A busy three days

I sewed together another 20 tote bags together on Sunday

and I did a bit of weeding. It was hard to weed with the humidity being so high. The sweat was just pouring into my eyes. I did finally get the Lenten Rose bed weeded. There was some thistle coming up and I wanted to get it pulled before it went to seed. Here is the before and after. Not a big change, but in person it does look a lot better.

I found a bunch of baby Lenten Roses coming up all over the place! I am going to have to make a spot so I can transplant them. I would like to have plants to take to my house I am going to buy when I retire. Here are just a few of the many I found.

I also weeded this bed for just a few minutes. I couldn't take the humidity anymore so there is a lot more that needs done.

I did run a couple errands and came across some wonderful succulents. It was all I could just to buy two. The pots didn't have drain holes so I repotted them and so far they seem happy. I also worked on finishing a gift for my sister for her birthday, but I can't show you it because she reads my blog. I will show you once she receives the package.

Friday we made our way to Meadville, PA for a show. I brought some cookies left from the ones I gave my friend for her wedding reception

and I made some double chocolate zucchini muffins

It was hot, but the venue was nice. Here is the merch booth and the stage

I feel like I am finally making a dent in getting things done. I laid out the next grouping of items that need fixed or finished - repair two pairs of jeans for my neighbor, hem my pants, fix a pillowcase, and finish two more tote bags.

I was at the merch booth and I saw this lovely lady with a big smile on her face walking toward me and I just knew it was my blogging friend and it was! It is like we have known each other forever! Her husband was so nice. Michael had gotten VIP tickets for them. My friend hung out with me a bit until the show started then came back later. She loved the crossbody bag I made her. I also gave her a couple project bags, some cookies and muffins. She gave me a hand bagging merchandise at the booth so we could talk a bit while I waited on customers. She brought me a bag of batting pieces big enough to make placemats and some more fabric for tote bags.

We plan on getting together again. We only live a bit more than an hour and a half from each other. I was having a bit of a rough time and she lifted my spirit! C, I am so glad you came! The band was to have another show on Saturday, but the forecast was bad so it was postponed.
