Some days are busier than others. The dry air made the two-mile walk feel fantastic. I had a cup of coffee and my book on the patio table to enjoy when I returned home. The walk allows me to feel that I have done my body good and now it’s time to get the mind to enjoy a workout.
The clouds remained all day with very little breeze. Snuggles and I put in some time in the gardens. The ground is rock hard with huge cracks. Rain would be welcomed.
I had wanted to spruce up some pillows for a time. The “now” came about when Calvin and Lois brought to me a pillow that Mom had made using feathers. Lena always used the best of the breast feathers of the geese and ducks and the dense pillow ticking. Once I had made a pillowcase for it the remainder two bed pillows also received coordinating pillowcases. Lets hear it for using up three more yards of fabric in the stashes!
I am by no means a gluten for punishment, but I had to try out the embroidery pattern that went wonky on me yesterday. Using the Bernina flash drive the pattern turned out beautifully. The brand of flash drive named SanDisk may work in the sewing machine 99% of the time, but that 1% can sure muck up a project.
There are reasons when a sewing machine company markets their own flash drives carrying a guarantee.
It’s on to taking some patio sitting time and enjoying the evening.
