Hat Sold!!

I sold a Crunch Beanie in Funshine/Sky Dive to Beth in CA

~After final edits on the bulletins, I got them printed/folded inserted quickly. I also printed 25 bulletins for The Blessing of the Animals, printed a rough draft of the October newsletter, did some Brotherhood of St. Andrew paperwork, did some stewardship stuff, loaded 15 bags at the Food Pantry.

~I started a Roseburg hat in unknown Cherry Red.

~We attended Vestry meeting.

Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. Psalm 96:9

Lechuguilla Cave-Carlsbad Caverns-NM

~I don't normally work on Mondays, but I have DHT class on Wed/Thur, so I am working today/tomorrow, 9-5. I did alot of the stuff I normally do on Tuesdays, like working on the bulletins, Prayers & Oct. newsletter. Along with that, I gave a way one food bag & spent quite a bit of time on stewardship stuff. Trying to merge 2 programs(Word & Excel)did not work, so I actually printed out a pie chart from Excel, trimmed it with a paper cutter & glue-sticked it to the Word document, printed it & sent it via PDF for approval. Talk about old-school! But, it kept me busy all day.

~I added the last 5 squares to the Stained Glass lap blanket.

~Mike closed the store.

In remembrance...

...of Ms. Edla, who went to be with the Lord in May. She willed the scarf to me, along with a Dusty Rose suede jacket. I had never worn a scarf before, but did on the day of her memorial service. It makes me feel close to her now whenever I wear any scarf. It is paired with a solid denim dusty rose skirt( thrift shop), a brown t-shirt(thrift shop), the made-for-me burl oak bangle & hand-made rose quartz stone earring(a gift from my sister).

~We got groceries at Walmart & Smith's.

~Mike has the day off & we attended the 10:30 A.M. service. He helped Usher while I was Crucifer & Acolyte #1. We helped with cleanup after Coffee Hour.

~We helped out at CCW class. Afterwards, we went to the Hunter's for Mike to fix the DVD player. He did!

Scarf Sold!!

Garland of Blossoms scarf in Hydrangea/Black sold to Elena in NY

~Busy Saturday! It started out with the Quarterly Parish Planning Meeting, which consists of going over the church schedule calendar for the next 3 months, followed by Acolyte training, which for me was SubDeacon training, along with Thurifer training(carrying incense). I then spent two hours at Work Day pulling weeds & picking up trash.

~Back home, I worked on a Garland of Blossoms scarf in Mainstays Blue Ridge flowers joined with RHS Black. I also took several short naps ;)

~I made Mike grilled cheesy hotdog wrap for supper.

Quacks

The woman in the picture is deploying "layers" of protection: awareness, training, knife, handgun. Not shown are: pepper spray, cell phone.

~After breakfast, I made Paradise Bars & swept the floors.

~Busy morning with Family Thrift Center (long-sleeve cover shirts for me & Mike), Hobby Lobby to exchange the clockworks I got last week(too big)for ones that should work, dropped off Ginger Coconut bars for the Napa boys. I was going to turn in my aluminum for recycling,but the guy said he just got robbed! A cop was there & I'm just glad I did other things before going there. I picked up a few groceries, dropped off JF's food bag & finally picked up my black boots from the repair shop. The heel cap was coming off, which they repaired, but they also polished them up & they look brand new! For less than I expected, too!

~I made a Cheyenne Hat, holding one strand each together, Caron Simply Soft Gray Heather/unknown off-white fingering acrylic/mohair, adding a rose pin in Red Heart Supersaver Burgundy.
