Weekend Wrap-Up

The retreat is over and all worked through nicely.  I was apprehensive.  This year I am the board chair.  It will give me good practice to not do things as I have done in the past.  So far so good.  Still alot of work to take care of details that I think are important for things to run as smoothly as I like.  And our board is smaller than normal, so the work is being doubled up.  But we soldier on!

Nothing got scheduled on Sunday! And some catching up got done!

I might be ready for Wisest Sister's visit.  After a trip to the grocery store.  Actually, the trip to the grocery store is necessary before her arrival.  I need lunch fixin's and toothpaste.  That is how behind I have fallen. Toothpaste!

But her room is ready for her.  Just like the Marriott...without the maid service.  Sort of.  Cleaning Gina does come on Wednesday.

Don't laugh.  It's a perk I have earned.  And it helps her out, too.  And that's my story about that.

The biggest thing though?  I got the nine patches for Grandbebe Bean's Quilt pieced.  I have to cut the sashing pieces (pressed and ready) then will piece the nine patches with the embroidered Mother Goose pieces from 'Great Aunt' Dearest.  Of course there are steps after that, but I am just looking at a few at a time right now, to keep from being overwhelmed.  I think it's the best way to get this task finished.

And I think I have decided, once I have this quilt sandwiched, I am going to allow some spinning and/or 'real' knitting to go on the needles.  And by real, I mean, not dishclothes.  Which I love, and need, but oh so wanting to something else!

OK.  I am biking to work, and have to hit the trail.  See how back to the regular routine!
