I received news this morning via Facebook that our quilt store is closing. I’m really sorry about it. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that she had a fabric sale going on (25% off) and I was tempted to go have a look. None of my projects needed anything though so I set aside the idea.

But today, knowing there might not be another opportunity, I was tempted again – 30% off everything. The only thing I NEEDED was some spray baste but then I thought I might pick up some other fabrics and thread at good price for a time when I did need them. And maybe she had wool for a new embroidery project.

Pat and I talked about the risk of going to the store but I felt if I went first thing or at the end of the day there wouldn’t be many people around. We even floated the idea of me driving myself. I haven’t driven since my surgery last October but this would be a short trip with a large parking lot. In the end though we decided I was so close to the end of my treatments that it would be safer not to bother.

It’s a lovely day today and we did the sea walk again this afternoon. Pat noticed that I had a lot more energy and I certainly noticed that there were a lot fewer bench stops. It is too warm these days for my touque and today on the return trip I even took off my scarf. I’d like to say that the wind through my hair felt good but I still have no hair to speak of. The coolness on my scalp was pleasant though.
