Sunday 11 September 2022

A weekend off.

I marked myself as not available on the roster and planned a relaxing weekend.
Friday was busy with chores and study, and even though Tony had hoped we would spend some of Saturday busy in the garden, that didn't happen. (Thanks Chooky. LOL).
Saturday was spent doing a few small chores and zooming along with the Chookshed Stitchers.
I did not attend for the whole day as I have previously, I was in and out doing a few chores as well as stitching on my Lucy quilt top.
I added a few border blocks and even managed to get around a corner!
Here is a closer look at the corner. There are still three more pieces to add to said corner before it is complete, but that meant preparing some more paper pieces, in different shapes.
So I got on and did some of that too, but forgot to get pictures.
The reason for all of the chores between stitches was a planned BBQ. We had arranged it last week, before I knew of the zoom session.  My pal Debbie was the first to arrive, so I hopped back in to zoom just long enough to say Hi and let her see how friendly we are and listen to a little of the chat. She didn't get the full show n' tell and enabling/influencing experience, but she could see how it would be nice to sew along while chatting away and putting the world to rights. 
The weather did not play as nicely as we had hoped. It didn't rain, but the fog rolled in and out all day and it was pretty over cast as people arrived. No matter we girls looked after the salads in the kitchen and it took all 5 boys to take care of the BBQ. LOL

Today we do have some light rain, so no garden work today.
Leftovers for lunch and time to play.
I may keep going with Lucy, or I may start the shuffle game with my Churn Dash blocks....
Happy Sunday.

And

R.I.P. Ma'am. 

Long Live The King.

I couldn't make zoom, such a shame because it's always fun. Next time, hopefully! Lucy is turning into quite a pretty child, isn't she?

I am so impressed with Lucy! I remember when she was just a wee thing.
So glad Chooky was able to spring you from garden duty. That was a fun note Chooky sent your hubby.
The description of your BBQ makes me think of a couple of very old "I Love Lucy" episodes. This is just a Lucy-packed post, for me. :)
