Again on the roller coaster

 But coming into the station.  We went to a show at the casino Saturday.  I can think of a lot of better things I could have been doing with 3 hours and $91. It was just too loud for us.

A couple of friends suggested that rather than cutting my remaining pieces I let people know that they are available for sale.  It took awhile to find them all, measure them and photograph each of them.  And then having to put prices on them. Ar-g-g-gh!  But they were posted this morning on my studio blog, and one is even sold already.

So again my week ended up being very very busy, but there is nothing exciting in the week to come.  I would really enjoy a few days without hassle--other than to figure out what to eat for supper. My hope is that I find some actual sewing time in the studio rather than purging activity.  There is still some purging activity left in terms of cleaning up after the small scale sale I had last Wednesday.  I still want to make donation quilts.  I have two that need quilting and two that are done and ready to go.

But--there is a lot of housework pending.  The list in my BuJo is growing. But maybe I can get a couple of days to myself first.

We were surprised with snow this morning.  I had no idea it was in the forecast. Glad were stocked up on groceries last Friday evening.

Stay safe, ladies, especially if you get snow.

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

OMG! It's been almost a week since I posted!

  The priority over the weekend was concern about David's driver's license.  He got the letter on Friday telling him that his license was being revoked, and he was to surrender the actual license by today at the latest.  The letter also included some good information on options including a special assessment process called "DriveABLE.  David had to wait until yesterday to call them, but wasn't able to get an appointment for the re-assessment until May 3rd.  So, while we were out yesterday, he went in and "did the deed".  Sort of a sad time around here, but at least there is hope. This all meant a quiet week end, spent mainly at home, but this also meant a bit more studio time than usual.  A significant number of the pieces for the new EPP piece have been cut and put in Zip-loc bags for future basting and sewing together.  This will be my work for the group in Lorette for the foreseeable future.  Today was also the day for my monthly Zoom meet...
