Yesterday evening, I added a few beads to the centrepiece of my challah cover. Then I started free-motion quilting. It did not go so well. I'm still picking out the stitches. Teeny weeny ones. I remembered to put the stitch length to zero. I think I forgot to put the tension to zero as well.
Oh well.
This morning, I started embroidering seams on the first of the two small wall hangings I'm doing. It looks nice so far.
We have a funeral today. A woman my age who has been battling breast cancer for at least 10 years. But it was still all too fast. A few weeks ago, the doctor told her she only had a few weeks. And that's all it took. It's awful, and it affects all of us.
WW today. Don't know how I did. Don't particularly care. I know I'm eating better so that's really all there is to it.
I was hoping to do some stitching this evening, but I may just park myself outside the shiva house to tell trick and treaters to skip this house.
