I spent the morning cleaning the Hall. As I was cleaning I kept thinking this was my last week but unless our regular cleaner comes back early I have one more week left. Months with five weeks are sometimes good but this month not so much.

I had a few errands to do after the Hall cleaning but I was tired and my back and wrists were aching so I decided to leave the shopping until tomorrow. I need a few baking supplies but I won’t be baking until Friday (for the concession on Saturday) so no rush there. The smoke detector outside my studio started to beep this morning meaning it needs a new battery; I realize that I really shouldn’t put that off but, fingers crossed, one night without it will be okay.

I packed my bags for my sewing session tomorrow. These sessions started out to be hand stitching days but Gail wanted to do a string star pattern so we’ll be machine stitching for a couple of weeks. Depending on how the pattern turns out I may be able to use it as a table topper give-away at our Hall event.

And speaking of the Hall event I made a start on a project that will also double as my miniature for next month. Not that I think it will take a month to finish it (although you never know) but it is still too damp outside to sandwich my quilts so this is small enough I can probably get it done before the sun comes back again. Although I don’t particularly like appliqué I’ve been enjoying what I’m doing so far – I think I’ll go back to it for a little while before supper.
