Happy Black Friday
Our huge big event for this black Friday was a trip to the Curry Comb for hair cuts. Haircuts were sorely needed.
Last night I had taken out a very small beef roast. This morning after a trip to the basement pantry for a can of cream of mushroom soap, I set about getting our supper together. I had just enough baby carrots left to cover the bottom of the small crock pot. The thawed beef went in next covered with slices of onion. The cream of mushroom soup covered the meat and onions. I kicked the crock pot on high for the first hour and then the remaining day it was set on low. It is now 3:30 and when we came back from haircuts, the house smells like someone will be enjoying a good hot meal. It will be up to Dennis if he wants to do a batch of instant mash potatoes.
Dennis went to PT this morning and came home with four additional appointments over the next two weeks. Sweet. He is barely gone for 45 minutes for each appointment. Dan Kern really likes the improvement of the wound via the ultrasound bringing additional blood flow for healing.
My morning was in the studio sewing together the backing for Luella’s blanket. Securing the backing wrong side up on the two church tables has been started. Finishing that task will be for another day. Without using a quilt frame like Raymond had made for Lena would be the ultimate. Our tiny home does not allow for that. Getting the backing as taunt as possible via tape and thumb tacks is what is possible. The church tables are not as large as the quilt top, so I will be doing some hand basting once the sandwiching is complete.
This is not my first rodeo in the studio getting a blanket or a quilt into the final stretch. It takes time and patience and I have plenty of both. Havin no timeline is 99% of it. There is no one looking over my shoulder or asking questions. I work on the project until I need a break. Tomorrows work in my favor.
There is just enough of the sunny afternoon left to take a walk down Stauffer Avenue. A 52 degree afternoon can’t be wasted, especially when the darkness comes way too soon.
Catch everyone tomorrow.
