Sewing a memory game

Saturday

I got up after 8:30, surprised it was so late. Also pleased that I could get out of bed. I did not take anything last night. I took the morning supplements and read messages. I parsed out a week's worth of supplements. I took a shower and got dressed. I worked on the sewing project, pre-cutting the 4in squares of red and white. I packed a bag of scraps for the little squares.

I made and ate breakfast. I watched a podcast. I took the sewing stuff and went to the chapel. I put the plates and spoons in the kitchen. I checked the mouse traps. Saronna and her kids walked up as I was setting up the machines. I asked Sophia to help me. We set up 4 machines. Then a lady came with two small girls and her mother. The mother knew how to sew so she helped the girls while I helped the three Clark kids.

The project involved making memory game cards by sewing a small colored square to a white square, then sewing the red square RST and turning it right side out. I cut small squares in sets of 2 from scraps. Jenni came to finish her casserole carrier and then she gathered some squares to make game cards. I did not have enough so I had to cut more of everything.

As Saronna was packing up to go, I remembered the Halloween toys and brought them out so her kids could pick one. Then they left and I talked to Jenni for awhile. She finally got to use a sewing machine. Then we left.

I went home and had bean soup for supper, along with some rice. I listened to another podcast. I found some more white fabric to take to Project Night. Michelle asked me to bring the Christmas music, so I also took my trombone.

I unlocked the chapel and Jenni followed me in. So did Casey and Cedric. We settled in the fellowship hall where the sewing machines were still set up. Then MeryAnn came with a daughter that she borrowed. They cut open Crown Royal bags. Jenni worked on her stack of red and white squares. I was going to work on my panel project but it wasn't in my sewing bag like I thought. Casey and Cedric worked on a model car.

At the end of the evening, Mery helped me put away the machines and we all packed up. We chased a mouse into the fabric room but didn't catch it. We left and locked the door. Jenni pointed out a dead bird that probably broke its neck flying into a window. Pretty bird. The girl wanted to see it, but Mery wouldn't let her touch it.

When I got home, leaving my trombone at the chapel, I took the evening supplements and checked messages. I looked for the turmeric pain relief supplement and couldn't find it. I checked online to re-order and couldn't find the exact same thing. Then I looked in another spot and found it. I took two capsules. I looked at URU videos to figure what to do next for the following Game Night.

I worked on my blog, then went to bed.
