I had a good day at the bee today but I didn’t accomplish too much. I finished off my card, except for the hand stitching, and that was my highest priority. I also had time to stitch around another snowflake, but my bobbin ran out just before I finished the second one so I decided to call it a day. I’m planning to go over to Texada on Thursday night and, since I’m driving, I might take a machine with me this time. My April challenge has more or less taken over my Tuesday project simply because it is easy to pack up and uses the same machine as the small projects I’m working on.

After cleaning up and leaving the bee I got a few groceries; not as many as I thought I would need though as I’m making five different items. The recipes are pretty basic and I always have lots of butter, sugar and flour in the house for my concession baking. The ladies from Texada are having a good laugh about the Kitchen Party – the latest someone said was that they were extending the hours from 3 PM to 5 PM. I hope they were just teasing!

I’m waiting for fabric to arrive in order to finish the 9-Patch I started in my last Guild class. There was a parcel waiting today and, although it wasn’t my fabric, it was a fun one. The envelope contained Pat’s birthday present and a hockey cards from Will and Alex. Kathryn also included the embroidery floss I needed and she even threw in three books (I think the books may originally have come from Regan).

I’ll get started on a bit of baking now – I should have time for at least one bundt cake before bed! While it bakes I’ll get to work on that hand stitching.
