A Dreary Day
It is a dreary day that is bringing some rain showers. The rain is needed. It seems like its been forever since I stained the deck and the dust was something awful on it. No mere sprinkles would clean it. It would take a hard driving rain.
I slept so hard last night, you would have thought I had been digging ditches yesterday. I know I had gotten up during the night, but not sure what the time was. It was nine thirty when my feet hit the floor. Usually when the garbage truck bang-idy bangs our bin on a given Tuesday that would have been my wake-up call. The time I get up matters nothing. The important thing is that I felt rested and ready to take on the remaining day.
My first task in the studio today was to tidy up the various fabrics I had pulled out to find just that right fit for the bathroom window. There were other fabrics that I had used, a portion of each for Megan’s project. Each fabric was measured and a note was then pinned on each one as to the size each one was. It makes it so much easier the next time I need to surf through the stashes.
I am on several sites of the internet that have pop-ups when a new item in their quilt shops is featured. It sure is tempting when all the wonderful hues speak to me. Nope. I have made it my personal quest to churn through my stashes, getting creative to make do with what is on hand.
I did have fabric of a two yard length that I may be able to use in a coming project. The first thing is to cut off the salvage along the length of the fabric where the manufacturer is listed and even the collection that the length came from. The salvage is tightly woven. If it is used in a sewing project, it may well be a seam that will not want to play nice. I have gotten that much done.
As I look out of the windows of my bedroom porch, I am amazed how many of the trees are already free of their leaves without having had a hard frost. After this rain, I think more will decided to let go of that spindly stem attaching them to their parent . . . and drop.
One thing that is lacking today is the grain hauling semis. In all probability, yesterday may have been the last of the harvest.
Nothing more to report at this juncture.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
