It seemed like a short morning after turning our clocks ahead last night. I felt like I wanted to sleep longer than I did, but since it was already eight when I woke up I thought I’d better get up and get busy. After my coffee, even before breakfast, I made a pan of Rice Krispie squares for Pat to take to the Song Circle this afternoon. Then I got started on the laundry. We’re not sure yet whether the House Concert people next weekend will be staying at the house but, in case they are, I need to have the beds ready before I leave.

With most of the living room put back together after Friday’s show we realized that we should have left everything set up for the next one. We have another sell out so we already had the right number of chairs in the right spots. We’ll have to set it all up again next weekend before I leave for Christy’s. Only half of my dishes were put back in the cabinet so I’ll leave them out. I’ll cover them with a cloth though; our bathroom renovations are starting this week and I expect there will be dust everywhere. At least I’ll have a good excuse if the house isn’t spit-spot clean for the show.

I have my block for the day finished. Half of the blocks are finished, and two of the four corners are done. I’ve revised my schedule and I could be finished the quilting by the end of the month. That would just leave the sleeve and binding to do which should be manageable in the week I have before the show. I’ll have some Cranberry Hall work to take care of, as well as some Facebook advertising for the show, but I think I’ll be able to squeeze that in without much difficulty.

Time now for another load of laundry, packaging a card for the mail tomorrow, and doing a look-ahead to my April cards.
