Quite the Day

Quite a few finishes here on Stauffer Avenue.

The free-motion stitching has been finished.  I have not even gotten a new blade in the rotary cutter to trim the quilt of extra batting and backing.  Another day will take on that as well as sifting and sorting through which fabric will be the binding.  As I said, another day may be waiting.

I won’t forget the cleaning of fuzz and threads in the machine’s top and bottom.  All of the stitching warrants a new needle as well.

Last night I did finish the counted cross stitch.  It is fairly small, 5.5″ x 5.5″.  Before I shut the studio lights off this afternoon, I did scrounge the cistern closet in the basement to see if I had a frame that would work.  There is a possibility with some creative juices.

I also finished the “who done it” book I was reading.  A cover has been cracked on a new selection for after supper.

In previous posts I had mentioned that our primary doctor had retired.  Dennis has one prescription that needs a refill monthly.  This is the week that I would have sent a message for that to be refilled and sent to Lewis Drug.  Before I could send a message, I got a phone call from the clinic this morning.  There are no providers in our Mayo clinic here in St. James that can authorize a prescription for a substance abuse prescription.  Well, well.  Talk about our home town clinic screwing the pooch.  I would have thought, some provider in the clinic would have had such qualifying license in place as per the clinic’s administration before it was needed.

I am staying close to the phone as there is to be a solution forthcoming.

Quite the day.

With that I take my leave.  ♥
