Day 6 of Staying Home

Today is Wednesday, March 18.  It is Day #6 of our "Stay at Home" time in response to the coronovirus that is spreading through not only our country but the world.

Nothing really on the schedule today---like there could be.  Well, no children coming over to walk goats since it was raining.  No appointments since we are not going to them now.  No need to go to a store of any kind because we did that yesterday and Matt picked up some eggs for us when he was out and about today.

Here is the rundown of our day at 6101 N. 1000E, Three Arrows Farm.

Late sleep in day.  We weren't awake until 9.  But then we were awake in the middle of the night for an hour or so...tv on, me reading and painting by number.

I am trying to clean out a cabinet or closet or drawer each day.  Today's focus was the master bathroom.  I cleaned out two shelves in the linen closet.  The top shelf is full of sheets and I didn't think it needed to be re-arranged.  But the towels did and the shelf below them did too.  We get into a rut with using the same couple of towels so I rotated some of them from the back to the front, re-arranged the stacks and came up with some extra room.  The same thing happened with the next shelf of supplies and extra stuff, like bags of q-tips and emery boards and travel sized items.   I worked on the side cabinet in the bathroom too and cleared out some things.

Next was the sewing stage of the day.  I listened to country songs on Alexa and worked on Nick's quilt.  All of the squares are sewn into strips.  All of the strips are sewn together for the most part.  I sewed the lower edge of the quilt and will do the top edge, then sew the two larger sections together and sew the side edges.  It will be ready to wash, dry, and fluff, then wrap!  Done!

The next project will be trying to machine quilt the Cubs table runner.  I think it will be a 'stitch in the ditch' type of quilting.  I hope there is some extra Cubs fabric in the drawer so I can cut some binding strips to finish it.  Amanda will have a nice birthday gift---only a couple of years late!

After that I am not sure what the project will be. It might be Christmas table runners so I have a head start on those.  It might be cutting more squares for Tessa's quilt for her doll.  I promised her a 'sew day' while they were out of school.  I am sure I will find something.

Breakfast - English muffin with peanut butter and jelly - my new favorite (give it a week and it will change)

Lunch - none for me, just wasn't hungry

Dinner - biscuits and gravy, the rest of the orange jello with pineapple

Tomorrow we might order a take out dinner from Sandwich Shop.  I feel bad for the local businesses that are taking a hit because of this shutdown.  We are trying to support them occasionally.  

We watched The Good Liar tonight.  I KNEW that Helen Mirran's character was lying and would come out on top, but I wasn't sure how she was going to do it.  Very cunning.  

And that is all.
