Hello and Good Morning,
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was lovely. Nothing really out of the ordinary, just a bunch of little things that pleased me. I met up with Dee Saturday morning - always a nice time. I cut more daffodils to bring inside. The white petaled ones with the orange centers are a favorite of mine and that bunch is now blooming under our apple tree.
I can't leave the daffodils where they are in the picture above.. That is the top of a dresser in the office room and Mabel has been known to jump up there - even though she shouldn't. The little nine-drawer black & white chest holds *special* buttons - some found on vacations (knit ones in Colorado) (cat ones that Fletch bought for me as a surprise) (others found at a lovely store in Vermont that no longer exists). I should USE them rather than just save them away in drawers.
Likewise, Juliann's Post about the quilt show she visited reminded me of ALL the fabric I have. As I mentioned to Juliann, I used to collect fabric like others collect shells or pinecones or anything. I have a lot of it. Now that I am retired and have the TIME, I intend to go through it and do something with it! I have a bunch for making more tablecloths; some for making pillow covers; and a lot that could be sewn into interesting/unusual tops. No guarantee that anything will happen soon, but at least I am thinking about it!
I did manage to scrub the bathrooms this weekend, wash the towels and the bath rugs. Nice to have that done. I did not get to the kitchen floor (filthy) or the bedroom (equally dirty). BUT, I did relax and enjoy life. Fletch and I sat out once or twice (not for too long as it was kind of chilly). Fletch did some pruning on the apple tree. Mabel joins us on the patio when we sit out in the late afternoon.
Today at the recommendation of our doctor, we are going to CVS for another booster shot. We had our last one in October, but our doctor recommends another one since we are over 65. Plus, we are going away in early April and I will be flying to NC in mid-April. I'm happy to get more protection! We've never had any reaction to the booster shots and I don't expect one today...but I will plan to take it easy - knitting and stitching and reading.
Wishing you all a great start to a new week!
