Crossing things off the list

I had a busy evening trying to knock off a few things on my list. Had to go to Menards and Macy's after work. Menards gets their dairy delivery on Tuesday. They carry the best cottage cheese ever! Last time I was at the store they only had one container. I asked at the front desk why they get only a few containers. Well, they called the dairy manager and told them to double the order from 4 containers to 8. They also told me that Tuesday was the delivery day so I went after work and bought most of the stock on hand. I will be set for a couple weeks. Laundry was the first item I tackled and then started on finishing up the last eight thread beds. I have six of the eight ready for final assembly.

I gathered all my snap installation tools and put the snap on one thread bed. I can't show you it because I am mailing it to someone. Once they receive it I will post a picture. After getting the snap installed I got it ready for mailing. BTY - the new snap press otherwise nicknamed The Hulk by me, works great! It is so much easier to use than the hand pliers!

While I was at Menards, I bought a cooler too.

The sunrise was so pretty this morning.

No posting tomorrow. I have to go to a conference; this was mandatory. I have to go every three years. At least it is local and don't have to get up as early.

Thread bed zippered pockets

I was tired last evening so I didn't get that much done. I put together the zippered pockets for the last eight thread beads.

After that I turned on an old movie on TCM and could not get myself to move. LOL!! This morning I had some time before work so I started taping the body of the thread beds to mark the quilting lines.

I started a list of things today already this morning so that I make up for goofing off last evening.

More thread beds, some coin, and a musical

My day so far has been filled with techinal issues so I will try and get my weekend activites posted finally. I got another 20 thread beds done except for the snaps.

So in case you have lost track, that makes 51 ready for snaps.

The pieces and parts are ready for the last 8 which will be table gifts for the retreat I am going to.  Right now this is it!  No more thread beds!

It rained on and off all day Saturday. Sunday I did get out for a walk and found 81 cents, a golf ball, a dice bead, and a bag of screws. I picked up the screws so they didn't end up in someone's tire.

Most of my Sunday was getting ready to go to a musical. I knew two of the participants. The high schoolers did a good job, but the story was so lame. The show was three hours long! by the time I got home it was just past 6:30 p.m.

TGIF and thread beds

It has been a long, busy week and I am glad the weekend will soon start. I did get four more thread beds done except for the snaps.

Wanda, do you recognize this fabric? I had just enough left from making tote bags to make a thread bed.

One of my goals this weekend is to get all the things I need mailed ready to take to the post office Monday. Package prices are going up April 26th so I need to get this done.

More thread beds and stormy weather

Six more thread beds are done except for the snaps!  I think the polka dots ones are so cute!

Going for a long walk was not happening last evening because storm clouds were rolling in

So I stayed close to home.  I got about 20 minutes of walking in just going back and forth up and down the cul-de-sac road. It has an uphill grade so I got both uphill and downhill walking in.  The rain started and it was a quick dash into the garage.

Busy times

I had my wellness guru appointment after work. Then made a stop at Menard's on my way home since I was on the east side of town. When I got home I had to gather up the rest of the recycling and trash for pu today and sort out my supplements I got from wellness guru. Then I headed out for a walk which I walked longer than I had planned on. Didn't find any coin. :( I did get a bit farther on these two thread beds. They are ready for final assembly.

A little progress, cookies, and some coin

I didn't have a lot of time to sew. I did get a few of the pocket units for the thread beds made. They still need trimmed to size.

I made oatmeal raisin cookies for the guys at work. While they baked I did dishes.  That killed about and hour and a half of my evening.  I was quick to get compliments  this morning like "These are really good".

I have been trying to go for a long walk and for the past three days I headed up to the high school and middle school to walk the parking lots. It is a mile walk to the school.  On the first walk I found 3 cents, the next day I found a dollar, and last evening I found $3.10. $2.75 was all in one place. Looking for loose change gives me something to do while I walk. I do listen to music, but just walking can be so boring.
