Progress On The Doll's Jacket

 Yesterday was sunny with a high of 21C (humidex 26C). This morning it is slightly overcast and 13C. Today is supposed to be mainly cloudy with a high of 24C (humidex 27C). 

Lifestyle

I did a bit of work on the family tree before heading out to have my hair cut. Once home, I sat for a bit and then cleaned my bedroom. It wasn't bad; very little dust on the furniture and the floor was clean. I will do the floor the next time I do the room. 

My SI joint was sore yesterday and I laid on the couch and held it in the stretch position for 3 minutes. When done, I slowly lowered it down to being straight. I laid on the couch in a fully relaxed way for 20 minutes and when I got up, I had no more pain. There was not cracking or popping so it must have quietly released the last bit when I was stretching. 

Though I had a good night's sleep I was weary from all the pain I have had the past few days. Even physio left me feeling sore which left me tired. I am hoping that having no pain at the moment will allow me to recover. It has affected me in all ways; poor eating habits, little movement, and feeling like I can't do what I want to do. 

Sewing

I did go down and sew on the doll's jacket. I got the lining back pieces sewn together and the front center and side pieces sewn on both the outer and lining fabrics. I also sewed the shoulder seams on both. 

This jacket is quite fitted so I took the red vest off the doll. I will probably have to take the shirt off also. 

As the front of the jacket can open the center front pieces of the lining are done in the outer fabric. 

I am following both the written instructions and the videos on how to make the jacket. I am still on part 1 of the video and the next step is to do the sleeves. I will have to say that this jacket is a more advanced than I thought it was. But I am enjoying the challenge. 

Knitting

None done last night. 

Thoughts

    The first 2 cucumbers I put out died. I think it was too cold and wet for them. The other two are looking amazing so I am hoping they do well. I do have seeds in one container and hope they come up so we can have plenty of cucumbers this summer. 

    I moved the tomatoes out into a sunnier area on the deck. They are doing well. The peppers are now starting to grow new leaves. They did struggle this spring also. The first set died and the 2nd set sat doing nothing for days on end. The only thing that is doing well are the weeds. They are big, strong, and healthy. 

    I emptied the dehumidifier yesterday but it had been full for 24 hours. I couldn't do it the day before due to the pain I was having. I am thinking of emptying it every day as it is filling up very quickly. The lowest our humidity was 57% yesterday and it was 100% overnight. 

Today

I have to make cookies this morning. This afternoon I am going to sew on the jacket and try to get the sleeves sewn and maybe get them put in. I would like to knit tonight. It is going to be a fairly quiet day for me. 

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