I have a mixture of household tasks and sewing tasks to be accomplished. This week I will:
- Quilt all my unfinished quilt tops.
- Do a tutorial for Stockings for Soldiers. On how to make the stockings, of course.
- Call to get roofing quotes. Yuck.
- Write up directions for the strip quilt for my school's Project Linus blankets.
- Put the electric blanket on the bed.
- Dust, dust, dust.
- Put new curtains up in the bedroom. Finally.
- Rake leaves. Rake leaves. Rake leaves.
- Take the casino bus for the day. Free food, $50 in free play. Yay!
- Make final payments on all the medical bills that have been dragging on for ages - physical therapy, MRI, and ultrasounds.
- If the hard freeze comes this week as predicted - pull up the pepper plants and pick the remaining pumpkins and watermelon.
One of the items has already been started. I finished up the quilt top I made yesterday. I added a fleece backing and tied it with some excess candlewicking thread I had. Unfortunately, the only matching piece of fleece I had was a bit smaller than it should be, so the quilt isn't perfect. (At least by my standards.) They'll be no picture taking of it, but I'll make another one (need the practice, ya know) with the correct size fleece.
A better picture was found outside today anyway. If that hard freeze shows up, these roses won't look nearly as pretty. But they sure are pretty right now.
