Tedious
Some tasks with quilting are tedious. I am on track with what I had set out for myself for the schedule. After sewing on a border to the pieced top . . . the top, batting and backing are secure on my sewing table. I believe after I dig out my safety pins to begin securing all layers together may well be all the energy and time I will invest into the project today. Dennis helped out by folding two loads of laundry. We are either the dirtiest people or the cleanest people on Stauffer Avenue . . . the jury is still out.
It is a good thing I took my walk after lunch as it is nasty wet out this afternoon. The temperature states it is 60 degrees. It sure doesn’t feel like it. Having a sewing studio in the basement is great. This time of the year the comfort level when doing tedious things can be chilly. It’s not cool enough to have the furnace take the chill off of the fingers and I don’t care for blowing air from a heater on me . . . suck it up.
Dennis took one for the team and took entryway rugs and kitty blankets to the laundromat this afternoon as I headed out for my walk. A bag of quarters, a small fruit jar of laundry detergent and hours of waiting brings about a good thing. My walk keeps my joints and tendons oiled up for continued mobility. Swinging my arms as I walk pumps a lot of good blood to the brain . . . and my brain needs every bit of help I can give it.
If I heard the weather forecast, I could have swore I heard words like rain, sleet and road surface issues. I sure hope it passes us by. A full day of warm sunshine would be welcomed.
