A New Runner

I stayed up a little later than usual on Saturday night and got the table runner kit sewn. This one

I really like the way it turned out, and I do enjoy sewing with batiks. I like the crisp feel of them. 

I think the colors are nice and spring-y. Anyway, I am happy with it. Binding fabric was included in the kit. I need to get it quilted and bound before I misplace the binding fabric. 

I wasn’t able to sew yesterday. I spent the afternoon purging some paperwork, and I made another pass through my closet culling what I no longer wear. The donation pile on the guest room bed is growing. There are so many things that need to be done, and I feel like I don’t have the energy to get it all done. My son-in-law replaced the chain on my bike, and I was able to go for a nice long ride around the neighborhood. I feel like getting out and getting some exercise every day is the most important thing I can do to take care of myself. But, it is easier said than done. I also need to increase my step count. I have been slacking off on a lot of things.
