I ended up with extra time today after all my tasks were finished. Of course I had an early start so even before breakfast I had finished with some web updates. I had a couple of monthly decluttering tasks that took some time. I cleaned and oiled my sewing machines and changed the needles. I also put a new blade in my rotary cutter after spending half an hour cutting up more 1.5″ scraps. I did some more transcribing from my journal that covered our East Coast vacation; I’m enjoying this more than I thought I would as I can see in my head some of the things I’m talking about and it also jogs my memory on things I had forgotten. Pat helped me connect my iPod to a set of speakers (the ones where the water jumps in time to the music). One of my decluttering tasks was to remove one thing from my sewing space that didn’t belong. I find I can’t use earbuds or ear phones so this will give me some music on Texada in my sewing space.

Because I’m caught up on my Botanical Garden project I only had one section of my Peppermint Purple to take care of today. I could have gone on to my Roses and Lace project but I decided I’d rather come back upstairs and start the quilting on my crocuses. The next instructions for the Botanical Garden project will come out on Friday so next week I’ll have a section on each of them to work on.

I had a lovely surprise in my mail today. Along with some tax documents and some sashiko thread that I had ordered I had a nice thank you card from Taylor. She also included a DQ gift card. On the next sunny day (definitely not today) I’ll try to persuade Pat to go for a drive and stop for a treat on the way home.

Pat has an online session tonight. I need a new knitting project for my evenings so maybe I’ll use that time to figure something out.
