Sisyphus Acres

A little slower than I planned...

Well, the best laid plans....I didn't get to the blackmoons, the stencil or the bookcase.  I did get evrything completely ship shape before the folks came home though. 

We went to visit my friend Julie in VT this weekend to see her baby.  She has such a beautiful family, and a wonderful home.  We had such a great time catching up!  We talked about everything, and got onto gardening and preparedness.  We both discussed this part of stewardship and how we need to work to be prepared for long term emergencies.  I really have been working on stewardship, so this discussin was so fortuitous!.

I still have to make the stencil ~ just haven't had the creative stroke to do it.  I have been working on quilt repairs, have 3/4 of the repairs complete ~ YAY!  I also have been stitching on my cross stitch quilt top.

Tuesday night Hannah and I started our new exercise class ~ bellydancing.  It was great fun and a pretty good workout...and best of all it was free!  We will be going every week.

Hannah worked on making homemade Valentines tonight, got 1/2 ready for her class, plans to finish the rest tomorrow night.  They are really nice, and customized to each child...they are so sweet.

This weekend I have to make two quilt squares for a quilt swap ~ this is always fun, waiting to see what you get back.  I always make three, 2 to send and one to keep.  I have made a tablecloth out of them and I am making napkins now.  I will probably finish edging the tablecloth while I am at it.  Hannah and I are going to do the blackmoons either Friday or Saturday ~ Sunday I will be taking her to visit her dad.

Well, I'm off to do my bible reading, recharge and refocus for the bright new day!

see you tomorrow,

Val

It was very good exercise ~ so many stomach muscles used, but also upper arms and neck ~ and so much fun!
