that we can enjoy what I chose to grow. I know we will have lots of onions for this winter. 

I fiddled with my fridge giving it a hard reset. The temperature is sitting at 50F and what I have in the fridge has ice packs around it to keep it cool. I have to decide if I will keep this fridge or buy a new one. 

I took a table over to family's for the bbq last night. I also delivered the devilled eggs for them to have. After lunch I went to the hall to help put handles on the kitchen cupboards. I am going to get a quote for the company to come and finish painting upstairs. I may try to paint the parts I can do but have them paint above the cupboards and maybe the cupboards. I can go over on Sunday to talk to them. 

The bbq was a great success. A lot of good food including some Greek desserts. The potato salad was devoured and got great reviews. I enjoyed the Caesar salad, some vegetables, fresh fruit and a piece of cake for dessert. After putting away items into the fridge and talking for a bit longer, I was home by 9 pm. 

I sat and talked to one of the boys whom I had met at son's birthday party. He is going to start a 4 year program to become a pharmacist (phd program). He is so excited and we had a great discussion on the topic. 

Sewing

After watching how to add the binding around the neck and finishing off the ends, I went down and worked on the pyjama top. I got the bias binding around the neck and looked at the amount of pins I had in it. I chose to hand baste it down. It went on beautifully. I worked on getting the bottom of the binding finished like she did and it is okay. I used fray check so one bit won't fray on me. 

It is now ready for me to hand stitch the binding in place. 

Daughter bought more panels and fabric for more quilts and aprons. I will be making flying geese for a couple of years as I work through the fabric she got. It will be interesting to see what I can come up with. I have several ideas in my head already. 

Knitting

None last night as I got home late. 

Thoughts

    I enjoyed the bbq last night. Family's back yard is wonderful to host these events. They did a great job of designing it for entertaining larger groups. It is also wonderful for having family dinners in the summer. They are also wonderful hosts. 

    I am out 3 days next week. I have physio on Wednesday and I may be discharged. I think I have progressed as far as I will go and may only need to go in if I have an issue. The other 2 days are making sandwiches, a meeting, and working a bar with daughter-in-law. There are days at home so I can do things on own. I do have to water the plants as we are going to have 2 hot days next week. 

Today

I am home all day. I have to do laundry and clean more kitchen cupboards. I want to try and finish the pyjama top this afternoon and knit tonight. I am looking forward to having a quiet day.

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