Slow Sunday Stitching

This week has been one of those weeks I haven't felt I have gotten much done.  Our excitement this week was our air pump deciding to go on the blink.  It was working, but running all the time, not cycling on and off like it usually does.  I was able to get someone out the next day and found out it was totally out of refrigerant.  We did get a nice discount when we signed up for a maintenance program.  We might have to get new coils at some point, but the leak was fixed and the refrigerant replaced.

Late last week a former coworker called and asked if I would quilt a baby quilt for her second grandchild.  I had done the first grandchild's baby quilt years ago.  She had inherited blocks her grandmother had embroidered and with my help assembled it into a quilt.  This time, she embroidered the blocks herself, and has never embroidered.  Her stitches were very large, and one had come loose, but I fixed that.  The quilt top was also very wonky, but I managed to straighten it out.  I took a picture of the top, but neglected to take a picture of the finished quilt.

I did manage to get the binding done.  

Monday granddaughter Kyleigh came over for a farewell BLT lunch.  She and her dad headed back to MA for the rest of her junior year in nursing school.  

She brought over her old sock monkey  She was going to give it to Klara, but apparently one of the dogs got ahold of it, and ripped the stuffing out of the face and its ear was half off.  Klara apparently has always wanted a sock monkey but she turned up her nose at this one.  Kyleigh said she would "take it to Gramma to fix"

This is the result.  I told Klara the poor think had been in a dog mauling, and the plastic surgeon did the best he could.

I've been working on my Hearts On Fire Blog Hop project, and ran into a number of roadblocks.  I was trying to find a script font to use to cut some words out on my Cricut.  It took  me several days to make up my mind amongst everything else.  Then I was looking for a special picture, I came across it once in my folders of pictures on my computer, but they are labeled by month.  I ran into it once, but didn't put it on my desktop, so I had to search again!  

About 12 years ago, for my birthday I asked for family pictures with a professional photographer.  This was one they did of John and I together and I love it!

For Slow Sunday Stitching this week, I will be stitching on my Hearts on Fire Blog Hop project.  I need to finish the embroidery on this so I can assemble it.
