No tidings is proficient news, every bit they say, together with I induce got really petty to report. As I mentioned yesterday, I was heading out for a "short" trip to the grocery store. Before I left yesterday, Erik called to inquire nigh our can newspaper situation. (I simply dearest meaningful conversations amongst my sons, don't you?) He was aware nosotros had a plentiful supply, together with he together with Mae were nearly out. No problem, of course. I had some to spare. He had some other outing planned to Target, together with hoped to honour his own, but I was going to depository fiscal establishment gibe at our store too.
I offset stopped off at a vegetable marketplace seat inwards town. They sell alone vegetables together with fruits. It's a petty similar a privately-owned farmers market. I picked upwards my arrive at there. They also had strawberries. Matthew has requested angelfood cake amongst strawberry topping for his birthday cake tomorrow, together with hence it was proficient to honour fresh strawberries...ripe ones, even.
After that, I headed off to the modest grocery store, located simply downwards the street from the vegetable stand. There, I picked upwards most of my groceries, together with checked the can newspaper aisle. I institute none. I texted Erik to permit him know it was a no-go, together with he hadn't institute whatsoever at Target either. Also, I institute no mascarpone cheese, which I needed for a recipe, together with hence that meant going to the larger grocery store (my park store) at the other cease of town. While there, I checked in ane trial again for TP...annnnnnnnnd SCORE!
There were 2 packages left on the shelf, amongst a restrict of ane per customer. From at that spot I had to walk to the far cease of the store to expect for truthful cat food. When I came dorsum nigh 5 minutes later, the concluding bundle was gone. You know it's been a lackluster solar daytime when I start blogging nigh can paper. Haven't nosotros all moved the bar that measures a proficient fourth dimension to a seriously depression seat inwards all of this?
Also, I was happy to honour zucchini seeds. I'd read nigh a seed shortage recently, together with it seems seeds are on the “panic buying” listing now. We desire to flora a garden this year, but when I went to my park online source for seeds, I institute them sold out of residential quantities of some of the things I wanted. I purchased dissimilar varieties from the quondam standbys, but couldn’t honour whatsoever zucchini except inwards farm-sized packets. (My friend Marei requested that I non flora a farm-sized amount of zucchini, which I took to last proficient advice.) I planned to expect at a local feed store this week, but institute them at the grocery store. I tin cross ane less worry off my list. It would last disastrous if I couldn't flora zucchini, wouldn't yous agree?
So, dorsum habitation again, I finished stitching the human face upwards on the cat.
The neckband is three-dimensional. It lays flat, but wasn't tacked downwards until I stitched the whiskers over the top. And then, I was to add together a push to each corner. I'd tell that's ane dapper truthful cat amongst his button-down neckband together with tie, wouldn't you?
That was all the sewing I did yesterday. I'm going to cutting all the petty sashing blocks together with stitch them around it earlier I deed on to the side past times side thing. I'd similar to practise them a petty at a time, rather than all at once. I've been sewing for days together with days, together with all that cutting makes my left wrist hurt. Holding the ruler gives me tendonitis. So, I gave my wrist a interruption together with immobilized it. I tin yet experience it a petty this morning, but I'll in all probability larn dorsum to sewing anyway.
Speaking of "moving on," it's fourth dimension to laid a goal for April's
As I've mentioned, I'm working away at a handbag of bonus triangles. I'd similar to stitch them into a quilt overstep earlier month's end, but I'm non certain I tin larn it accomplished. Instead, I think I'll laid every bit my goal to complete quilting together with binding the pansy mosaic. That would last my quilt complete for the month.
It's all sandwiched together with fix to go. It shouldn't induce got besides long. Binding strips are already cut, if I'm remembering right. It'll last proficient to larn this ane finished. This was a pattern past times Jane Kakaley. As I was writing this, I looked for images of pansies I mightiness purpose a guides for quilting. In the process, I institute this article from the Vancouver Sun all nigh pansies amongst several pretty pictures. Check it out! Or don't...I'm non trying to boss yous around. I would never practise that.
Today I induce got some housework to grab upwards on, together with and hence I'll larn dorsum to the sashing for the tall cat. Also, I'll larn dorsum to the Appalachian Memories block for today's slow-stitching. I missed stitching it yesterday inwards favor of the cat. Cats. Their needs e'er come upwards first, fifty-fifty when they're made of fabric.
