Catchup - April 15th-20th

April 15th

Yeah!!! A sewing day with the girls at Sylvia's! Two with machines and two handwork!

I call these 1" hexies but someone says half inch.  All I know is they are piddly!


Edna is hand quilting!

YOWSERS!!!!!

Sylvia working on a table runner order.

Pat making placemats from dancing Inuit fabric bought in Alaska.

Here's a few more pics from today. Sylvia just about finished two table runners today but us three didn't finish our projects! 

My plan, if it works!

Ready for stitching together.

I can barely hold these hexies together! 

I love Pat's placemats!  I can't wait to see the left over pieces sewn together for an extra one for Sylvia!

Then off to Poké Mono for supper. YUMMY!!! I'm stuffed and tired plus a little sore, so relaxing feet up!

April 16th

Ohhh BOY!!! Wonder when I'll achieve a 3km walk in the future never mind these so wonderful longer walks we used to do!!!!! 


At least I'm getting out and enjoyed a 1.5km walk, after picking up Edna and strolled amongst the geese on the Sturgeon Creek Pathway.

April 16th, at half the pace of the above memory!

April 17th

Nifty for my "chicken crazy" family and friends!!!!!


How true! But they probably have a few replacements!!!


My rental rant!!!!

Obviously other tenants don't use rinse agents in the apartmeent's washing machine!!! I time my cycles and after 55 minutes Quick Wash cycle, I'm ready to switch to the dryer of everyday tees, pjs etc are sopping wet, rinse agent still in holder, so cycle stopped on wash somewhere. So switched from Quick Wash to Normal and after the 1.25 hours cycle it was finished properly. The bulky cycle with jeans worked also. The last Normal cycle of dress tees did not work so took a chair into the laundry room and reset again on Delicate and yes it went through all cycles. But by this time (3 washes took 5.5 hours) it was 10:30 (no laundry use after 9pm) so took items and hung them up in my apartment. I'm not happy.  

I've reported this twice since Christmas and was told it was fixed! Well obviously not!!! Guess my other washes worked in between as I always arrived as the final spin cycle was ending and machine shut off, unlocking!

April 19th

Today was a so-so morning so I picked up Edna for a Sturgeon Creek Pathway walk. I love this trail as it has lots of benches close together allowing for a comfortable walk for me with 5 stops and we went further too. The periodic buildup of pain in the hip was not as severe and released with rest stops. We saw this animal in the Creek, muskrat or beaver, couldn't see its tail or teeth. Lots of chewed trees along here with pussy willows bursting out too. Then this pair of Canada Geese who stayed put on the Pathway, so I carefully moved over giving them space.






Afterwards we went to Wendy's for their yummy and fast Taco Salad lunch, Edna was impressed and took some of her's home for supper!


When dropping Edna off I gave her the diamond quilt backing that I pieced together, matching the diamonds too!

GO JETS GO!!!!! ✈️✈️✈️

I got my new whiteout tee on too!


Damn I was too late to catch the beginning of the Jets fly over from my windows! Heard the ROARRRRR!!!!

Dang it's hard to watch with fans in white too!!!
