Daily Notes- December 3rd


 A few new additions to my Red Square.  The wool embroidered  Poinsettia and the wire wrapped glass tree.  The two gifts of flower and tree are from my Walking Buddy.  I dropped off a jar of that very  High Spirited Cranberry Relish on Monday.  The empty jar had the gifts inside. I am guessing my Walking buddy enjoyed her gift. Yum!

The phone rang at 7:30 am.  Trugreen was outside wanting me to join him.  To look at my lawn. He was already not happy as "you didn't answer the door when I knocked".  I said- "It's 7:30 in the morning". I was wearing my slippers, raincoat and pajamas. No idea what shape my hair was in.  He was no rock star either.  We discussed the absolutely dead section of the front lawn.  We talked about a lack of comments by the service providers who just kept fertilizing dead grass all season.  Not noticing.  Dead grass.  And now frozen solid.  In December.

I am giving myself a very big Gold Star for remaining calm and polite during the entire visit. I am still NOT sending a check for the annual service contract for 2021. Even though 80% of the lawn looks terrific. I might change my mind......... the 80% did look great this morning.

I managed to make binding and layer and quilt four out of eight potholders.  But they aren't square.  More like rectangles- sort of.  I am wondering if that will bother people- make it difficult to use them to grip hot pans in the oven etc.  I made only enough binding to do four.  I may trim the other four into actual squares and then add binding.  I got the corners wrong.  It's been awhile.  Since I did any binding. Of anything.

Today's word in Invent.  I might be using that word when we get to supper time.

I went back and trimmed the remaining 4 potholders to clean nine inch squares. Now I wish I had done that to all of them.
I cut more binding. I am going on line to see how I am supposed to make binding and going to make an index card with diagrams and instructions. No inventions.
