I am almost to a point of being done and then I can sit and do a little stitching. I think I'll pop a movie on and work on hand quilting the trip quilt this afternoon. It has been a while since I have worked on it. I believe I am half way... and I really need a goal of working on this at least 15-20 minutes a day in order to get it done!
Tonight... I really do need to attempt that sheep pattern on Aidan's pillow. I'll have to keep track of counting while doing it so a rerun of a movie will be in order.
Linking up with the other turtle stitchers on this last Slow Stitching Sunday of this decade. A big Thank You to Kathy for hosting and for all the encouragement over the years. That nudge to try hand quilting, hand piecing, embroidery, etc have really been been a life saver to relieve stress and calm the mind in this crazy busy world we live in. Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2020. I plan to be sewing and stitching on New Years Day. The house is already changed out, kids will be at Grandma's and hubby is working. All day to SEW! =)

I hear you - today is a sleepy rainy Sunday - got a little bit done but wait for New Year's Day to put the xmas things away - mainly because both of us are kind of lazy about it :) The refrigerator got cleaned out and even tossed a few extra pieces of coffee cake out as we were tired of it. Time to get rid of any more candy I find in the house too - preferable in the trash and not in the mouth!!
Finding time to sew is important, just finding time for fresh air. I hope you get to make regular progress.
The exact opposite of my house this week. The little boys arrived for a week Friday night and the girls will be here soon for a few days of all the grandchildren. New Year's Eve is in this house this year and our son suggested they might sleep out in the trailer Tues night since it is parked in our yard. Hoping it does not snow too much.
Sounds like Aiden is a really good helper! I'm impressed that you are cleaned up from Christmas - I need to do that this week, too. I'll look forward to seeing your knit sheep. That looks complicated!
It is a miserable rainy day here today which means I will start putting Christmas away and hopefully spend some time stitching, though my adult son is still visiting from PA and he is not a fan of down time. There may be some bowling or ice-skating in my future today. Your trip around the world is in my favorite color. I hope you got some stitching done on it. That sheep pillow would be quite intimidating for me, but I do like it....especially with the blue background.
Turtle Stitchers? TOO funny!! Can't believe you've got most of the Christmas stuff put away already. That was fast!
You are so welcome! It makes it all worthwhile if it helps to being peace and calm to your life and your family. You have such a lot of responsibility and you NEED slow sunday stitching for YOU!
Love seeing the TATW progress!
