I think I'm better

I did lots today and no nap either. We had lunch out with Bob and Buzz. They are leaving for Hawaii on Monday - for a month!! Fabulous, I wish you two a wonderful holiday.
Today was another gorgeous spring day, all the trees are beginning to bud, the sun was shining , it was warm, what more could one ask?
When we got home I fixed up my two book marks that I embroidered yesterday. That includes cutting away the excess washable stabilizer and them carefully washing away what is left. Not too much washing or the bookmarks will be too soft. It is a delicate operation LOL.
I set them up on a towel and plastice canvas then put a heavy book on top of them so they don't curl up.

As you can see these two are in the process of drying.
After that I set up the embroidery machine to make two more bookmarks. I sent one of these to a friend in Michigan in December aand it never arrived. So the cross is for her. I hope it arrives this time.
See the next two bookmarks below, they are still in the hoop and will be washed tomorrow.

While all this was going on I cut the label down to size and folded over 1/4" , ironed it down and sewed on on portion of the label. Tonight I'll sew down the second part, then off to Quebec it goes.Today I  mailed the Red Hat fabric to Oregon for the Bingo game. Then when the bookmarks dry they will be mailed off and my business with Canada Post will be done for a while.
See I have been busy. :))
And I made dinner LOL, took some pea soup out of the freezer last night so I just had to warm it up for tonight's dinner. Hard eh!
Now it is Blogging time!
Always something to do isn't there. I love that......
The federal government fell today, so we are on for another election, voting day is either My 2, or May 9. It appears that this election will not make any changes, the results will be similar to what we now have. What a dreadful waste of time and money.
Ah Politicians, what does it matter to them how much of our money they waste.
Mary called to see if they could stay the night Monday. That will be fun....
Time to sign off.
I hope you all have a great evening.
Kalinishta.
