For those who want to know:
My son will be followed by a new therapist and had a change in meds. Hope this works out.
My DH has decided, on his own and without any threats from me, to let the chalet go. The so-called "great deal" on the chalet was the "friendly" price. Hubby thought it was the asking price and he could get a much better, reduced price, but no. The "friendly" price was way off what DH would pay for such a small chalet. So, yay me!
At work ... well, it's still a WIP.
For those who want to know about quilty stuff:
Last week end was a long week end here in Canada (too) and I was able to play with my sewing machine.
It took me the better part of that week end to finish the second corner of 365 Challenge.
Remember this?
After studying the pattern for a long time, as I have lost where I was and what was next, I started working on it again.
and Ta-dah!
My leader-ender while sewing the corner was this tiny little one.
Lynn from Klein Meisje Quilts shared a tip that I have adopted.
When cutting dark fabric, I started to flip them, like Lynn suggested, and cut them from the wrong side. The fabric is usually lighter on the wrong side. I do this especially when the pieces are small.
It makes the task so much easier. Neat trick! Thank you Lynn.
Now, for this weekend. Well, this past Tuesday was our first Artisanat meeting and my friend gave me a nice little bag of scraps.
Oooohhh! Lucky me. So much fun!My bag of purple/pink scrap is getting pretty full.
Guess I'll have to do something about it and get into the color of the month.
And I got from the library a few audio books. Hopefully, there's one I will like while I'm sewing to my heart's content.
Hope you all get to sew a bit too
;^)
