I was awake early this morning thinking of all the things I needed/wanted to get done today. Once my mind starts working there is no chance of any more sleep.

My sewing room was a complete disaster from trying to sort out fabrics for the scrappy quilt I’m working on and will be taking to the quilting weekend. So I started with that and cut out the final two blocks for the top. And since every bin of every colour of fabric was out I decided it might be a good time to do a bit of sorting within the bins. I managed to make it through one of them but I’ve just put the rest back on the shelf to deal with another day. I’ve printed out all the steps I’ll need to complete my Happy Scrappy but I still have to pack everything up to take with me tomorrow.

Since I won’t be around on Saturday and Sunday I thought I better not skip my outdoor work even though I really wanted to. I’ve cleared out all the pots on the deck so they are ready to have some soil added and then some plants put into them. It was a good day to be doing the deck clean up as it was also garbage day and there were a lot of broken bits and pieces that I was able to take out to the bin before they picked it up.

I was having lunch when I heard a knock at the door. I had completely forgotten that Ned was coming over with some mail from the Hall and a bill that I needed to pay. Usually I have his cheque ready for him but since I had forgotten he was coming he said I can pay him on Tuesday when we have our meeting. I had another renter stop by with a payment a bit later so I took some time to get a deposit ready for the bank tomorrow.

I’ve got all the tops for this batch of cards finished; one of them is quilted. I’ll keep working at them this afternoon but if I don’t get them all done today I think I’ll be able to work on them Monday morning and still have them to the post office to go out in that day’s mail.

Although I’m really not caught up on anything I think I’ll be able to sleep better tonight.
