Sciatica

 

I finished the crocheted edging on Sue's table runner today. I still need to steam the lace edging. Once that's done, I'll give her a call to see if it's what she was hoping for.

I've been dealing with sciatica pain today, so I haven't felt like doing much. I did make a little progress on round 10 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day!

Lots of crochet

 

Today I spent a lot of time working on Sue's table runner. I really thought I could finish it today, but I have quite a way to go.

I did manage to quilt six more blocks today for a total of 36. I used quilt blocks as my break for all of the chores I needed to work through today. I only have 12 blocks to go!

Quilt day

 

Today was a busy day with lots of back and forth in the car. So, I didn't have time for much crafting. I did manage to finish another six quilt blocks for a total of 30. I should be able to have all 48 blocks within the next week!

Another sub day

 I was asked to sub in the morning, which I was happy to do.

During that time, I was able to finish a dishcloth. I really dislike having leftover yarn, so mismatched dishcloths can be found in my stash. I kind of like the funky look!

This afternoon, I altered a costume for one of the girls in the play. Then, I went into school to help daughter Carol put together her Wall of Recognition for family military members from our community. There will be three of these two-sided displays. This particular one will actually be a little different. Carol has already changed the arrangement, but you can get the idea of what she is doing.

I made a little bit of progress on Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. Any progress is good progress!

The view from my window

 

This is the view from my window by my sewing machine. I love it! I really love it now, because Dave spent a good portion of the morning cleaning it up. Yes, there is a lot of pine straw there, but all of the construction materials from the work we had done last summer/fall is cleaned up and put away. I kind of like the look of the pine straw.

I finished six more blocks for my patriotic lap throw for a total of 24. I need 48 (I think), so I'm halfway there.

Round 9 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026 is finished.

I've only done one pattern repeat of round 10. This round will take a while, but I think it will be an enjoyable round to tat. I'm using size 20 Lizbeth #647 Purple Iris Dk. 

Another doodad ornament has been added to my stash. I guess you could call this another successful craft day!

Unexpected

 

I really didn't expect to get much done today. This afternoon, Dave asked if I was going to be working on my quilt, meaning the one to go over the window. I really wasn't in the mood, but I decided get started anyway.

Now that I have the strips completed, I can connect the rows. After that, I will bind the outside edge of the quilt. I guess I'd better start looking for the shelf/quilt hanger that I'd like to have!

The unexpected part was what I completed of round 9 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. Mom had an eye procedure done this morning, and while I was waiting for her, I managed to nearly complete round 9.

Mom is doing great, and I achieved more than I expected!

Multi-crafting

 

I'm almost halfway through round 9 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. It's time to rewind my shuttles!

Six more quilt blocks were added to my stack today. I'm up to 18 with only 30 more to go.

The edging on Sue's runner is coming along nicely. I'm using size 20 Lizbeth #180 Honey Drizzle. This is about two hours worth of crocheting. This is going to take a while!

Another doodad ornament has been added to my stash. 

I don't expect to get much done tomorrow. Our day is filled with running around, and I'm okay with that. I do know that I will spend the day thinking of the things I could be doing!
