my weekend...

despite some nice weather this past weekend, didn't venture out even once as i was joined at the hip with this project...


it's the senior center quilt that i volunteered to hand quilt and delighted to say it is done, done, done!  it'll be handed off to another to wash and get ready for giving.  unfortunately, the quality of the construction isn't fitting for an official QOV, but it will find a good home i'm sure.  it was hand pieced some time ago--none of our current ladies worked on it--and while quilting had to reinforce several corner seams and more may come undone with the washing, we'll see.  also had to replace 2 squares as i found holes in them.  i did manage to get some laundry done and pick up some clutter, though.  it was worth taking the time to finish.  now i've potholders to finish for an upcoming fair.  even with my little job, grabbing a few opportunities to make some cash going toward eliminating debt. ***  also this weekend made the decision to look for new housing.  am simply disgusted and hugely disappointed in having to do this.  it's a nuisance and costly as well.  two weeks after i moved in here, i had gotten a call from my first choice, which was closer to the shore.  even though i love this area and have community ties, the negatives far outweigh any positives.  it'll be years, of course, so i can keep working and continue to abolish debt. hoping my health isn't compromised any further.  plus the thievery is making me downright angry.  i thought i had left the homeless shelter riff raff behind me but apparently not.

  2. How good of you to hand quilt the quilt, Grace. That would take me years!
    Thievery? I knew you were disgusted with the smoking, but didn't remember that there were theft issues. So sorry!

  5. I understand the difficulties involved in finding a new apt. and then moving to a new location where you have to establish yourself. I am now in a new apt. and can say that it was worth the wait. I hope you will find a new place which provides you with whatever is important to you.
