Really all I did today was the to do list, bake bread, and work on the weaving. I re-thought getting the cards done, and decided that perhaps this weekend when the weather is blah would be the best time. I would also more than likely be finished one of the scarves and perhaps have the second one warped and ready to go.
I am pretty sure that I will not be finished all the projects I had listed, but I think the only carry over will be the second scarf. Which really isn't that bad I guess. Definitely going to try and get as much done as possible before it is time to plant. We also want to go up and visit Kris for the Victoria long weekend. Perhaps give him a bit of a hand cleaning up his yard.
Decluttering is going well, I am now up to 215 items. Keeping my fingers crossed that more will either be donated, or tossed, or changed into something else entirely. Also will be using up all the fabric and yarn that I can. I might even make another set of ornaments (if I have enough) for the silent auction.
I have pulled some more embroidery projects that I inherited from my mother. These are dresser runners, and there are three of them. I am going to embroider them and sew those together, add a border and make a new tablecloth. I find myself replacing tablecloths very often. They seem to get dirty so very easily. I could also make a patchwork cover as well. Making fabric from what fabric I have collected from old clothing.
Nothing I am planning should really take loads of time, well other than the embroidery portions. To make matters even better, I could actually sit outside and work on a few of these projects.
Life is good and as I declutter, use up, remake, and simplify things will get even better.
Oh and tonight Harvey is going to BBQ the pork chops which is awesome.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
I love BBQ pork chops! My husband grilled hamburgers. It's nice when my husband does the cooking and the cleanup!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased you are getting warmer & sunnier temps Jackie. Your vintage linens of your Mums sound so wonderful - I look forward to seeing them once you've finished them. Take care Jackie (its turned cold here) xx
ReplyDeleteLike you our westher is all over the place, we have a week of sunshine, no rain, sadly the very cold northern winds are stopping us playing in the garden.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a lot of rain here, which we need, but is not my favorite! - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is a warm summer temperature! We have rain coming this weekend too. 215 items decluttered is terrific! The new table cloth sounds lovely. I just took our snowman one off the table and have it in the laundry to wash. It was replaced with one with more spring colors. BBQ Pork Chops sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow temperature is up in for 30s!? That's awesome. I know at this stage it won't stay but maybe that's also a good thing. Can you imagine how hot it would be in July if it did?
ReplyDeleteThe first BBQ meal of the season is always such a treat!
ReplyDeleteWow, 30C! We reached around 20C and I thought that was amazing. The newest weather models suggest the storm will go north of us, so I'm hoping we only see a bit of rain. Hopefully that happens for you too.
Glad you got some nice warm weather for a change.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of making a tablecloth with your Mothers embroideries. That would be so pretty and a lovely memory too. I'm decluttering slowly too, Robin's clothes, and things I've been finding tucked away. And the weekend trip up to the loft showed me just how much other stuff there is!
ReplyDeleteDear Jackie, I love pork chops! I am so happy that your decluttering is going well, dear friend. It feels great, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWe're not allowed to have a bbq here - fire regulations. Wish I could come and help you eat those pork chops!
