Much Better Day!

Today was a good day!  Warm temperatures called me outside
after work to paint and I was able to get my back garage door done. 
It looks great!  But, alas, as you all know once you do one thing it
calls attention to another needy project.  So now I'm thinking my
back door and frame needs a little tender care.  Since temps. will
be about 90 through Thursday I'm going to try and get the door
frame painted and touch up the door.  Then we'll see what calls to
me.  Probably need to get started on winter preparations for the
yard and garden.

Was very happy to be in my sewing room in the late afternoon.
Sewed the last few strips on my Halloween Ribbon Quilt.  May
have to replace on strip as it is too wide for the batting and
backing.  Once that is worked out, I can bind it and set it out
to enjoy through the month of October.  I started this with a
friend last year and didn't get it finished.  Seems like it was just
yesterday we were gathering fabric and making plans for the lap
quilt.  Where has this year gone?

Well my bed is calling to me so I'm off for some shut eye.
Enjoy Sunday, a day of rest!

  2. Hi Nola!

    Wow, it sounds like you have had a few rough days! I'm so glad you got everything done - or at least on it's way to a speedy finish! Please take care of yourself - remember, stress is not our friend!

    I need to get outside and get some painting done myself, it's been so pretty and warm, but, I know it won't last...and I'm feeling very lazy!

    24 pillow cases!! You have been busy, and you are inspiring me to get some sewing done. My daughter told me that her little daughter, 4 years old, will not wear anything lately but leggings and dresses. I thought I would get busy and make her a few jumpers to wear to pre-school - I think little girls look so cute in dresses...:0)

    Have a peaceful Sunday!

    Hugs,
    Barb
