Busy day today (Sunday) – although it started rather late because I lost track of time while working on this quilt and well it was 3 AM when I realized what time it was.

Headed out after fortifying myself with coffee. Got the new cutting mat. Got a new plumber’s helper (plunger) so I could fix the slow kitchen sink. Plunged and fixed. Must have been in shock from being clean for a whole week! really really really clean!

Did some heavy duty cleaning in the bathroom, but didn’t get to the floor yet. Had bought a gallon of vinegar and that works great on mineral build up and other weird problems.

Mostly though I worked on the winter panel of the quilt and started the last, summer panel. Got to use some of the sheers that I bought in NYC. It’s actually easier to rip them than it is to cut them, but you have to rip confidently.

All this ripping up of fabric is no doubt contributing to my mellow frame of mind. I find ripping fabric into strips to be very relaxing.

Last night I sent a request for help to the company that makes SmartMedia cards. In the last couple weeks I’ve had TWO cards go kaflooey for no particular reason. I’m down to a single 8 MB card which doesn’t go too far. I’m hoping that they’ll be able to tell me how to reformat the cards properly. geesh.

Night all – I’m giving up a little early tonight to make up for last night.
