A Day of Piddle
Sunday is the day of rest and then there is the old saying of “No rest for the wicked.” I am not wicked just in need of having something to show for my day.
Much to my surprise I did get all of the videos and photos of the day we spent on the farm with the threshing event loaded on a flash drive to send to cousin Dan. I had never attempted that process and it went pretty darn well. I have it ready for mailing.
Aunt Lorraine mentioned to me in a phone conversation that since her visit here in June, she would enjoy some extra items that I have in my fabric stashes. Why not share! I have the box ready for mailing.
There are days that I regret taking down the sewing studio to the bare concrete walls as early as I did. I felt that if the target date for the window installation came about and something had caused me to not be ready, I would have felt crushed. God forbid if someone else came in here and touched and packed up my stuff.
There is a beef roast doing a slow roast in the oven for supper and the extra time drove me down into the naked sewing studio.
I was able to get to a tote that held numerous old embroidery hoops either of plastic or wood. Re-purposing is my all time favorite thing to do. I have been able to have enough room in the sewing studio for the minimum square footage for the sewing machine and the embroidery unit. I have enjoyed piddling.
Today with the extra time and energy I decided to put the embroidery projects into some of the hoops for the ability to have them as accents on a wall. In time to come I know I will find the perfect ribbons from the “Kersten Stash” to use as the hangers themselves.
By the time the roast is done for supper, I will have burned off enough energy to enjoy a sit-to on the patio with Dennis. Unfortunately the last several days have brought about mosquitoes and they are the smallest stinging buggers ever, but still not as bad as the black flies. All in all it was a great piddle day.
