I made a list of things to get done this weekend in my planner. It’s now Saturday lunchtime and I’ve completed three of them: I have hard boiled eggs done (via Instapot) and in my fridge for fast snacks during the week; I’ve cleaned the kitchen (my adult son living at home is teaching himself to cook—has yet to teach himself to wash pots and pans and now he’s working all weekend and I can’t do anything unless I clean up after him—this will be a discussion point on Monday); and I’ve given the dogs baths outside on the patio with a hose. Well, I gave Auggie a bath. Spencer (aka Princess Doggie, aka Old Girl) barely let me wet her down before she started freaking out, and I made sure to use on her the warm water that comes out when you first start running the hose. She’s old. I let her get away with things now. Auggie, not so much, despite him looking at me the whole time with an expression of “But you let HER get out of it, Mom!”
I treated myself with a quick dip in the pool because it was extraordinarily steamy and I wanted a treat. But I got out as soon as I heard thunder.
And then it started pouring buckets outside.
So now I’m inside surrounded by Wet Dog Smell.
It seems like a good day to spend upstairs in my sewing room.
My fabric-related plans for the weekend are:
Finish cutting the mask kits I’m making for my friend (I have something like 13 left to go to get her to her original goal)
Finish the units in month 2 (I think it was) that was missing the piece from the Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt; I got the replacement piece in yesterday’s mail
Make myself another couple of masks as I’m out-and-about now and could use some.
Those were the only specific plans I have. I may have just added a new, fun/fast project to the list, though. I was toodling around on the web looking at quilty things and found this fast project from Better Homes and Gardens: Six Pocket Tote Bag. I’ve done variations on this before but when I was doing my sewing room clean-up a few weeks ago I found lots of batting scraps that would be the perfect size to use up on a project like this. So stay tuned to see if it actually happens!
