I should have been finished this order a few days ago but I spent most of Wed in a Dr.s office with my MIL and yesterday I took the day off to enjoy a trip to Evanston with Brenda, my SIS (Sister in spirit). We went to Vogue fabrics and spent two hours pouring over the goods. I bought some new Dupioni colors and a few trims. I found a few yellow shades and odd colors I didn't have or had very little of. After Vogue, we stopped at Whole foods and had lunch before shopping a bit. I had a wonderful slice of whole wheat pizza that was very delicious and a mango green tea. I was so full I couldn't be tempted by dessert. I wish we had one near us. But then I would be broke for sure.We took the scenic route near the lake through Evanston and admired the huge estates. They were so beautiful and although they were very large, they were so inviting.I often find huge home to be very cold and boring but those established homes tucked away on wooded lots were wonderful and so close to the lake. I wish I had my camera to share them with you. Next time!
Now I must clean up my studio mess. Tomorrow I start painting one of my MIL's rental units. DS is going to help so hopefully we will be finished by Sunday or Monday because Tuesday morning I have a dentist appointment and in the evening I will be teaching the local quilt guild five CQ stitches. Then it is back to puzzle making so I can get all my IOU's made and mailed by next weekend. (fingers crossed)....... (Thanks for being so patient ladies)
The weather has become cool and a bit rainy so I am taking advantage of my indoor tasks without guilt. It is so hard not to play outside when the sun is shining isn't it?
Well, that is all I have for now. I am feeling the stress level decrease as I mark off my "To Do" list. Yeah!!!!!
Have a safe fourth of July if I don't get a chance to turn on the computer by then.
Next week or perhaps Sunday I will have time to share the fun package from my bud Terri T and update the Comfort Doll blog with new dolls and a letter from a shelter.
Hi Pat... Love the "B" purse..

Be Prepared ..... When I get a nice sized lot ready for the shops I breathe a sigh of relif and say "whew" that should keep them happy for awhile. then a few days later they are phoning me for more.. Well it is a good thing I know but it is a swirling circle!!
Your trip sounded like fun as usual....

ReplyDeletePat, I have been away from blogland visiting for a bit. Life got in the way - again! Your purse is beautiful, they will probably go so quickly, you will have to keep a batch in reserve! Had the pleasure of working on a few Comfort Dolls through Make Mine Pink and enjoyed doing that. Hope your 4th is a memorable day for you.
