A Do-nuttin' Kinda Week

Some weeks are like that ... 

 

Three projects in the works, and little progress on any of them.  For one thing, I've been sleeping later in the morning.  That could be a good thing.  And I've been helping DH install mesh in the gutters before the temps get out of hand.  By "helping," I mean I hold the straps so if the ladder falls it doesn't break a window.  Forget about what would happen to him!  And I've lost an hour out of most days bleaching my teeth in anticipation of some serious dental work that starts tomorrow.

So here's where I stand.  Jack's in the Pond is together except for the borders which are cut and standing ready when the mood strikes.

The panel wall hanging-which-has-no-name now has three borders (sorry, no photo).  I shopped my stash and found something that I think works.  The forth border is wavy and needs to be worked on, and you know how I feel about sewing borders ...

And, finally, Passion for Paisley has progressed from a spark to an almost-finish.  I am putting a metallic gold flange in the border.

I have given up on the garden.  It has been too hot with no rain and even twice-a-day watering is not helping.  I get a handful of cherry tomatoes every other day.  The three Bradley tomatoes refuse to ripen.

I have also given up on feeding the birds. The squirrel has figured out how to climb the hook and the birds don't seem to like the "squirrel-proof" feeder I got as a replacement.  Add to that the mess they are making .... well, you get the idea.

It was a big mail week, though!  I was the lucky winner in The Joyful Quilter's 10th blogiversary drawing.  I requested a mug rug in red to go with one she sent me a couple of years ago in a swap.

On the positive side, I have been doing some organizing around the house, a little at a time.  And since returning from the TOALT I have lost over 10 pounds!
