Today we had a new Washer and Dryer delivered and set up. Our old pair were getting on to 30 years old and so it was time. I received some Sears Gift Cards for a retirement gift, and saved them for just this purpose.
We purchased a pair of front loading LG's and Wow do they ever use less water and dry and in record time. So far so good. I will tell you how I like them better after a few more uses.
We are getting ready for a big storm coming north from Texas. You might have a little laugh at this old video.
So I sent hubby out today for milk and bread so I will not have to go out tomorrow if it turns out we get as much as they are calling for (6-10 inches) in our area.
The first photo is a pair of socks that I am working on. My first pair using self striping wool. Kind of cool.
The next picture are a small sample of the embroidery portion of a quilt that I am making, Over the River and Through the Woods. I will have lots of handwork to keep me busy tomorrow.
Unfortunately if the weather is nasty I will miss guild tomorrow. I will however have more time to prepare the presentation on "Labels" that I am give at my other quilt group on Thursday. I am hoping however that the weatherman is may be exaggerating.
Hope the storm isn't as bad as they are forecasting! We are having a heatwave and it is very unpleasant, however if we can survive for a few more days next week is supposed to be cooler. Love the socks, the colour is great - and I love "Over the River and Through the Woods" too.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get as much as expected here in Whitby.
ReplyDeleteI knitted socks and watched the storm go through...poor puppy didn't want to go out in that.
I have front loaders too, and complained regarding smells after a while. I now use Tide HE and no more smells. It seems that because liquid detergents are petrolium based, they can build up mold in the air tight washers....
I miss soakings...
