69 and 70

I got two more Granny Squares made this cloudy, dreary morning. 

That seems to be about my limit these days to sit at the sewing machine--and that's pushing it. I'm going to have to work getting on a more ergonomically designed sewing chair, I think. Or the remaining 50 blocks that I need to make for this quilt will be a long time coming.

Oh for pete's sakes!! I put my boxes out on the front porch this morning for the charity truck to pick up, thinking they'd get here before any more rain. I was wrong. I just looked up and it was raining straight down. So I ran downstairs and started moving boxes. Thank goodness for Sheryl, the cleaning lady. She helped and we got everything under cover before it got too wet. I bet you can guess what happened next: It stopped raining.
 
 Time to pop a Tramadol and plug in the heating pad. See ya.

I just looked, and my items are still sitting on the front porch in the rain. But they're in big plastic trash bags. I had put them out early--you never know what time the truck will come by.

Love your Granny Squares and applaud your diligence in making more and more. Might you change the design of the quilt, adding in tone-on-tone borders or something else and have your Granny Squares in the center and an outer border? That way, perhaps 70 blocks would be enough. Food for thought as you snuggle up with your heating pad.

Good luck with finding a chair that keeps you more comfortable. The blogger at Between Naps on the Porch recently got a new chair to help her back not hurt while at her computer. I think it came from Staples (I could be mistaken) but I know she left the chair arms off when she assembled it.

I'm just in from running errands and am almost a wilted puddle from the heat and humidity.

Hugs!
