upset with her situation and i was trying to help her via text messages i couldn t rake the lawn and plant grass seed as the company was scheduled to aerate the lawn that was done at noon i did do some cleaning and finally got the laundry put away i decided to try out the new brushes i bought for cleaning the windows i did one of the living room windows and am impressed with how well they work i still have a bit more to do on it but am happy with what i did i brought the tomato plants in the other day and am turning them twice a day they are growing fast now that they are in the house with lots of light sewing i spent quite a long time in the sewing room yesterday afternoon working on the doll s shirt i finished it i do not like the button on the shirt so will be looking for a flat tiny button for it it fits the doll well which i really like i added the red knit vest and do think it is a cute outfit i can now make 2 doll s blankets which are on the list for this month i have may s list made but need to look at it to see if i want to make any changes to it knitting i knit on the scarf last night and it is now 64 long i am going to cast it off tonight and weave in the ends i m calling it done thoughts we have had 2 emergency alerts in 5 hours a dangerous person is on foot in a community just over an hour s drive from here he is still at large with the police looking for him the first alert came at about 2 am and scared the heck out of me the 2nd one came as i was drinking coffee but i was better prepared for it i have started to take tylenol twice a day to see if it will help my sore muscles it has so far i will stop for a day or two to see if it the tylenol or if the nice weather has been kinder to my muscles my joints haven t been sore but that could change as a storm is coming in starting tomorrow i am feeling a bit scatter brained at the moment i have started jobs and stopped them i know they need to be done but other things have cropped up and i don t finish them when i have the time i know i am stressed and need to work on bringing calmness back to my life when that happens i do much better at getting jobs done in an orderly fashion today i have to get some groceries this morning write up the minutes and try to focus on one unfinished job this afternoon i will sew and if the weather is nice i will prune the rose bush tonight i will cast off the scarf weave in the ends and start a new project until the next time posted by ann at 7 27 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday april 27 2026 enjoying the outdoors yesterday was sunny and warm with a high of 15c this morning it is clear frosty and 0c today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 15c lifestyle i spent a good portion of the morning on the balance sheet i wasn t balancing and when i worked backwards i figured out it was an error when i moved money around i finished up the balance sheet paid a bill and happily put it away i was done with the stress from a stupid mistake right after lunch i was out the door to the shed i checked the rose bush and it is has woken up and showing some growth i will be able to prune it shortly i spent some time in the shed and put all the vegetable and flower pots but two outside i put the solar lights out and then started to figure out what i could sell at the garage sale i have a small pile of items to go i also cleaned an area for the salt to be stored i have a few tubs to get rid of and one or two to clean and use back inside the house i transplanted the tomatoes into bigger pots they will come inside today as they needed some time to absorb the water i gave them they were quite root bound in the small pots so i am glad i did the job the next time i repot them will be when they go outside on the deck the solar lights were really nice to look at last night one did not work so i need to look at it today i do enjoy the solar lights and am always sad to put them away sewing i did spend some time sewing on the doll s shirt i got the cuffs on and hand sewn down i also got the collar hand basted on my hands were tired from all the pinching i had to do while fiddling with the small pieces knitting i did knit last night and got 48 rows done the scarf is about 54 long i do like the scarf a lot the basket weave pattern gives it a lot of texture today i am rushing at the moment as i have to get ready to go for blood work at 7 20 am once home i want to do a few things in the house and a bit outside i may get to sew a bit i have to be at the community hall at 4 pm to set up for the luncheon tomorrow and then have a meeting after that i may get to knit some tonight after the meeting until the next time posted by ann at 6 34 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday april 26 2026 a day out of the house yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a cold north wind the high got to 9c this morning it is clear and 5c today is supposed to be sunny with a north wind and 12c lifestyle as i waited for daughter in law to pick me up i started to fold laundry i got some done as she arrived early i got into the car and we were off to the city we chatted and laughed and before we knew it we were turning off into lower sackville our first stop was at giant tiger a canadian store opened in eastern canada daughter in law picked up 2 flats of canned ham for sandwiches we make at the community hall i picked up a flat 24 cans of turkey for me they were on sale for 57 off we also bought ourselves new purses it was back in the car and off to halifax more chatting and laughing our next stop was the big walmart store it was grocery shopping time the big sale item was canned tuna which daughter in law bought 3 flats for the community hall they were on sale for 98 can which was another good savings we got most everything there and headed out once again our next stop was just down the road to a wholesale place we buy a lot of the food we need for catering dinners there this time we needed a lot of beef roasts for 2 dinners both of us were standing on the upright cooler arranging the roasts and pulling out the ones we wanted one thing we can be proud of is that meat display was way neater than it was when we got there by the time we got finished buying for 2 dinners the cart was full we checked out and decided to head home we stopped on our way home to grab a bit of lunch at tim hortons it was busy there as it as almost noon we were doing take out as we were going to eat on our way home when daughter