Saturday

 I call this a pretty tame day.  Not much happened but one thing that did happen was pretty important. 

First...
I finished another 100 burps and will take 200 to Ginny tomorrow.  Another 48 burps are in the box waiting for the next 52 burps to come along at some point. I'm in no hurry to make that happen since November which is tomorrow is pretty full of other things needing attention.  Some things really needing a lot of attention.  The 200 burps are in the car with a pretty sure feeling they will get to church tomorrow.  Doug usually asks at the church door...anything to carry in.  Tomorrow I'll say yes. 

There was a little football to fill in the cracks of free time while I was snipping fabric. I thought of Ginger Snap cookie making.  But I'm still thinking and the day is almost gone.  Oops...on today.

I worked on more Advent bows beginning to think  seriously about Advent.  And then here comes the important part!  I sat at the computer with my brain turned on and wrote down what needed to happen at every place we decorate which is the whole first floor of the church.  I counted six different areas.  This is such a great help for me and those who volunteer their help. Having something on paper helps me keep my wits in tact. There is always a busy happy rumbling noise with everyone ready to pitch in.  I hate to make people wait when they are giving their time so organizing is important to me. So, 95% of the decisions are made.  I always am not surprised when changes are suggested.  They usually are better than what I had decided to do.  November 8th the youth will move most of the nativities that are in drawers from the attic to the first floor. The attic feels like its almost to the moon with lots of steps. Heidi and I will do some organizing for November 22 after the first and second service when the parishioners will empty the drawers placing nativities everywhere on the first level.  This year again we will have some designated weekdays for open house in December.

Fall continues to happen.  I'm ready for a frost.  The seasonal allergies are upon me big time.  Usually Halloween is cold, maybe rainy and usually does not ever come with weather as we are having this year.  Tomorrow we're back to standard time.  Woo.  Maybe it will be lighter in the morning.  I'm always confused.  yes...fall back.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
