Christmas Prep – Done

Tuesday, December 14, 2021

I didn’t have much hand stitching to do today after all. I came upstairs at the end of the night to get the binding attached to that quilt but found that it needed more work before I could bind it because the backing was a bit short on the side I started to stitch on. Maybe the quilt tops I do aren’t as bad as I think they might be. I guess it is aways harder to work on someone else’s project and know that they haven’t done them they way I would have done them.

I had barely started my stitching before it was time to go to my appointment. After that I had one more stop to make at the Post Office and then a stop at the pharmacy to fill a prescription. On my way back from sewing I stopped for gas so it was almost lunch before I got back to work.

Since I had finished my stitching, after lunch I took some photos for the blog, packed up and headed home. I had to pick up my prescription around 1:30 so I quickly got the last of my cards addressed, stamped and ready for today’s mail. I bragged to Pat that this time I wouldn’t need to stand in line I just had to drop them in the outside bin. Of course when I got to the Post Office there was no one in sight so I didn’t feel like I had a win!

I’m back to doing some clean up in my sewing room – putting away Christmas bags, tags and paper and putting away some Christmas fabric. It won’t take long but I’d like to get it done so I can have a fresh start tomorrow morning.
