Midnight Mischief

Today was a good day, the pollen count was down and I felt like normal. I think it's also helping that the dogs aren't allowed in the bedroom since I washed all the bedding.

Tonight I finished the Midnight Mischief top. Remember I wrote the other day that I don't always follow the directions so closely. Yep, happened here. I sewed some of the pieced borders yesterday and when I finished tonight I went to put it on and it was too long. I'm like what the heck, how could I be so far off? I pulled out the picture, um, I didn't put the second border on. After I put that on, the pieced border was the right size. At first I had thought about putting it up in my cube at work but it's a little bigger than I was picturing...so after I finish it, I'm going to put it on the wall in front of my sewing machine. First I need to look through my stash Halloween fabric and find something for the backing. I'm not sure how I'll quilt it yet either.

Things will be getting busy around here after tomorrow so I'm not sure how much more sewing I'll get to do. There is only really one weekend in September that we don't have something going on. I don't like having such a busy schedule either, but we'll muddle through.

BTW, I actually got to drive the new car to work today. Don't tell hubby but I got a bunch of grass in the car. He had mowed in the dog kennel yesterday and it was wet and stuck to my shoes when I put the dogs away today. I did take the mat out and brush it off so he'll never know....unless one of you rat me out. ;0)
