Highlights of the Week: There were so many!
Wednesday evening, the boys and I went to a
park and watched a fun concert the city organized.
On Thursday, the boys and I drove to the
coast to play at the beach with some friends and escape the heat. It was a WONDERFUL day!
Saturday evening, my husband and I joined his
parents and their friends for a barbeque and to play cards. I made one person too many, so I played with
my January block and had a great time.
And, on Sunday, my husband and I celebrated our 19th wedding
anniversary a couple of days early. We
spent some time at the Portland Saturday Market, which is always a treat for
me. I love seeing all of the crafty
items! Next, we satisfied our curiosity
and visited Salvador Molly’s, a restaurant featured on Man vs. Food, for dinner.
(Though we did not attempt their challenge, we did get a small plate of the famous Great Balls of Fire (habanero cheese fritters.) I managed 2 bites, and even impressed my
husband with the large scoop of habanero sauce I took with my second
sampling. By dinner, I could even feel
my lips and tongue again!) And we finished our anniversary date with a trip to
Powell’s, my favorite bookstore of all time. I think I could spend a week or more in that city of books!
Last Week’s Goals (July 10-16):
Running: ??? 1-2 days DONE
Sewing: Cut leaves out and begin adhering stems and leaves to
quilt top. Purchase enough green thread
to stitch them on. HALF-WAY COMPLETE – I have errands to run later in the week,
so opted to wait to make than 40 minute round trip to buy the thread. Once I have the thread, I will adhere the stems and leaves.
Crazy
Quilt: Finish winter! It has been so tricky that I
have been rethinking my font idea for the word “January.” We shall see… COMPLETE! And “January” is well on its way – so far, following
my original plan.
Round
Robin: Mail block to its first crazy
quilter! I cannot believe my first round
robin through Crazy Quilting International
is about to begin. DONE! I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the
first block for me to stitch. (And I am
equally nervous – I want the block’s owner to be happy with my work, and I
REALLY do not want to mess it up!)
This Week’s Goals (July 17-23)
Running: 3 days – up to 4 miles
Sewing: Adhere stems and leaves to quilt top. Purchase enough green thread to stitch them
on. Crazy Quilt: Finish “January”
(the word) on the January block.
Round
Robin: Once I receive the first (of 4)
block, my goal is to plan my stitching and make sure I have the supplies on
hand to complete my planned work. I saw
a picture of the block and it is lovely, with some very soft colors. It should arrive within the next few days!
It should be another fun week!
