Stash Report Week #34

I touched fabric!

I even sewed four blocks.

But I also got my oldest ready for her first day of school (this Monday). My husband sniffled at the thought. I didn't. Does that make me a mean mommy? It's only three afternoons a week, and her teacher is amazing.

I taped and painted more of the stairwell.

I cleaned up after a mouse. A dead mouse. A VERY dead, smelly, rotting mouse under my sink, who was stupid enough to get caught in a mouse trap and then not be visible... stinky.

I canned with a friend: 11 quarts and 1 pint of applesauce. 4 pints of apple juice. Mmmm... I can taste it already!

That sewing thing is just hard as I no longer have a sewing room, just a 5' x 7' space in the hallway. Maybe next week.

Check out the other stash reports on Judy's blog.

It definitely does NOT make you a mean mommy. She's going to have an awesome time :)

Sounds like you've been busy! Life happens, and we fit in the quilting as we can.

A mean mommy? When our last left and made us "empty nesters', first thing we did was open a particularly wonderful bottle of champagne to celebrate having time again to be 'just the two of us'.

Enjoy!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
