21 hours until the Retreat

I have added an additional two projects to take with me. One is a double sided fleece blanket for my MIL. It is in black and white. The second is a project from my LQS that will be a table cover.

Yes I am counting the hours, minutes and even seconds.

I know I will arrive too early tomorrow morning. Check in is at 10:00 A.M. I really want to leave the house at 8:30. I would get there around 9:00. Maybe they will let me bring in my machine and projects or maybe not. I have a great book to read and will sit on the porch that surrounds the building where we have our retreat. The weather is supposed to be in the low 80's all weekend long and sunny every day.

I am so stoked that I have completed several projects at work this week. I am on a streak.

Have a great weekend.

Recap of FNSI

I did participate in the Friday Night Sew In. I made 4 pillow cases for the Million Pillowcase Challenge. I forgot to take pictures and turned the cases into my LQS Saturday morning. Sorry there are no photos to share with you. Have a great day.

LQS 1 Year Anniversary

Seams Sew Easy in Fairfield, OH celebrated its fist anniversary today. This is the shop that also participates in the Million Pillowcase Challenge. To help them celebrate I purchased the fabric for 6 more pillowcases. If I get them done before the end of April I will have two more chances in the prize drawing.

It was quite a celebration with a CAKE that was beyond description and of course made of CHOCOLATE! I wish I had time to get a piece but I had to get back to work.

Have a great day.

Million Pillowcase Challenge

Yesterday after work I dropped off my six pillowcases. I am now entered into a drawing twice (once for each three pillowcases) for a prize. What is the prize? I don't know.

My LQS is having their 1st anniversary celebration this weekend starting with a grand opening today at noon. I am fortunate that I work less than 1/2 mile from them so I will be doing their celebration during my lunch hour. I cannot wait. Only one hour to go.

Last night I worked more on the Studio Makeover. There is so much stored paper that needs to be separated into recycle, keep or shred. I have all the documents from the five years my DH and I ran a trucking firm. We went out of business in 1999 so I figure that if the IRS or the NTB would want anything they would have contacted us by now. All of that will be shredded.

Then I will start a very big fire. I am burning all the shredded documents a little at a time. Sure hope we have a cool evening ahead for the great bon fire. DH is afraid I will start a chimney fire. He wants to clean the chimney first. DUH. I will take a mirror and look up the chimney first to make sure that there is no tar on the sides of it. If is clear I will fire up with no fears. I have lived with wood burning fireplaces since I was 5 and I will not admit how many years between then and now.

Have a great day.
