I’m taking the day off! I very rarely take an entire day for my own interests, so this feels a little odd.
\nI rose a little later than usual. Rather than starting my Friday morning at the clothes washer, I jumped into the shower, and then went to exercise.
\nWhen I got home, I did a few quick chores. I fed the birds and put out corn for the critters. EM and I planted bulbs that have been waiting for attention, and I cleaned up the mess.
\nI decided to check my stash for the fabric for a quilt I want to make. I need 22 fabrics in blues and greens ranging from the lightest to the darkest. It’s possible that I have half of the fabrics in my stash, maybe a little more than half. The largest amount of fabric required is for the borders. The fabrics for the design need anywhere from one eighth of a yard to a yard and a quarter. There’s cotton fabric all over my bed!
\nThe design I want to make looks rather like a puzzle. It’s incredibly easy to piece, but selection of fabric is crucial to making it a beautiful quilt. I’m looking forward to a pleasant morning at the quilt shop choosing fabrics to make this top work.
\nI’ve spent the rest of the early afternoon reading e-mail, and checking on my blogging friends. The sun is streaming in, keeping me warm, and making me think that a nap might be a good idea.
\nI wonder if I can persuade my family to go out for dinner! *G*
\nWouldn’t a soak in the whirlpool, with a good book, and a glass of wine be a lovely way to end the day??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
