Today was a rough one. I worked in our church cemetery which we named "Fall Clean-up".......I realized that I really wasn't cut out to do that kind of stuff.....bending, raking, shoveling, did I mention bending. I was sweating all over the place. My back ached. I eyesight got a bit fuzzy around the edges. I head was spinning and that was just an hour into the project. By 3PM, I was completely wasted. But when I came home, grabbed a shower, took a nap, ate a snack, I managed to paper-piece 1 label. Now, I'm for bed.....later!

ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had a HUGE day. Good on you for attempting any sewing at all! I'm sure you'll have a good sleep tonight! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous thing to do! I hope that you get a great nights rest and do not suffer with stiffness to badly tomorrow. You have inspired me with the labels. I have not made one...bad me...but I know this will be a great way to stashbust my bucket and serve a great purpose. Thanks again and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHope you've rested and feel better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great ideas for labels. I'm going to make some to have on hand. Usually I think about a label after the quilt is gone!
Oh My! I bet you were tired! I'm not cut out for that type of work either. I'm an "A/C type Gal"
ReplyDeleteOh girl! I know your pain! I've started cleaning my friends house in Teague again. Have not done it in almost a year. 3 hours at the PO then 61/2 hours at her house! It was a "2 Aleve" night!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself! We have a great weekend coming our way!

Geez Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing that you didn't just fall asleep of exhaustion out there. Someone would have come along and just roll you in somewhere thinking that they forgot your box! You deserve a break today. Don't make me come up there...Monica
