After bragging the other day about being packed up early for the bee I got my comeuppance today.

I headed out to the bee early as I wanted to stop at the post office. I was early enough that I thought I might be able to pop into the grocery store for some supplies for a show at the Hall on Friday.

I had my packages ready to go but it turned out that if I used one of their Express envelopes my costs would be cheaper. By the time I readdressed the package it was too late to stop for my supplies so I went off to the bee.

I pulled two bags from the car, along with my sewing machine and purse, and settled in. My machine was set up and I was ready to go. But when I reached for my project I realized that my project bag was still at home. Not to worry, I had a miniature that still needed some work. But when I pulled it out I realized that the fabric I needed was in the project bag.

I made a quick trip home, collected my missing bag, and headed back to the bee. I had some difficulty with the card top I was making – it was my second time around because I didn’t really like the first one I made. Now that the second one is done I’m wondering if maybe the third time would be the charm. I haven’t decided yet whether or not I’ll try it again.

I made a bit of progress on my miniature. Some of the fabric is directional and some of my blocks were going in the wrong direction. I have them fixed now and the blocks are ready to sew together – something for next week.

I had someone dropping by the house after sewing but on my way home I had just enough time to stop at the bank.
