August 22 To-Do Tuesday

 The list from 2 weeks ago  shows much accomplishment.

  1. Put away my books and clear off the tables. DONE
  2. Figure out how to correct the printer off-line error so we can print stuff. DONE but got a new hard drive so am dealing with unexpected changes.
  3. Put away the clutter from the big ironing board. DONE then I promptly filled it up.
  4. Take some before and after photos. DONE
  5. Write up some blog posts. DONE 



  6. Sew up one yellow Bright Jane block. NOPE. NEW PLAN
  7. Fix the mitered corners on the center medallion of the Wedding Quilt.  PROGRESS
  8. Prewash the new fabric for Windermere. DONE
  9. Put up the Corn and Beans blocks on the big design wall and decide on a setting. There are so many options. Getting this to a flimsy will be my OMG goal for August. DONE
  10. Cut out a couple of Lucy blocks. JUST ONE AND DONE
  11. Launch the new How to Stay Married for 50 Years blog. DONE
  12. Find the new mouse traps I bought last week and set them. DONE 
That list took me 2 weeks to accomplish.  

One of the fun things about family visiting is we can learn new things. So I went shopping on line and bought a few new toys. And the many heavy rains we have been having this summer have turned the geranium flowers brown. So deadheading is my puttering task. 


These are the most amazing gadgets ever created for us senior gardeners. Well, for any gardeners. I did not have to kneel on all those rocks in years past. 



This week's list looks something like this:

  1. Write something every day 
  2. Blog posts. I got way behind this summer with people and events here so just jumped back in. I also quietly launched the new blog How to Stay Married for 50 Years. I will be posting weekly. Now to figure out how to create a button for it. 
  3. Get my flowerbeds looking beautiful again after many rainstorms.
  4. No playing games.
  5. Work on sewing up Corn and Beans.
  6. Progress on Wedding Quilt.
  7. Play with some 23 ufos. I pulled  out the 3030 box to see what is happening there so I can prep for the new Sweet 16 BOW. I will be using 30s reproduction fabrics. 
  8. Drink more water. A lot more.

That should keep me out of mischief this week. I have little girls here this week and they all want to earn $$$. I have a plan for that. 
Blessings,
Chris

    The padded bench is a true blessing to bad knees. My local DIL got me one several years ago for Mother's Day. I've thanked her for it several times!

    You did great meeting the former goals, hope the next list does as well, happy stitching!

    You sure keep yourself busy, even if it doesn't always go as planned. Great to see you and your Jane blocks on Zoom.

    We have a rolling seat for the garden. It even has a cu0 holder! Grandchildren find it entertaining to roll around the patio. To drink more water, fill a litre container and mark it with times, so you know at a glance if you are drinking enough.
    Have fun with the little girls.

    You make great lists! I just don't like water so my goal is at least one glass of tea each day instead of just Dr. Pepper

    Lots of things going on in your life. I'm with Alycia -- clean it up and fill it right back up. I should put that on my list too. (At least the clean it up part.) Your Jane is amazing. Hopefully your new hard drive will work well and make it easier to do things on the computer in the future. Have a productive week.
