It was a cloudy morning so we decided not to work on the yard today, even though we had planned out what section we would attack next. We were both quite stiff from our work yesterday and found ourselves moaning every time we moved too fast or bent over. I did a couple of hours of coffee pod composting though. You would think that spending that much time at it I’d be near the bottom of the bin, but sadly there are still lots to do from our winter supply. I think I just need to keep at it; perhaps I’ll try to spend some time after dinner each night (unless of course there is something really good on Netflix). When I finished and cleaned everything up I celebrated with – you guessed it – a cup of coffee!

The day turned out very pleasant, but I’ve spent most of it in my studio. This “special” card I’m making has really turned into a project. It is one of my own designs and I can already see where I should have done one thing different. It would be fine as it is, but I think I have a way to improve it.

I thought I had just one more seam to finish on Mum’s crazy block but the more I look at it the more I want to do. However I’m ready to call it quits for now and move on to my own crazy block. My rooms look like a hurricane when through them again; how does that happen? Actually there was quite a breeze flowing through yesterday so I can blame some of the damage on that. At one point my design wall blew off the wall so it is no surprise I have paper and fabric scraps all over the place.

So what to do next. Get started on my crazy block, clean up my mess or use my newly found Bonnie Hunter chart and sort through some scraps. I think before I decide I’ll pop over to the library to return a book and pick up another one I have my eye on.
