Non-stop Saturday

OK, most Saturday are non stop. However I actually got a lot accomplished today.

I started the day by going to quilt group. We meet the 3rd Saturday of every month. I don’t know how long I’ve been doing this, but I’d guess around five years. It’s great opportunity to form friendships, see beautiful quilts, and stay motivated to create more quilts.

I came home to a yard full of leaves and no rain. The weather forecast predicated rain. I really wanted to get the leaves raked before the inclement weather set in. Ross had the back yard raked. I set to blowing the leaves in the front yard. By 4:00 pm, we had 12 bags of leaves ready for city pickup.

Unfortunately, we still need to blow out some leaves in the back yard. With a bit of luck and weather cooperation, I’ll get this done on Wednesday.

Even though I was exhausted from picking up leaves, I was determined to buy some new yarn for a Thanksgiving project. In an effort to be kind to my checking account, I went to Michael’s with coupon in hand. I walked out with four skeins of Vanna’s Choice and a set of crochet needles for less than $20, not too bad.

While the yard isn’t my first choice (100% arcylic), it will keep me busy. I have done any crochet in years. I’m hoping my sister in law can help me remember everything that I’ve forgotten.

Finally, I made brownies for dinner. I have to admit it isn’t the most nutritious option. However, it made us happy. Of course we supplemented it with some other boring stuff like baby carrots.

Now I need to design a little case for my crochet needles before I lose them.
