We had a long weekend in South Africa with Friday and
Tuesday being public holidays and hubby closing the office on Monday… so an
extra-long weekend for us.
I did a little of everything and getting dressed every
morning was not necessarily part of this.
My All Stacked Up was loaded onto the frame and I
intermittently worked on that and it is nice to see the progress and obviously
advancing the quilt, knowing you’ve finished yet another chunk.
I’ve been watching You Tube videos by Dorie Hruska from
Forever Quilting to start to learn to quilt continuously without so many thread
breakages with having to start and stop frequently and I actually got it right
on this quilt with very few stops.
I made a label for my On Point quilt and continued piecing
my Labyrinth Walk quilt for daughter-in-law.
We took care of the younger kids’ ringneck parrot, while
they went on a biking trip, and this little lady can be rather demanding.
I am raising a baby dove that I found almost frozen outside
our office on the 18th and this one too needs plenty of attention
and regular feeding.
The grandkids came for a sleepover and I did some wax crayon
art on fabric (ala Kelly Cline) with granddaughter while Oupa had to entertain
Big Man.
We also took the grandkids to the annual Bloem Show which
turned out a full day event and seeing that DIL and I had a Vodka ice coffee
early morning, the day and entertaining the little ones seemed even longer.
I binged watched The Handmaid’s Tale, gave my cutting boards
a spa treatment, made new leader cloths for my frame, washed my hair brushes
and combs (something I’m really lazy to do) and in the end I at least have
DIL’s Labyrinth Walk, still as a flimsy, to show.
It almost felt like Christmas break but now I am ready to
get back to the office and my routine.
My ADD needs the structure!
Pragtig! Dit wil gedoen wees.
