Day 4: I Cheated Once Again

Okay, I confess I once again cheated and left my house. I had to go to the Post Office, but it was a quick in and out to mail off a package to two wonderful little girls in Hawaii. Also I needed to go over to a friends house to oversee and pay for the power washing of her home.  She is stuck in MD because of all this Covid-19 mess. While I was out I decided to make one more trip to the grocery.  Glad I did because I finally found a 6 pack of shelf stable boxed milk.  Yea! I won't have to go with out milk in my morning tea for a very long time now. But today's trip out was my last one till who know when. All my excuses to leave home are used up. So I will tart my count down over again and lets see where I end up and where my community is 14 days from now.

I don't have a whole lot of hope for my community. While out today I decided to take a quick spin around one of the squares: Lake Sumter Landing. I drove by four outdoor bar areas and they all were crowded with people. Today they had to close all the pools because they were all crowded yesterday.  People where not following the social distancing guidelines. We now have two confirmed cases of the virus at our local hospital. So it has arrived.

Enough of the reporting. When I was home what did I sew today?  Last night before bed I went into my craft room and found a basket with pre-quilted squares that I had prepared for zippered pouches who knows how many years ago. So I finished them.   I also found some quilt sandwiches that Haven;t been quilted yet. Those will be dealt with tomorrow. Yes they are all Disney related!

When one unpacks a basket used to house works in process, one has no idea what might be found.  I thought I was done with pillowcases for now, but no I found one that I started several years ago for a class I taught on making pillowcases so I finished it. Also a Disney themed project. So I guess I got my Disney fix for the day.

As I finish all these projects the question becomes what am I going to do with them?  Some are meant to be given away to specific people. Others have no plan for disposition at this time. They will probably be donated or maybe I will actually do a craft fair this fall. For now they are just being stacked up.

Stay well all and do find something fun and maybe even meaningful to fill your days.
