I bought a new ironing board cover on the weekend, so while I was changing that, I figured I would do some sewing while I had the ironing board out. I sewed the borders on the pink and cream quilt blocks. This one has brown borders. I am not going to do quilt as you go I don't think with this one, as I want to put some borders on it. In fact looking at this photo a cream border will make it pop don't you think?
While I was sewing I had the radio on through the computer, never done that before, it helps if you have good speakers and we seem to have pretty good ones. Anyhow this song came on, "Lay It On The Line," by Divine Brown, it's another one to ask dd to put on my i-pod before gardening season. Do you listen to the radio through the day?
My mother rang me on Wednesday and we were talking in general and I was saying that I had been busy washing the kitchen floor by hand. Its not something I do very often, I generally use a mop and bucket. However what we were both saying is that no one would notice if I wash it by mop and bucket or by hand, and sure enough dh never noticed I had washed the floor!!! Still it felt good to give it a good clean. I moved the fridge and stove out and gave that a good clean behind there.
It was super windy on Wednesday as well. It calmed down a bit by mid-afternoon so I went outside to snow plow. First I had to shovel in front of the garage door as there was a huge snow bank in front of it. I was pooped by the time I had shoveled that. It was higher than my knee. I had to shovel it out of the way before I could get the snow blower out of the garage. One good thing though, I didn't have to kick the door to open it today.
Our driveway is a P shape, and due to the high snow drifts that blew in on Wednesday the curve of the P is no longer usable. The snow drifts are too high for our snow blower to go through. Luckily the straight side of the P is clear so that's good.
Did you remember to put your money into your pot today?
Today's Money saving tip:
Clean out your closet. Go through your closets and try to get rid of some of the stuff in there. You can have a yard sale with it, take it to a consignment shop, or even donate it for the tax deduction – all of which turn old stuff you don’t want to use any more into money in your pocket. Not only that, it’s often a psychological load off your mind to clean out your closets.
