Day 226 of 2018

Wait.

What IS that? 

Oh, it's quilting.  It's been so long.

I would have finished this piece of fabric destined to be a little gift,

but I ran out of bobbin. 

 It will have to wait until tomorrow.

Day 225 of 2018

I am in need of a new pedicure. 

Yes, this color will do just fine.

Day 224 of 2018

I was hoping to get dress number four done before my daily picture deadline. 

When it was apparent that the deadline would not be met, 

I took a progress picture.  

I finished the dress about half an hour later.  

It occurred to me that the amount of time I was late

 is probably directly proportionate

 to the time I spent text chatting with my daughters.  

I would not trade that for the world.

Day 223 of 2018

Update on Little E's quilt:

While waiting in the emergency room with Mom, I finished the green binding. 

Little E will put a label on it later so it is officially off my plate. 

Next I have chosen to resurrect this long sidelined knitting project.  

The pattern is simple enough that it should be a good one for 

hospital visiting and appointment waiting.

Day 222 of 2018

Before I could even get to bed last night, I was called to go to the emergency room. 

As I left to go back home the sun was beginning to rise. 

As luck would have it, I also got to witness a sunset today.

Day 221 of 2018

Usually I only work on bindings at quilt meetings 

so I have a little handwork to take with me. 

I hadn't gotten that far until today, 

but tonight I got going while watching football and now I don't want to stop.  

I am hoping to make it to the final corner tonight and 

then it is a straight shot to the finish.

Day 220 of 2018

Sometimes Mom has trouble remembering what day it is. 

She requested a calendar on which she can cross out the days. 

Since her eyesight is not what it used to be, 

I made the calendar a really big one, a desk pad sized big one. 

I have taped it up on a closet door for best viewing. 

I hope this helps.
