paivansadeThe last two days have been just as great as the previous two. We have hosted easter* breakfast** for D's mother, which meant a bunch of shopping and cooking and cleaning. I am supremely proud of us. Also, we have been dutifully eating leftovers today and avoiding spoiling food. Look at us, adulting responsibly!
The Spring vibes are amazing. The whole neighborhood is blooming and sprouting, birds are being flirtatious, and bees are abuzz. Lovely. And not too extremely hot - just the right amount so that we can keep the windows wide open all day long.
I am over half done with quilting Szurak (the crazy colorful scrap thing). I've been going at it for over 3 hours today, and my thread broke only once. I am getting the hang of it, but also I have altered my quilting path to drastically reduce the amount of times that I need to move in the cursed direction, and that's the kind of lazy ingenuity I most pride myself on. So now that I have become more confident and I've picked up speed, it is very possible that I will be entirely done with this quilt (intended to be our picnic quilt) by the next planned food-truck breakfast on Sunday.
Also, I just saw a very cool looking jelly roll patchwork pattern today (hereabouts) and I think it would work with something I have in my collection. I might need to shop for the background... and also - I should not be starting new things before finishing two old things! So. It's just so that I don't lose the link. Right? RIGHT?
Anyway, the internal audit starts tomorrow, which pretty much means working full time for the next three weeks. I am worried that my blissful state will shatter. But maybe it won't.
*Pagan, godless easter
**Not even brunch, really...
