That was some thunderstorm today. Short and powerful but not a tornado in our area fortunately. And of course, the rain started about 15 minutes after I watered the plants.
The nicest thing that happened this weekend was finding enough of my background fabric to squeeze out a border for my little wall hanging. I could have sworn I had a piece left but couldn't find it. That made me think I had used it for the last few strips I needed. Of course, what really happened was my brain dropped a critical piece of information and buried it under a pile of unrelated memories. Turns out that piece of fabric was hiding in the bag I took with me a week ago when I went to various stores looking for a possible match. It was my work bag that I used last Sunday, and I thought I had cleaned it out. Turned out I overlooked one pocket - the one in which I stuffed that fabric. You can't begin to imagine how happy I was to find that elusive piece even after spending a good portion of my time figuring a way around the problem.
Oh well, the solution will stand me in good stead in some future border. Solutions like that can be put away in a mental drawer and pulled out to be used when needed.
As long as I can remember what that solution was and in which mental drawer I stored it!
Just a thought about things being somewhere and you forgot -- last night I found the top to the can of bread crumbs. it had been missing about a week and I was using foil. I found it last night - in with the potatoes !!!! I'm thinking the brain cells are dying off faster than I can count.
