It’s been hours and I haven’t gotten very far with this thing as I have no idea what I’m doing. On the bright side at least I caught up with everything finally and the schedule reconfigurations seem to be working.

Wanted to put the first decorative patch I ever made (trackies that they were originally on have been retired into the scrap box) onto the first quilt I ever made but it was slightly too big, so it’s gone on the equally deserving first (and so far only) quilt I ever patchwork repaired which made me realise that I like patchworking and quilting.

Adding more patches to Middle’s favourite quilt which became my first patchwork quilt (very old one that I repaired not one I made). Cats not helping. Too hard to work around, too cute to move. Ergh.

Wanted to make a tie blanket, found out polar fleece sheds microplastics. Natural materials apparently don’t work as well. Some 100% cotton fabric and bamboo wadding and quilting supplies later I’m accidentally trying to learn how to quilt.

Finally getting back on schedule (though ran slightly late today). I am very rusty. My new scissors are very sharp and iridescent and purple! ^_^

The brakes got hit as money haemorrhaged (we needed a new vacuum cleaner and some expensive medical shenanigans happened) which gave me a serious case of Veruca.

I “just” wanted to get more plants and some recycled rubber pavers to replace the concrete ones (the rubber pavers theoretically should move with the ground, the tree roots have heaved the path and one of the concrete pavers is broken and the rest of that part of the path is basically a constant trip hazard from end to middle and while gravel is the easiest option I also “just” want everything up that end to be barefoot friendly) because I “just” want the the yard to look nice for once.

Phew.

I almost feel like I’m back at school whenever I’m doing this, though at least here I know exactly what I’m doing unlike at school where I never could figure out why we had to “rule up” in a specific way. Also I enjoy my job, I hated school.

Think this is the fastest we’ve done it since they introduced the timer that we’re still ignoring til the end.
