Slow Sunday...

Why yes, it will be a slow Sunday! I prepped a few blocks at the last minute on Friday to take with me on my business trip. I plan to work on one or two of them today.


The #6 Ella Maria Deacon block was completed this week and I prepped the next 2 the ones with blue on the top left hand side.

I just did this block this morning! Love my little snowman in the center.


I also prepped a few of the umbrella blocks to finish off the blocks needed for that little quilt. Prep work was easier on that one - just cut the 6 inch square and draw the pattern onto the back of the fabric. Pull some fabrics for the umbrella parts and done! I am back basting these so the prep work is easy peasy.

I also put the scrubby yarn and a crochet hook into the bag.

Those projects should keep me busy this week while I am up in Vermont on my business trip. I also have the kindle loaded with books to read. Looks like a nice snowstorm will arrive Mon/Tues..... I get to test the winter driving skills! At least the drive to the office is just one exit up the road and not too bad.

Linking up with the other Slow Sunday Stitchers.

Yes! I stayed with my parents last night and will again on Friday night before I fly home on Saturday. I got to see 2 siblings and their families last night for dinner. Will try and squeeze in a dinner with my other sister this week as well.

Lots of fun and relaxing projects tucked in your bag. We are heading up north for Thanksgiving I am not looking forward to the cold weather but maybe we will get lucky. Happy Stitching!

Isn't nice when you get to pack handwork to keep you busy in the evening on business trips! And to get snow *and* family visits is a nice bonus! Where in Vermont are you staying? I have a lovely bit of family in the Milton area. We spent many a summer week up there when I was a child! :)
