Good Start
When I got up this morning, it felt as if I had just gone to bed. A good night’s rest of hours of deep sleep. I had to look twice to realize that the morning was in full gear.
This Monday was a good start. It was the start of me getting back into the studio. It had been two weeks. I missed my space and I missed the news from KNUJ.
Staying on the first floor while I had a cold was a smart move on my part.
By getting back into the studio for several hours this forenoon gave me back a sense of balance for my day. A routine that allows the feeling that, yes . . . I am able to do what feels good and I can do good at my sewing. That quilt top that has been under the needle for what seems like months is finally being measured up for some borders. I have options of fabrics on the table and the goal is to use most of it up. Not liking unfinished projects, I hope to finish the project up this week. Of course, I have something waiting in the wings.
The hand stitching is a good thing to fall back on but not as a full time endeavor for the days.
Yesterday, cousin Mark shot off a photo to me of a quilt top he had just finished. He followed up with a good phone conversation. His friend had requested a quilt from Mark. Mark found the king-sized quilt kit on the market-place via Facebook. It included fifteen yards of fabric plus the quilting design for a long arm quilter to finish it by following the pieced top. That had the $50.00 price tag still on the packet. The top will be handed off and the finishing will be done by the friend and his wife. Mark had made a great score. Mark’s job is as a head mechanic at a huge printing site in Hastings.
This evening our supper will be hearty bean and ham soup with a side of a fried egg sandwich.
No appointments this week. Sweet.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
