Yesturday I had a day off. What did I do on my day off you ask? I did a bit of this, a bit of that and a lot of stuff. The first thing I did was work on the paper work for adopting our family Vizsla. I have finally decided that we are ready for another dog. It's been three years that we lost Buddy, we miss him. The kids are soooo excited. Me I am excited and nervous as well. This breed is very active and we have been out of touch with caring for an animal for a while. I know it is natural and like riding a bike, but we have to go though the training all over again. If everything goes well we should have her by winter.
After that I worked on my journal and looked at some new recipes I want to try. Once I did this I figured that I couldn't procrastinate any longer, so I finished cutting out all the pieces for my Tiny Town quilt block number five that I started on Sunday. It's now ready to sew. There is a lot of work to be done on the bottom portion.
After lunch, made by my daughter, I worked on cutting out block number nine between doing other things. After sorting out and cleaning up my sitting area of all the stuff like the books and magazines that I had to deal with, I went back to cutting and finished block number nine.
Before I started block number nine though, I took a break to do something that I have been wanting to try for a while. I took a 3/16" piece of plastic that we had here and cut out the beach ball paper template. I cut it out using a regular jig saw and took a rough sand paper and sanded down the edges to make them smooth.
I was so pleased with the results, I went ahead and cut out the templates for the reconstruction Dresden plate quilt that I had and the reconstruction six-point star. It worked out great. Now I have the templates for cutting the shapes out accurately.
Today I have another day off and I plan to do a lot again today. Hope everyone has been enjoying their summer thus far. Have a great day.
