Sewing Today

I just don’t understand why I find cutting out and sewing little squares together.  There is something else I don’t understand.  After carefully cutting, the pieces are not exact when sewn together.  Sometimes I wonder how I ever managed to make a queen size quilt.

Heat

We finally turned it on this afternoon.  We go through this every year.  Do we turn it on or grin and bear it?  It was all right when we were trying to clean for company this evening.  But then it was time to shower and my bathroom is cooler than the rest of the house.  And Flo kept trying to adhere herself to us.  So, you know where her vote went.  We did find one alternative.

There’s nothing like fleece to keep a gal warm.  She stayed in there for about two hours.  Do you think that if I made her a body suit, she would wear it?

New Purse

I couldn’t help myself.  Doug wanted to get new Reebok.  There is one style that he really likes so we went to the outlets by Rehoboth.  He bought two pairs.  I went over to Fossil.  I was going to look at wallets, which I did, but I saw a beautiful purse that I had to have.  Also, I got 20% off.  I guess I’ll have to take a picture.  I also bought a pair of  Skechers and slippers at LL Bean.  I did a lot better than when I went to Vernon Powell last week. 

Next, we went to BJs.  They had the yogurt I wanted, but not the dish detergent.  I bought a big bag of Honeycrisp apples so I’m happy.  When we got home, Doug ate two pieces of raisin bread so I had one, too.  I wound up making pot stickers and mixed vegetables for supper.

More Baby Socks

I couldn’t decide on which picture to put up, so here’s both.  These were definitely the most fun to make.  And the color is great, too.These were esy to make, but I made a bad yarn choice on this one.  I also think they would have looked better if I had used a thinner yarn and smaller needles.  I still plan on making two more pair before going on to something else.

Here’s my new sock kit.  The varigated yarn is sparkly!  OOO!

It was only in the mid-fifties today, but it wasn’t windy.  We walked around the horse farm and then down to the river.  It was so beautiful sitting out on the pier.  And so quiet.  I loved it.  I love living here.

Two Cats in My Lap

It makes for very difficult blogging.  I’ve got two more baby socks to show you and some great pictures of Cora.

Suddenly, It Feels Like Winter

The damp, chilly air is getting to me and it’s dark by the time I start fixing supper.  Last week there were leaves on the trees.Now, there’s hardly any leaves left.  I can’t stand it.

I was going to blog every day this month, but I’ve all ready blown that.  I never even gave it a thought yesterday.  I can use the excuse that I was out most of the day, but I didn’t leave until almost 2PM and I was home by 830.  I’m still working on baby socks.  I’ve got three and a half pairs finished.  I also have another sock kit to make.

My Poor Bladder

I went back to the urologist yesterday.  I had no idea it was possible to put all that up a person’s bladder.  I’ve got to go back in a month.  This time I was given a gel to try.  It’s not supposed to have the side effects.  We’ll see.  I hate the ‘try this, try that’ business.

It’s very windy today.  I could have spent the day sitting on my neighbor’s pier out on the river.  It was so beautiful.  Some of the waves were so hard that it felt like someone or something was kicking the pier.

The girls loved chasing the leaves.  They were out all day.

Cora found it safer to sit on the railing.

 

I Couldn’t Fix Supper

So we went out.

Thrusday

It was only in the mid fifties when we went for our walk today.  I guess Autumn is finally here.  Can Winter be far behind?  At least I have plenty of warm socks.  I was looking at my sock yarn this morning, trying to decide which one to use next.  I have also been looking at shawl patterns to use the lace weight  yarn I bought at Knitter’s Nest.  It was hard to drag myself  back to the baby socks.  I finished one sock of the third pair of baby socks.  I finished cutting all the pieces for the small quilt and started sewing.  Can I get any more boring?
