It was a hard sell but I managed to get myself out for a walk this morning. It was cooler and I walked before I did any watering. And, lucky me, by the time I got home it was sprinkling rain so I won’t need to water much today. The local berry truck was just getting set up in the parking lot when I headed out and by the time I got back they were ready for business. I bought a small basket of BC Cherries!

I spent what was left of the morning trimming up some half-square triangles for the mystery quilt I’m working on. I’m quite behind, but I’ve done some of all the steps so that I know that I know what I’m doing. The Guild announced today the fabric requirements for the fall mystery they will be doing. I’ve picked out some fabric for it but I’m not sure that I’ll do it. I really would like to get a few of my other projects finished but it is fun to be sewing along with a group.

I spent some time this afternoon working on my cross stitch sew-along. I’m really liking how it is turning out and I’m only a few stitches into step 2 with step 1 incomplete while I wait for thread to arrive. My other stitch-along (with Stacia and Deloise) is moving along too. I’ll be practicing my outline stitch and fly stitch tonight, unless I decide to go back to my knitting.

It has showered off and on most of the day but the sun is coming out now. I’m not sure we got enough to even green up the lawn but I enjoyed the day’s break from watering.
