I have to run a few errands today. I was going to order from Amazon but it would take a week to get here and I am running out of stick glue and tacky glue. Guess that miniature studio took more glue than I thought!
Any plans for the weekend? We are going to Salt Lake City to run some errands tomorrow. Unfortunately for me, tomorrow is also the first day of the Global Connections live Sampler Platter. I will, however, be able to watch them for a week. There is also a session on Sunday which I will be able to watch live.
What is a 'Sampler Platter'? Well, Global Connections gathers several quilters for each day who will provide a 15 minute segments on an aspect of quilting they are known for. Basically, it's a 15 minute workshop which you can do with them. There's a handbook which is available prior to the workshops with list of supplies needed for each segment.
I worked on a few more pages in the current journal. (The pictures aren't the greatest but I'm not quite sure why the phone was so dark...and yes I did check the brightness which was all the way up.)
I'm about half way through the pages now. At the rate I'm going I should be finished with this journal by next weekend including binding it into it's cover! That's a surprise as I thought it would take most of the month!
We're almost at the halfway point of May. Can you believe it? How are your intentions coming along? Well, I hope! And how are you doing with your quiet time? If you haven't tried 'quiet time' yet, set aside some time to try it this weekend and see how you feel!
I'm reading book eight in the Helena Dixon's Miss Underhay Series. I have many more to go as there are 24 books in the series so far. When I need a break from this book, I am listening to 'Walking On My Grave', a Carolyn Hart's Death on Demand Series book. I have not kept up with this series so have many to go also. Thankfully, NYC carries many of them as an audiobook.
Which to do you like to do? Read of listen? For me one important part of listening is the speaker. There are some that I just have a hard time listening to and wind up reading the book. Others, I really enjoy. But to be honest, I like both listening and reading equally. I do, however, read on my phone. After years of lugging around extremely large book libraries, I have discovered the ease of keeping large libraries on my phone! And believe me, I do have a large library there!
Today, make some fun plans for the weekend and follow through. Check out to see if there are any flower or food events, maybe an antique car show, or go antiquing. Maybe a hike in the woods or a visit to a nearby attraction. Do something out of the ordinary and fun. It will set the tone for the following week...
Have a great rest of your day...
Talk with you on Monday...
