I had a productive morning. After checking my mail and Facebook I did some work on my Guild archives. I’ve been putting off doing them every time they came up on my reminder list but I need to keep at it if I want it done before a new batch of archiving is ready.

I transferred a few photos from my camera and my desktop to my Photos app. A lot of them were the scanned pictures I’ve worked on from Christy’s bin. I’m not sure that they are of any better use in digital form but at least they take up less space. While I was transferring pictures I worked on my website and did some scheduled posts for things I’ve completed but I’m not quite ready to share.

I cut a few more strips for my Guild mystery. I definitely need more variety in my fabrics so after a stop at the library to pick up two more books I headed down to our “new” quilt shop. It is a small space but, although she has all the fabric colours, there isn’t a lot of choice. She has a huge collection of what I would call landscape fabric for art quilts but since they are something I’ll never do I didn’t spend too much time looking. Her prices are either better or the same as I see in the “old” quilt shop. I purchased a couple of meters of fabric that I think will work in the quilt I’m making.

It was such a nice day out that I decided to work in the yard after lunch. The roses had some blackberry bushes growing (again) and I wanted to get them cut down before Spring. I’m either reducing the number of blackberries or I’m better at protecting myself; I had many fewer scratches and bruises when I was done.

One of the projects I thought I was done was my afghan. I made a scheduled post (as it is a birthday gift for November) but when I cleaned out my knitting basket to get ready for a new project I found three more balls of yarn that had slipped out of my basket and rolled behind my chair. Fortunately the pattern is such that I can easily add it it; the afghan was looking a bit small so this will fill it out more.

I have a bin packed with projects for Texada. Pat is waiting on a parcel delivery and, if it comes tomorrow, we will head off for a few days.
