I said to Ray today that I was doing four things at one time. One was embroidering 2 blocks, oh maybe I need five hands ;), I was also doing three loads of washing, whoops , well you all get the idea. Then I had my cutting tools out to cut the animal prints, didn't do a good job of that , only 2 squares done , I am too tired to do that job. Tomorrow..... And what was the fourth thing? I cannnot remember., not to worry.
We had to come in early from our usual goings around as the rest of my new bed was due to arrive between 2 and 4. I did buy s new wallet for my money at the mall. I had a littel one that carries a few cards and it has a hook to hokd the billd. However the hook was so loose that my bills feel out all the time. Not a agood thing as it is easy to lose the bills that way.
I mentioned yesterday that I like seeing the deer at the side of the road even though I know thye can be very dangerous whne they jumo into traffic. I am a freak I guess as I like Canada Geese too. I mentioned that other folk saw them as a big nuisance. In the paper this morning there was an article sbout municipalities petitioning the provincial government for assistance as they say they are being overrun by deer and Canada Geese who befoul the parks and other urban amentiies. Someone asked that citizens be able to hunt with bows and arrows within city limits. I can just see that one.
More big news. At the annual PNE there is a new craze, deep fried butter balls. Now I ask you!!
I did embroider two more of my little girls, the one I did on the wrong fabric that had to be redone and the last one in the series. As I mentioned before there are only 10 designs and I like 12 to make a quilt. . My thinking is that I could either do two more of the designs I have or do two pieced blocks for the corners at the bottom of the quilt.. I want to do the triple sashing with the nine patches in the corners. So what do I do. another two designs or piece a couple of red and white blocks, thinking of a pair of pinwheels. Any suggestions?
Kathy was right in suggesting that I use a Topstitch needle to prevent my thread from breaking.. I took her suggestion and my embroidery today was just fine, no thread breaking. Thank you Kathy.
I am watching the Mentalist , I like this show. It makes writing a slow process though LOL
Hurricane Earl is heading for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. When I lived in Nova Scotia we were under a hurricane watch but it slipped out to sea and there were only the big waves that came in but no wind. Still it is a scary thing. My son Adam was in Lake Charles when Hurricane Rita came ashore, lots of damage with that one. Then there were the last two storms a couple of years ago one of which was Hurricane Ike. .. Living in Louisiana there is always the danger of being washed out to sea in a big hurricane.
That's the news flashes for tonight.Oh no here is another one. Ray's sister just called to say that his other sister is in the hospital because she can't walk. She lives in Winnipeg.
Rest easy. Bon nuit.
