Daily Notes from A Chilly but Sunny Day in Maine.

Stitched while watching TV.

I gave up on finding something that worked with that blue square and made this out of a long strip of cloth cut into rectangles....now the difficult part of adding another color.

1.  Today is Library Grocery Store....And it's also Stuffing the King Down Comforter into the Comforter Cover Day....this activity closely resembles turning the mattress- not flipping it- I used to do that but I was much younger---I turn it clockwise  so I make sleep dents in both sides of the mattress....while still only sleeping on my side of the bed.  I have a tall four poster bed- so the turns have to work with the four posts...  it's a geometry puzzle.  And only once a year....

2.   I haven't decided on a Luncheon Choice for the WEEK and we are going to the grocery store today.. Hot Dog Week was just "okay".  Perhaps it was my choice of hot dog brands.....I usually had lunch while watching a repeat of Antique's Roadshow.  Repeat Show and Repeat Lunch.

3.  I will be looking at the bottom shelf in the hallway of the Library today for a nice book to use as a canvas for some ART.  Removing the pages from the cover...using the inside of the cover as a canvas, If it actually turns out to be a workable "thing" I will take pictures of the progress.

4.  The majority of last week's books are going back unread...well, I read 10 pages...each...then gave up. In the final book, yesterday...I lost track of who was who and what was what and actually...didn't care. And the husband who was supposed to be "training to live on Mars"?????? whoa.  And there was an entire family speaking German.  It was "a lot".

5.  I am going to grab a few Danielle Steele books...they require very little on my part to keep up with the plot lines...

6.  I discovered- while looking for replacement ink cartridges...that the fat Mon Blanc fountain pen husband bought me in Germany is now worth 1K.  It's now "vintage:.
