Chilly Sunday
Dennis asked this noon if the plants for the edge of the Koi pond could be put out. The way the raw wind blew my hair every which way on my walk this morning, I suggested he wait a bit longer. The night temps in the twenties could make easy work of killing off the plants that he has been nurturing all winter. Every once in awhile a bit of Miracle Grow crystals found its way into the water to keep their interest alive. The patio kids, aka: cats, must be getting older. Not one of the three raised havoc with the foliage this winter. They will actually look fairly decent when put out for their addition to the pond.
Someone is getting spring fever. When I took a break from the sewing studio to swap out some laundry, Dennis had the Windex bottle out and a ton of cotton towels. There was commencing of washing the patio slider windows. Dennis’ bursts of energy ebb and tide. How great is that!
I continue to work with hexagons for a quilt top. From what I can estimate is, the 528 triangles that my friend had cut will equal a quilt top of 56″ x 46″. I do believe the heft of the top will be from all the sewing thread. Tomorrow may be the day when the piecing will be done and I can spend some time going through stashes to see what I have on hand for a border. Dennis keeps encouraging me with the idea that I will have my very own lap robe with I settle down to watch some television in the evenings.
My situation with this project and all others is . . . I don’t want to leave things unfinished. To me starting something and then leaving it to go onto another task . . . it’s just not right. Being surrounded by UFOs . . . unfinished objects, is counter productive. I remain stimulated with my abilities and creativity by seeing the finished results of my energy, time and materials invested. Ya . . I would say that sums me up quite well.
It’s about closing time down here in the sewing studio. Today went well and tomorrow is yet to be.
Today was chilly while I took my walk. I am weary of my nose feeling it.
