I got an early start to the day’s work and had my first load of laundry on the line before eight. Mind you while the load was washing I was sitting out on the deck with my crossword puzzle book and coffee.

I wanted to set the kitchen and living room to rights today and I’ve almost accomplished that. I packed two boxes that will be mailed to Kathryn on Monday and then I did some vacuuming. I probably should have scrubbed the floor but now that the sand has been collected I can live with a few spots.

I’m pleased that I have the final member for the Guild’s Program Committee. I sent a reminder out yesterday regarding the survey and I’m getting a few more responses. I want to send out one more before we make decisions on what we’ll do for classes and demos during the year. I must get on that tomorrow.

And there is always more Hall work to do. We have a couple of shows booked in August so I had to update our website. The newsletter is due out at the beginning of August so I’ve made a start on that.

When the work was done I came up to my sewing room for some fun. I had a specific pattern in mind for Kathryn’s next calendar block; the one that came in the series I have been following didn’t feel right. I found a different one but I’m struggling with it. The pattern seems a little unclear and the template doesn’t match the size of the strips you are to cut so I went online and found a tutorial for something else that I’m hoping will work for this pattern. Time will tell but if it isn’t the right size I can add borders or cut it down as necessary. I’ve made a start but I hope to get this out in Monday’s mail as well so I’d best keep at it.

I think I’ll spend the evening knitting and watching TV. The house seems cooler today so I think I’ll be able to keep the back door locked, the patio doors open and still have a reasonably cool house when I go to bed. I have a fan if my plan fails.
