FNWF and other stuff

I've had a spectacular week.  If you consider the fact that I've accomplished nearly nothing spectacular.

I did bake raisin bread again, tweaking the filling a bit.  It is quite tasty.

I had an over abundance of sourdough starter so rather than throw some out I also made cinnamon buns.  There's no photo cause they've all been eaten!  I took the majority of them to my daughter's house to be eaten by her family.  (She has teenage boys need I say more?)
That covers my two new recipes for this month but I think there will be more.

I decided this month that I would focus on one project on the machine instead of trying to do them all.  (I really do not like changing thread!)  So, I began the  week and Friday Night with Friends by working on the secret  squirrel project.  I had been laying out 10 rows at a time but with this segment it got confusing so I've been laying out and sewing one row at a time.  When those are all sewn I'll add them to the rest of that unit.  I stopped last night as I ran out of cut black blocks and even though the strips are cut I just didn't want to do that.  I'll continue on that project until the end of next week, at least.

I switched over to working on Ryan's Christmas stocking.  The Nutcracker is finished and I am working on the sweets that go around his legs.  It's slow going as I have to change threads -tie off, tie on- often but its coming along.

I stopped rather early as I was cold.  May decided to return to oh, March and my studio is chilly anyway.  I had neglected to turn on the heater so I just came upstairs and got ready for bed warmed by the heating pad!

I have a busy day planned today:

I have to change the back wheels on my lawn mower-one broke and I ordered replacements for both as I figured it was only a matter of time before the other one broke as well.  I replaced the front ones last year so I shouldn't have to do either of those any time soon.

Then, I have to mow. Or Quinn will get lost in the tall grass-okay not quite that bad but I can't leave it.

After that, I'm going to air up the tires on my garden wagon.  Might be a slow leak there, might be I should go buy the "never need any air cause they're solid tires for it?"  That will have to wait until more of the Stay Home order has lifted.

Then, I'll load up all the parts to the raised veggie beds I built and haul all the stuff out to the back corner to finish putting them together.  That sounds easy but probably won't be easy to get and keep it square, sigh.  When they are set in place I'll set about filling them.  I have a sneaky suspicion that I don't have enough dirt!  That will take another trip to Lowes, but not today.

The Stay Home order for the State of Missouri has ended but the one for Kansas City and Jackson County (where I live) continues until the 16th.  Some businesses have re-opened, including my quilt shop but masks are required as well as using the hand sanitizer they supply.  Since I am rather high risk cause hey I'm old, I will continue as if quarantined for a few weeks, at least, even after it ends.  I expect my fellow countrymen to go nuts with the easing of restrictions and then another spike will occur.  I have such faith in my fellow man!  NOT.  Recovery will take a really long time.

On that depressing note, I've off to begin getting stuff done!
