Progress On The Quilt

 Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 24C (humidex 27C). This morning it is cloudy, damp, and 16C. Today is supposed to be mainly cloudy with a high of 20C (humidex 25C). 

Lifestyle

It was back to the bathroom to continue cleaning. I got all the walls washed plus the two doors. Then it was into the linen closet to clean and purge it. Items were removed to be donated and items placed on a shelf for the SPCA. One item was put into the garage for the garage sale. The linen closet floor was scrubbed. I was done and really sore thanks to the air pressure going down. All that is left is to scrub the shower and the floor. 

I spent a lot of time trying to ease the pain I was having in my knees and hip and nothing worked. I lived with it pushing on to get things done. 

On my way out to get dinner, I noticed the weeds in the ditch were cut. I looked around and my neighbour's oldest son was weed eating it. My friend, his grandmother, had told him to get over and do it. He actually did a good job of the ditch. I paid him for the job as I had planned to. I think he enjoyed doing it as he was in a good mood. 

I helped daughter-in-law at the hall last night. The curtains were hung and then we set up for a large celebration of life after we did some mopping of the floor and vacuuming of rugs. We were both hot from getting so much done last night as we can't help with sandwiches today. 

After finishing at the hall, daughter-in-law and I planned our trip. We will be going to a yarn shop and having lunch in Moncton, New Brunswick. From there, we will be travelling around the coast to Cape Tormenting where we will cross the bridge to PEI. We will head for Charolettetown where we will do some snoop shopping and have dinner. We will also snoop shop the next morning and have a seafood lunch before heading down to Woody Point to catch the ferry back to Nova Scotia. I am looking forward to this trip. 

Sewing

I did spend the afternoon in the sewing room and finished up the squares for the quilt. I also cut the big squares and laid the quilt on the floor. 

It has turned out better than I thought it would. I have started to sew the blocks in each row together and did get two done. I will finish sewing the rows and then cut and make enough blocks to make it longer. If I still have enough fabric, I will make it wider. I am thinking 60 x 80" with the maximum size being 80 x 80".

Knitting

None done last night as I was out. 

Thoughts

    The soreness I had yesterday was an annoyance. I really wanted to sit but knew I couldn't. It did help moving but I was in a lot of pain all day. I am learning I can't just sit as it does make it somewhat worse when I get up to move. It is better this morning. 

    With the bathroom almost done (tomorrow), I am starting to make a plan for my bedroom. I will be wiping the walls and washing the floor. Once that is done, I will start to decorate it. The quilt and runners will be added once they are made. 

Today

I am out shortly to take the car in for a check up and oil change. Once done, I have some shopping to do and then home. I would like to sew rows of blocks together on the quilt. I hope to knit tonight. 

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