in law started the car it said the small battery was dead she has an electric car she boosted it and made a mental note to tell the dealer this happened when she last visited me there are still issues with the system in the car so she takes it in for another session of work it is still under warranty we stopped at the community hall on our way home to unload as many of the items as we could it starts out putting things away and ends up with us bagging cardboard as no one does it except us we unloaded all the meat and a few other things at her house as she will smoke cook the roasts tomorrow for a catered luncheon on tuesday she took me home after that mid afternoon son and daughter in law arrived at the house to put the new lock on my front door it was a bit of job but son got it done we are all finger coded in and they have access into my house when necessary or if they come to visit me no more texting i m coming open the door i got weighed this morning and am down about 3 pounds i am happy with that and will continue working on loosing more i know that weighing less will help my joints i also feel better eating more healthy foods even if it costs more to have them my muscles have decided to cooperate and not be too sore i walked quite well yesterday which was a bonus this morning they are not too sore so i am hoping i will have some less painful days this week sewing i did get a chance to sew for about an hour yesterday afternoon i put in the 2nd sleeve and sewed up one side seam and pressed it open it is a pretty boring shirt but very basic for the doll s edwardian wardrobe it is a very finicky shirt to make as you add tiny sleeve laps and a 2 piece collar to it my hands ache as i have to pinch the pieces in place due to how tiny they are knitting i kept my hands busy last night knitting on the scarf i did 54 rows and have 330 rows done i will finish up the ball of yarn i am on and cast off the scarf it will be plenty long for someone to wrap around their neck i am really proud of myself as i have not bought any yarn and have knit donated 3 35 lbs so far this year thoughts the wind was cold yesterday it went right through you when you were outside it is still from the north this morning but it is supposed to calm down which will be nice it has been a cold late spring this year i think it s the latest we ve had since moving here a year ago the tulips and magnolias were starting to bloom this year the daffodils are just starting to bloom and the trees do not have their leaves out i really enjoyed my day out with daughter in law we had some really good discussions and some good laughs i needed the day away from the house and am ready for the quietness once again i come home ready to be alone and quiet i am so proud of how much yarn i have knit donated to date i still have 14 lbs of yarn left to go which i will not get knit up this year i am hoping to get a lot more knit with hopes of having 10 lbs knit by the end of the year i think it is a realistic goal i am plugging away at the fabric stash i sewed 3 9 meters so far this month i may get another 5 meters sewn if i have time after the doll s shirt is made i still have a lot of fabric in the stash and keep reminding myself it is less than i have ever had for many years today i have to do the balance sheet this morning i have to finish folding laundry and take out some recycling from the lock my goal is to get into the shed and get some items out for the garage sale i also want to put the tomato plants into larger containers as they can t go outside for quite a while i want to work on the doll s shirt in the afternoon and knit tonight until the next time posted by ann at 7 56 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday april 25 2026 half the kitchen is cleaned yesterday s weather was cloudy sunny windy and there was even a snow squall the high got to 7c this morning it is cloudy and 3c up from 1c at midnight today is supposed to be showery this morning with sun and clouds later on the high is supposed to get to 6c lifestyle after doing my stretching i worked on cleaning the lower cabinets they are all done i did get rid of a few things most of which came out of the drawer that holds the storage containers i spent time cleaning the outside of the fridge and the pantry door the pantry door had some dust on the bottom but otherwise it wasn t too bad i had to go and measure the corner desk in the sewing room someone asked about it i also took everything out of it and cleaned it well it is now ready for the person to look at if they come this weekend i was quite sore yesterday it was weather related my si joint is a bit sore this morning so i will be doing the big stretch to see if it is out or if it and a couple of muscles are just sore from the weather sewing i worked on the doll s shirt yesterday i got the tiny sleeve placket in the 2nd sleeve and one sleeve sewn in i had to leave the sewing room very quickly as i was having an anxiety attack i did not take any pictures of my progress knitting i knit on the scarf last night and it is about 39 long on thursday night i had 240 rows knit and i am now at 276 rows i will knit it until i use up the ball of yarn i attached last night thoughts the anxiety attack i had was caused by the thought of the old desk in the sewing room could be sold sooner than i expected i felt guilty and anxious when someone expressed an interest in it it has been in our homes for about 35 years and the spousal unit loved it i left the sewing room and did some mindless things until i calmed down i had a little talk with myself and am ready to let it go i am happy the bottom kitchen cupboards are done i did a lot of stretching while doing them as they require me to be on the floor as i did them i thought about what i need to replace my flatware needs to be replaced as it is about 30 years old and showing some wear i need to replace the bbq tools as they are rusting from old age i am slowly replacing all the plastic storage containers with glass ones i also need some kitchen tools to replace the old ones that are wearing out the top cupboards are next and i am working on a plan for them i do know 2 casseroles will go into the yard sale i have not used them for a few years as i reach for two others i will decide on what else i need as i clean each cupboard today i am heading into the city with daughter in law when home i would like to put the other sleeve into the doll s shirt i will knit tonight until the next time posted
