It was another busy week for me. I had a Dr. appt, for some headaches, I wake up with them, and go to bed with them. I had a head CT that was clear, so I guess it is my sinuses causing the problem and got a nose spray. I had a dental hygiene appt, but found out I am going to need deep cleaning, which will happen this coming week.
My daughter Katie asked if I could watch the two younger grandchildren for 2 days, Thursday and Friday while she joined her husband in Las Vegas where he was at a business convention. So I watched John and Klara Thursday and Friday. It involved getting them to and from school in two different school districts but we did fine. I didn't think of getting a picture while they were here, but this is a fairly recent one of Katie and the kids.

I worked on Klara's sloth wall hanging while she was here. This was intended to be part of her BD present from October, but my embroidery machine rebelled and ended up in the shop. These were from my Accuquilt sloth die. In one of their examples they had "hang in there" on their wall hanging. I asked Klara if she would like that, or she had some other phrase in mind. She told me she would like "Its temporary". I have all the blocks done now.
I hope to finish this up, and give it to her for Easter.
This week I also worked on a lot of slow stitching. I got the binding on, and sewn down on the Blessings Quilt but don't have a good picture of it yet.
I also finished up the my project for the International Embroidery Month Stitch Along by Crabapple Hills Designs.
When I went to San Diego, I gave my friend a mug rug in which I used one of my Kathy Schmitz's embroideries. I decided I really loved it and started another one.

This is what I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching.
I also had a chance to get caught up on Woven Wreaths stitch along by Kathy Schmitz.
That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by!
I've had horrible sinus issues this year too and have been told the pollen started earlier than normal and will be worse than normal
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your headaches, Karrin - hope the nasal spray helps. Your Crabapple Hill piece is lovely! I love that Kathy Schmitz design, too, and I also gave away the one I made. Great idea to make it again. Happy stitching today!

ReplyDeleteHeadaches...ug! My husband has had to cut out on nuts or pay the price with headaches. The weather changes also affect him. Your embroidery projects are so pretty - I can understand why you're making two! Love your SAL!
