Card making with Lynne on Monday - Once again, she had unexpected guests. Her daughter and son in law were visiting, they had originally intended to leave Friday, but were still there Monday afternoon. The shortest way to explain this kerfuffle was they were trying to order a custom shed to replace the one that burned down in April, and there were many unnecessary obstacles in that process. I spent 2 hours taking care of Lynne (like making sure she got and ate her breakfast) during this time. Lynne was also just having a really rough day: her previous house guests had gotten her ill, she decided that everything her son did meant he was mad at her (the fact that it was untrue not withstanding), not having a clue what was going on, and that I was telling her no everytime she tried to talk me into living with her to be her full-time caregiver. After all of this was taken care of, we sat down and made what is possibly the heaviest cards made out of just paper. They are pretty, but the design is 12 layers of cardstock. They cannot stand on their own, nor are they mailing friendly, but they look good. Next week, I have set myself up for potential disaster with a Halloween themed card that will require drawing a face on a candy corn.

Knitting wise, I've had 2 good knitting sessions. This month, the Saturday night Svengoolie movies are a double feature, so I knitted on the wingspan shawl during one movie and on the eclectic cable scarf during the other. I did a similar split during my Tuesday night TV drama block.

Thursday, book club was cancelled last minute due to a death in the family of the person who runs it. I went ahead and went to the bar we have it at anyway in case someone else showed up. No one did, but I had a good time working on things in my sketchbook while I had my beer.

Today, I prepped my pumpkin.
