Pin Tuck Top Completed

 Yesterday was another lovely day with a high of 25 (humidex 28C). This morning it is clear and 15C. Today is supposed to be mainly cloudy with a high of 23C (humidex 26C). 

Lifestyle

I was out in the morning to have a hair cut. It was trying to rain with little to no success. I was home an hour later. My jobs of the morning were to clean the kitchen and fold laundry. The kitchen got a good cleaning as it was due. I spent quite a bit of time making sure everything was super clean. Four items are ready to be put into a box for the thrift store. 

I folded laundry and got it put away. That job is done for this now. It wasn't hard to do. It is just something that gets put down at the bottom of the list and forgotten for a few days. 

It was humid yesterday and I really could feel it in the afternoon. We need a good wind that will move the high pressure system out to sea and give us some rain. We are starting to beg for it to happen. 

Sewing

I had a wonderful afternoon in the sewing room. I finished the pin tuck top for Anika the rabbit. It wasn't a lot of work and I had a great time finishing it. 

I enjoyed making the top but still wonder why it has a skirt on it when it will be worn underneath a wrap dress. 

The snaps are on and I am ready to start the dress tomorrow. 

As I had time before dinner, I decided to work on the next bag. I cut out the handles and got them sewn onto the main bag. 

There isn't a lot left to sew on this bag as the handles take longest to make. 

Knitting

I did knit last night and got the leg done on sock #2. I am ready to knit the heel flap. 

At the rate I am moving, I may have another pair of socks made before we leave on our trip. With it getting dark earlier, I seem to start knitting earlier in the evenings. 

Thoughts

    I enjoyed my sewing time yesterday. No rush, no pressure. Just calm and relaxed. Once I finish the wrap dress and the bags, I am done sewing unless I have to make something for the trip. I want to clean up the sewing room so it is tidy and ready for its big cleaning in January. 

    There is a chance of frost tonight and tomorrow night in low lying areas. I need to pick the peppers this morning just in case we get frost. We have a 50% chance at this time of the year. It is also time to start focusing on tidying up the deck and yard. I will do it slowly over the next few days. 

    The fog is rolling in quickly this morning. The conditions are perfect for fog; high humidity and cool. I like watching it come in and go down our street. 

Today

I want to pick the peppers and start putting things away into the shed. I need to do a bit of grocery shopping and go to the Dollar store. I hope to sew on the bags this afternoon and knit tonight. 

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