I decided to take the morning off and clean house - so I have a nice clean house for the start of the semester. There are a couple reasons (beyond merely wanting a clean house):

1. My piano lessons start this afternoon and I have a slight headache this morning; I don't want to make it worse by hanging over pans of soil that is full of mold.

2. The headache was worsened by the fact that I ran several errands already this morning and Every. Single. One. of them took approximately three times longer than it should. (And I still have the recycling in the back of my car because the city either moved or removed the bins and I can't find any. I'm going to call when the city offices open and ask. I hope the answer isn't "People started throwing trash in them so we are not doing recycling any more.")

Last night I did finish sewing the white strips to the colorful strips for the Jelly Roll quilt. Now (once I have pressed all the seams) I get to sew sets of colorful strips together.

Even though this eliminates some of the cutting I am not sure I like doing the long strip-seams; it takes careful pinning to get them to come out well.
