The Weekend Wrap-up

 

 

Another weekend has come and gone … it seems like yesterday was Friday!

 

Friday morning found me filing our state income tax return; I had filed the federal return earlier in the week.  I’m glad that’s all done and over with.  My afternoon was spent in the sewing room, putting together the pieced 9 patch blocks for my Irish chain quilt.  I watched T#2, T#3, and T#4 Friday evening while Mama and Daddy treated T#1 to a surprise early birthday present … Star Wars 3D at the movie theater.  He was still on cloud nine when they got home after the movie.  While I would have loved to have seen his face when they walked into the theater, I was glad that I could be a part of it by watching the littles so they could go. 

 

Saturday was a bitterly cold day, a perfect day to stay home.  I spent a good chunk of the day in the sewing room … those 9 patch blocks (scroll down to the bottom of that post) are coming together.  It didn’t take long, though, before I ran out of the strips that I needed (because I had sewn half as many as I needed … and twice as many of the other set).  I spent my evening ripping apart the blocks while watching the hockey game. 

 

Sunday morning was spent at church.  I got drafted to help out in the toddler nursery (they had 21 kiddos in there!).  I spent the afternoon sewing together the block parts that I had to rip out … got those all done, and now I need to cut a few more strips of the blue and sew together the sub-cut sets to finish up the 9 patches.  The Blues played again yesterday, so I spent the evening watching the game while working on the puzzle with DH. 

 

My weekend may not have been very glamorous, but it was a good one in my book.  My Monday looks to be pretty close to perfect … I’ll have T#4 this morning and most of the afternoon, and we’ve got 2-4” of snow in our forecast (and I’m hoping for the higher end of that range!).  Red heart Red heart Red heart

  1. My weekend went by pretty fast. Had a sendoff for the local Guard Unit that is headed to Kuwait for a year - but I have today off so hopefully I'll get caught up a little.

  8. It sounds like a good weekend to me. I think I need a hobby other than sitting at my computer for 8 hours a day reading posts!
