Well, today I don't have to go anywhere. I am going to work on cleaning my bedroom and clearing out my sewing area. I still have some sewing intentions to work on.

My schedule today:
1. Finish scrappy star quilt top.
2. Clean out blue box and move Christmas fabric into it.
3. Clear off cutting area, sewing table.

It is going to be hot today.

First day of retirement

August 10, 2018
Today is the first day of my retirement. There were some disappointments yesterday. I didn't get paid for my last two weeks of work because this pay period was the first pay period of the contract year and I didn't have a contract. Oh well I guess it is what it is. I did get a royal send off from the greenhouse staff with a delicious lunch.

It seems strange not to have to be somewhere today. Now if I can just get myself organized and start producing art and getting in some writing time each day. Just need to remember to blog each day.

I bought myself a retirement present, a Babylock Jazz. I have lusted after this machine since it came out but it was just too expensive. It finally was on sale for $599, half of the price at Carols. I haven't set it up yet because I don't have room, but hopefully by the end of today I will have space.

Today it is my intention to:
1. Clean my bedroom.
2. Finish scrappy star quilt top.
3. Bead one hour on Jill's moccasins.
4. Quilt 4 hours on Ryan's quilt.
