Wonky blocks

A wonderful example of how to use up all those remnants.  The maker just wanted edge to edge quilting but the more I looked at this, the more the linen-coloured sashing screamed at me for a little more attention.

Remembering the maker overpaid me for her previous quilting, I took law into my own hands and did just something different on the sashing and I don’t regret it.

As for news on my deaf ear, I’ve started with softening the wax last night, will continue this evening and go to a local clinic to have my ears rinsed out on Wednesday.  Hoping for a good outcome.

Today is one of those hectic days.  I’ve made an appointment a week ago for a pedicure, not knowing how this day will turn out.  Then we were informed the youngest grandchild has a dress rehearsal for their year end concert and grandparents may attend as we are not allowed the evening of the concert.  Trusting this will finish in time, so I can still have my pedicure done.

Then, the part that bowls me out totally, is that the little one can come home with us after the rehearsal.  I am not sure what other grandparents do while on a pension but hubby and I lead rather busy lives with always something to do.  Once this little one is here, everything comes to a halt.  So, I had to start my little auto vacuum machine just after 4 am this morning, just to feel as if I at least did something.  I’ve started dinner, planned lunch for the little one and will mop the floor once the autovac is done.

With me quilting, I guestimate how long it will take me to finish a quilt and then inform the next quilter on my waiting list when I will be ready for them to bring their quilt to me.  Some of them wait for days or a week and I am sure will not be too pleased if I phone them and say they should come later.  Oh well, let’s take it one day at a time or as my daughter says, we don’t have much of a choice, it is not as if one can say “okay, I’ll simply skip Tuesday”.
