I was expecting a busy first half of the week … and I wasn’t disappointed … it was busy, just not in the way I was expecting. DD added a second shift on Monday to cover for a co-worker, had signed T#1 and T#2 up for a field trip to the Christian radio station Tuesday afternoon and had a hair appointment yesterday afternoon, so I was to stay late to watch the littles. Oh, I stayed late all right … and I watched the littles … but because DD has pneumonia. 
DSIL is off today and will be on mama and kiddo duty, so I have the morning “off”. In fact, other than a Prime Timers lunch at church later this morning, I’ve got the whole day free. It would be the perfect opportunity to get out and prune my knockout roses and butterfly bush … or I could stitch. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.
We were without internet and television for about 18 hours yesterday … that meant no email or blogs. 
I’ve put together my shopping list for our stop at Homestead Heart on our way to Columbia tomorrow … fabrics for Pam Buda’s Sew-Along. I’ve never done one before, and while I have always wanted to, I never seemed to find one that I thought I’d like in time to be able to participate. Her Market Day will be a small quilt (30”x30”), so it shouldn’t be a burden on top of all the other projects I’ve got going on.
Speaking of Pam Buda quilts, I oohed and aahed over Lesley’s beautiful Stillwater Creek quilt (she’s the one who gave me the heads up about Pam’s SAL) … she emailed me and offered to send me her pattern. Aren’t bloggers the best?
Tomorrow is Worldwide Quilting Day … alas, I may not be quilting, but I do plan to spend some time with my needle and thread … basting pieces on my Texas Star will be the perfect way to kill time between the Ts’ events.
Have a terrific Thursday!
Kathy
Oh I am so sorry she is sick. I remember when all of my kids were at home and I got sick like that.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are there to help her. I am excited about your sew along. I hope you get to do that all day today. It sounds nice.
Blogging friends are the best!! I agree with you1
ReplyDeleteIt has been busy for you. I hope your daughter is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your QAL.
Hoping your daughter feels better soon. Have a great weekend and enjoy your quilting.
ReplyDeleteGlad you could be there to help out yesterday... and you didn't miss anything online that way! lol Glad your email and computer are back and you are sharing your plans for shopping and national quilting day. Is your QAL a mystery QAL? Can you pick out similar fabrics at the store you are going to??? looks like it from the pics I saw before... How exciting to have a project in mind PERFECT for the shop you are going to! Have fun! Look forward to seeing your colors you decide on for the QAL :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteHope your DD recovers quickly. Sounds like you have lots of Quilty plan! Will look forward to seeing your sew along progress. Have fun at the quilt shop!
ReplyDeleteI'll say a prayer, Kathy, for your daughter's full and speedy recovery. Happy Quilting!
ReplyDeletePneumonia, so sorry about that. I will keep her in my prayers. Amazing what I can get down when the internet is down. Have fun shopping.
ReplyDeleteHave a blast in Columbia. I lived there for a long time and it still feels like home. Will they be swimming at Hickman? Try to get to one of the three Shakespeare's Pizza places. My FAVORITE pizza. There are a couple of nice quilt shops there, too.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Hope she is on the mend soon. I'd say a little pruning, a little sewing =).
ReplyDeleteHow can someone who quilts all the time NOT quilt on WORLD quilt day? ... that's ironic :)
ReplyDeleteHope your DD is feeling better and getting LOTS of rest. I'm sure you will have fun with the Sew-Along. Enjoy! ~Jeanne

Happy weekend!
So sorry DD is sick. I hope she takes care of herself and gets well soon. Hope you get lots done while you are on the road!
ReplyDeleteHope DD is on the road to recovery. Maybe you stitched while internet and TV out? May you find time to piece on National Quilting Day.
ReplyDeleteSorry your daughter is sick and hope she is better by now! I know you are glad to be close enough to help her and I'm sure she loves having you so close!
ReplyDeleteBeing without internet service stinks. First world problem for sure, but so annoying. Your daughter is fortunate to have you nearby. Hope everyone is 100% this week!
