Runner #1 For My Bedroom

 Yesterday was mainly sunny with a high of 30C (humidex 34C). This morning it is cloudy and 22C (humidex 29C). Today is supposed to have showers with a high of 25C (humidex 32C). 

Lifestyle

I was out on the deck cleaning up. I put away the deck chairs and brought up the leaf bag to put plants into. The cucumbers were easy. The grape tomato plant had to be picked and then the branches cut off. It was quite the job as the plant had grown thick a thick stem and branches. 

Once that was done, I started to feel very hot and put away trellises and the bag. I staggered into the house overheated. The humidity had gone up and there was no breeze. I had to sit and drink fluids to cool off. I was quite tired. 

When I had cooled off and rested, I went downstairs and worked in the family room. I pulled out the table the Cricut is on and cleaned that area. I also took the two trolleys over to the chairs and tidied them up. A few things went but not a lot. I also tidied up a small basket of items I still need. The room is done and I now need to sweep and mop the floor. 

I did look under the stairs and removed a box. It is in the storage room as I may need it to take stuff to the thrift store. I also put the two trolleys under there for now. Everything will come out when I start to clean under the stairs. 

My glucose dropped to the hungry level for lunch and dinner. I was okay with that as it was time to eat. It also means I am using up the carbs I am eating. 

I was over to visit my friend last night. She and her dog needed company. Her dog was up in my arms giving me a lot of kisses and then snuggled with me on the couch. When she had enough she went to bed a very happy dog. My friend and I visited and talked about how we want to do more things than just sew. Just what we want to do is the big question. We are both thinking about it. 

Sewing

I got the first runner quilted and the binding sewn on. I also started to hand sew the binding down. 

I didn't get the quilting right at the sides as I wasn't sure where the binding would be. I did try to figure it out but I was off by 1/4". No one will see it on the furniture. 

Knitting

I did knit a bit last night. I cast on and knit 6 rows of seed stitch for a hat. It is to go with the coat I had made. 

I now need to bring up the next size larger needles to do the main part. 

I weighed the yarn for the blue socks and I don't have enough. I am thinking on what I will do. Buy yarn for them or make something else. 

Thoughts

    We haven't had this kind of humidity for quite a while. I had turned off the a/c and opened the windows for the night. At 1:30 am I had to get up and close the windows and turn on the a/c as the house was too warm and quite humid. The house was cool this morning. The forecast today is for a humidex reading until 11 pm tonight. 

    I did look under the stairs and made a mini plan. I have 2 paint cans to go for recycling. I put a suitcase into the storage room to sell. The other one I will keep. I looked at the Christmas and Halloween tubs and know I need to get them out and organized a bit better. There are fall decorations that I will either toss or donate. I will get on with it next week. 

    I have been thinking about the sewing room. I won't be doing a major clean in it until January. I will do a minor clean in October. I have been thinking about what I want to sew in the future. Do I want to sew every day is one thing I have asked myself. Another is what do I want to sew. What fabrics can I get rid of and what ones will I keep. I have started a brain dump on this room. It is a hard one which I knew it would be. I have started a list of what I want to sew (or what will my sewing look like). 

Today

I have to do the balance sheet and a load of laundry this morning. I should also tidy up the kitchen. This afternoon I will hand sew the binding on the runner. Tonight I hope to knit. A quiet day for me.

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