This week has certainly had its share of surprises. I had decided to do handwork while sewing
with my Tuesday group. Since I was running
late, I grabbed my kit for making hexagons only to discover after arriving at the
Club House that I didn’t bring the fabric.
Sheesh…. Change of plans. I
decided to work on my scrappy bow tie project instead.
After dumpster diving and borrowing a rotary cutter I was able to crank
out a few on the Singer 404 I leave there all the time.
The second, much bigger, mess up happened yesterday. It’s something of a jolt when the 20 guests
you were expecting Friday show up Thursday.
We were hosting an end of tax season party for the AARP tax
volunteers in our area and dear hubby simply got the date wrong. It wasn’t as big a disaster as it might have
been because two of the other site leaders provided beverages and snacks, but
needless to say the house was not in the condition I had planned on it being
for the event. Hubby was a mess after working in the yard all day and the two dogs were in dire need of baths. The good news is that
this turn of events has given me back my Friday, plus the promise of several evening
meals out …. Something we rarely do.
I’ve been making these blocks for a group project. We have had quite a discussion as to whether
they are Churn Dash or Shoo Fly blocks.
Whichever is correct, my part in this stage of the process did get done
on schedule.
My first batch of five anti-ouch pouches for the May Guild
Meeting are complete.
