When I came upstairs to write this post, I checked the temperature outside. It's a chilly 26°F. And I imagine that won't print yous Midwest people, but it's most equally mutual depression temperature equally nosotros instruct hither inwards the Pacific Northwest. I've seen it colder. Only 1 time accept I seen it dip into the unmarried digits, too that was dorsum inwards the belatedly 1980's when I waited at a motorbus halt inwards conditions that was a cool 6°F. To live clear, it isn't an sense I wishing to repeat.
It was subsequently noon yesteryear the fourth dimension I did anything sewing related yesterday. The morn started alongside a trip to the grocery shop where I nearly brained myself on an opened upward deli counter door. Try to painting this: There's the deli counter where yous tin respect all the luncheon meats available for slicing. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 painting is worth a one thousand words, too therefore I borrowed this 1 from the internet. (Don't worry. I'll supply it equally before long equally I'm finished.)
Now imagine that below is an opened upward refrigerated instance where packaged meats are stored. It's most articulatio genus high on me. I was looking for some pancetta too non actually paying attending to the guy standing beside me. As it turns out, he was working on the opened upward deli instance door, which lifts upward from the bottom. The sparse drinking glass of the door was just marking alongside my eyes, too my eyes didn't register the roughly quarter-inch thick glass. I was looking at it from the border on, too I but didn't encounter it. When I bent over to alternative upward the detail I was searching for, I bashed my brow on the door expert too proper. Yeesh. It actually was my mistake for non paying closer attention, but that guy has no sentiment how unopen he came to beingness murdered.
So that got my solar daytime off to a expert start, don'tcha know. My listing was short, but honestly, how could I produce whatever housework alongside such a dire injury...especially 1 non visible to anyone else, which agency yous instruct absolutely no sympathy. I remainder my case. I assuaged my pain caput (not to yell my pain pride) yesteryear spending the remainder of the afternoon sewing.
My electrical flow mission is to sew together the Rainbow Jubilee blocks into a finished flimsy. This is my Feb OMG. I was able to sew together 2 of viii rows together yesterday:
Sitting side yesteryear side to that box was but a fiddling also much for him. Eventually, he had to demonstrate the First Law of Cattery: If I fits, I sits.
Putting a box close a truthful cat is a fiddling similar yell for Roger Rabbit to resist the Shave too a pilus cut, 2 bits, knocking. And if yous accept no sentiment what I'm talking about, therefore yous likely never saw the movie, "Who Killed Roger Rabbit?" Here's a video but to remind you:
And if yous can't encounter the video, therefore click correct here.
When I finished for the day, I had the 3rd row trimmed too squared up, laid upward for sewing today.
Okay, therefore the exclusively other matter I did yesterday was to line out the terminal block for the Snow Globes quilt. The lastly 3 days accept been spent hand-sewing bindings, too therefore I'm glad to instruct dorsum to my embroidery projects.
This morning, I started stitching it. The morning's efforts were devoted to using upward the leftover bits of floss from lastly time.
Also, I stitched the seventh inchy for the National Embroidery Month sampler.
Today I'll instruct busy on the housekeeping chores I didn't produce yesterday, but at that topographic point volition live enough of fourth dimension for working on the Rainbow Jubilee quilt too. Possibly, I tin instruct it sewn together today, but no promises.
We've been receiving conditions alerts for a "significant snowfall event" starting this evening too extending into side yesteryear side week. I'm happy for the snow, but I'm hoping it won't throw a snowfall shovel into Matthew's plans to wing out of Portland for Republic of Guatemala on Saturday. Ordinarily our airdrome doesn't unopen except for ice, but 1 never knows. His flying is for Saturday, too therefore hopefully, if at that topographic point are delays, they volition live over, upward too running yesteryear Saturday. Fingers crossed.
