But nope... I needed to finish this small baby quilt for Jack’s Basket so that was my focus during the week.
The quilting on this little "lovie" is from a panto named Promise! I think its a perfect name for this quilt too! 
This shows the quilting my friend Marva did and the dark binding I found in a drawer! It matches the fabric in the center square! Score!!! Oh, and look! This is might be the last of the Winnie the Pooh fabric!!
I might have done some sewing yesterday, but I took some time to put a few flowers in a small raised bed . I asked Mr Busy to turn on the water to the outside spigots. He did. I finished the plantings and watered them.
Then I went in the house to get some chicken out of the freezer for dinner. We have a extra freezer in the basement. Yikes!! there was water on the floor in my laundry room. And lots of water in the closet next to it. That’s where the water line comes into the house and it was dripping a steady stream. I hurried upstairs to call out to hubby and then back down to start picking some things up off the floor. You can imagine that the next hours were filled with moving wet stuff out of the closet. Using the shop vac to vacuum up excess water and general cleanup! Whew! We were tired!
Next week, I’m downsizing yet again! Getting rid of some of that closet stuff. We don’t entertain any more. I don’t need a chip and dip bowl set from the 60s! Or a potato ricer! Or a punch bowl! You get the idea!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy.
Your Jack's Basket quilt finished up so sweetly! I love the quilting and the purple binding! So sorry about the water damage, though - that's not a fun surprise...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt. Love the quilt design. Oh no on the water!! We've never had a basement but I did have a valve blow on my hot water line to the washing machine fail. We had just moved out of the house and I went back to get some things and it was a mess! Had to replace all the floor coverings but the sub floors were not bad, evidently caught it before too much damage happened.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish for Jack's Basket and my condolences on your leaking pipes. Water clean-up and forced "downsizing" is NO FUN, Judy!!
