It is almost my bedtime so this will be short. I talked to Dude tonight and he is doing ok. Not great, but ok. I think he knows why he had to be off work a whole week now.
I am making the weighted quilt. For those of you who have never heard of a weighted quilt, which I hadn't either, until my sister mentioned it several weeks ago, it is a quilt with poly pellets or other types of things used to add weight inside of a blanket or quilt. It isn't normally "quilted" and you don't use batting that I've read so far. I used a piece of John Deere fabric for the top. A coordinating blue for the back. You determine the weight you want to use and then divide the poly pellets between "pockets" equally throughout the blanket. I've had to use the calculator to divide ounces which thank God for calculators!! I am making a 4lb weighted blanket that measures 33x39.5". Each section will have 1.5 oz of poly pellets. I know understand why the costs of these blankets are so high. They are pretty time consuming and labor intensive, but I have confidence that it will get easier with practice. I hope to finish it by the end of the week. I will see if it looks okay and if it does, I may put it on Ebay and see what happens. I have learned a couple of things I will do differently the next time, which I seem to always do. I guess that is a good thing.
I have been in a really blah and hateful mood this week. Today was my first day back this week and I really didn't want to go today. I did though and it was a very busy day. Tomorrow promises to be more of the same. Oh joy.
Good news is that my sister and her family may be visiting this weekend. Brother in law has a job interview in Branson this weekend if all parties can be there. I refuse to get excited that he'll get this job, but I can pray and have hope.
For you folks who live in the parts that have snow and cold all winter, I admire you and question you at the same time. I don't see how you can stand being so cold for so long. As crazy as it sounds when I realized it was only 1 degree this AM I was just mad. I am so sick of cold and windy! The cold seems to penetrate my entire being and I hate it. I know spring isn't far off, but today it seemed like forever!
This is longer than I expected or intended. Time to get ready for some granny gown time. Take care and God Bless
Oh and when EasyDiary is up and running, I plan on going there. EWS is getting it ready and I'm so ready too.
Take care and God Bless
