In-spite of the rain,I have had a wonderful four days off. I am rested, renewed and refreshed. I have slept in, done little to nothing that NEEDED to be done, accomplished some things that were hanging about and generally just enjoyed my time off. This morning I was just deciding to get up and debating whether I would go out and pick up breakfast or would I make something here when Teddy Bear called to see if she could talk me into coffee. Twist went my rubber arm and I was up, dressed and out the door in short order. It fact I got to the coffee shop before she did for once!! We had breakfast, coffee, chatted and it was so nice.She is one of the one's with a pool in her basement. Poor thing, she was tired from shop vaccing, and moving and hauling, she needed a break. Its not as bad as it has been in the past but its still a lot of work.
We parted company after two cups of rejuvenation and verbally setting the world to rights. I came home and for some reason decided I needed to wash all the cat blankets. I try to keep my furniture covered as much as I can because she is a hairy little beast, who loves to smear soft fur all over my house, no matter how much I clean and vacuum. I have let the blankets pile up so today they hit the washer. I had to peel off sheets of cat hair, probably enough to create another cat or two before they could even go into the washer. I had a plastic grocery bag full. I swear, how she is not bald in a mystery to me. The best part is I can hang them all outside and they will be wonderfully clean and fresh for the next round. I also threw in her eating mats so Miss Minou will have all sorts of clean stuff once again and I will not have hairy blankets piled in the laundry room
Yesterday I finished the top for my scrap quilt for me. It io plain, unfussy but a good scrap quilt. Since I got my queen sized bed (thanks Lovely Bug Family for giving it to me) I have had queen sized sheets but no queen sized quilts. Now I will have at long last.
I may yet today get the backing pieced together. I have loads of scraps of flannelette from other projects so I am just going to sew some together for a back to use them up. Its just for me, after all and I am all about the using what you have on hand lately. Its funny but I made this queen sized quilt top, using scraps from my stash and now its done the stash box looks just a full as it did before I made the quilt. Yeesh. I am looking foreward to the day I see a dent in the stash.
Today, inbetween grappling with cat hair, I made a tooth fairy bear for Teddy Bear's grandson. He lost his first tooth recently so we thought he needed one:
I got his pocket on crooked inspite of pinning it, and I did not notice until I was done and taking his picture. ARGH!!! Stuff like that makes me crazy.
I should be out working in the yard but I have allowed myself to give that a miss for now. There will be time in the coming week to get at that. Besides I am watching the "Leave it to Bryan" marathon and I want him to come to my house!! I have a list of things he could do but since he likes to make the decisions, I would let him. Oh yeah in my dreams!!
Well I have blankets to hang on the clothes line and a quilt back to sew. Oh I love love love love love, my days off!!
Toodles
