Good morning, my friends. It's another Monday. Happily, it'll be a mostly-sewing day for me. I took the weekend off from doing any workouts, but I'll need to get back to that today. Aside from that, it will be NBS for me.
As expected, I didn't get much sewing done yesterday, but I finished my "Circus" piece. It now has a space on the wall of my sewing room. Here's a peek for you.

Good morning, my friends. It was a good day of sewing yesterday. I was able to finish off the Circus piece. It just needs the binding hand-sewn now. Today's sewing will probably be mostly hand-sewing, although I'm going to make good on my threat to sew the Kittens blocks into a finished quilt top.

Good morning, my friends. Yes, I said "sowing," not "sewing." Even though it's Sewturday, I'm going to say something about sowing. We had a busy day yesterday. It started out slow enough when I started with the March block for A Year in the Garden. As usual, I was simply using up the partially used bits of floss from the last time I worked on this project.

Good morning, my friends. We have a couple of nice weather days going on right now. The temperatures have warmed considerably, which is very much appreciated. It was a good day for sewing with bright sunshine streaming in through the windows. I started my sewing day taking the first stitches on the third of three blocks for "S" is for Sew. (There are nine blocks in all, but I'm only doing the first three for now.)

Good morning, my friends. Happily, it's a stay-at-home day for me. I've had to go out the last two days in a row. Oh, the humanity! We'll have to make a short trip into town tomorrow, but it will be fast. Today, though...nothing. I have some things to do at home that will simply be obstacles to my sewing, but there should be plenty of time for progress today.
It was lunch time when I got home yesterday. I had a light lunch, and then a good nap. There was no time for slow-stitching before I ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. I'm writing super fast this morning. I have just 15 minutes before I need to jump in the shower and get ready to head out for my monthly pedicure. Honestly, I wish I was staying home. I seriously considered canceling yesterday, but then decided to go ahead with it. So, here we go. No fluff. I hate to write and run, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

read moreGood morning, my friends. How's everyone doing? Things are pretty slow around here. We're doing our grocery shopping today, and I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow. The energy level is going to need to pick up some. I was all set to take a walk on the treadmill yesterday, but I was discouraged when the TV wouldn't play my latest Ken Burns documentary...The West. And, obviously, I can't walk on the treadmill if I can't watch television at the same time, so what's a person to do? Well, I vacuumed and dusted. I ...

read moreGood morning, my friends, and Happy President's Day! We're celebrating the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln today. Here, in America, these used to be separate holidays. A while back, some genius got the idea to combine the two into a single national holiday, providing Americans with another three-day weekend. If that includes you, then enjoy your day off.
There was more on yesterday's to-do list than I remembered when I wrote yesterday's post. For one thing, I'd forgotten I needed to bake another pre-breakfast snack. Mike was given an opportunity to choose my ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It's a second Valentine's Day here. Mike and I have an evening out tonight to celebrate Friday's Valentine's Day. There's a special three-course meal at one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Portland. We wanted to avoid the Friday night holiday crowd, and so we waited until tonight for our celebratory dinner. I'm glad because I doubt we could have gotten out of our driveway on Friday. Tonight, it'll be smooth sailing...but no sailing...and no slipping, just because it's smooth. Sailing and slipping are to be ...

It was a miserable day of weather yesterday. Smitty could scarcely believe his eyes.
