Mistakes

I was so pleased with myself yesterday. After some time outside I settled in for a few good hours of sewing before dinner. I'm working on the leaf blocks and I got the corners sewn on all of the top leaves.
​

Then I pulled out the rest of the 2" squares and started drawing the diagonals. A truly mind-numbingly boring job. Thank goodness for a good audiobook.
​

Finally, I could start sewing the corners of the rest of the leaves (HSTs). This is where the profanities started. First, I discovered that I only cut half as many HSTs as I needed which led to tie discovery that I didn't have enough of some of the fabrics to cut more so I had to pick some additional green fabrics. Not a problem.
With the new fabrics I had to cut the top leaf pieces again and that's where I discovered that the ones that I had already cut and sewn were cut 1/2" too short! Next thing you know Chris is coming in and saying "What's up with the foul language? Also dinner is ready." 
After dinner I finished all of the recutting so, hopefully, this afternoon I'll be back doing some actual productive sewing.

Otherwise, all is well here. The weather is beautiful and things are blooming and greening up very nicely. We are still waiting on the last stage of our outside reno project, replacement of the porch railings. We thought it was happening this week but this week is running out quickly. It's not stopping us from anything except putting the porch furniture back.

​Chris is away this afternoon so I think I'll rewatch the Super Bowl while I sew. That will make me happy.
