Slow Sunday.....

It has been a very slow start to Sunday so far. I slept in.... and coffee was made when I got up!
Greg is off to work at the grocery store - with a mask for safety. The kids are home in their rooms - they each have some reading to do and Aidan has some homework to do that is due tomorrow. I let Greg explain to Grandma why they can't go over now that we are in a Stay Safer at Home order in Florida as of Friday. I made sure Emily called to let her know before Greg left for work...yes, she wanted to talk to me and I told Emily to hand the phone to Dad instead. I figured it would be easier for Greg to explain our reasoning to his Mom.

I really don't have too many plans today. I do want to go through the pantry closet and organize a bit today.... and see what I have so I can plan meals for a few weeks! It is fully stocked.... cause I always have a stocked pantry and freezer. It is just in my DNA I guess!

I will get some hand quilting in on my cat and mouse quilt. The butterfly's are done so onto the cheese in the light teal border.



I hope to get the inner circle of my EMD block appliqued down and then I'll back baste the outer ring.


I pulled fabrics for another EMD block yesterday and I'll plan to start EPP on those today as well.


I think it is time to pull out a puzzle to have out for everyone to work on. We have a few to choose from so I'll make a pile of the puzzles and see which one we will have out to make first.

We missed our daily hoops session yesterday.... so I'll have to get in a few rounds of HORSE with Aidan today. So far I tend to win the majority of the time!

I think we might try this bread recipe today too.

Linking up with the other Slow Stitchers as we are all working on social isolation.

sounds like grandma is being a little difficult - I hope she understands it is for everyone's safety soon.

Your fabrics for EMD are lovely! I finished my blocks last week I think! Today is my husband's 77th birthday and it will be hard not to see everyone to celebrate.

Very fancy appliqueing you'll be doing on that block--those little points--ohmygosh!! Not for the faint of heart...;000

I am STILL seeing a group of women all walking in a group down our street--what don't they understand about Social Distancing? not even masked...Oh, I see, they are "special"...and therefor exempt from the rules we all are supposed to be following Aaaargh...

I'd better get my hand quilting out to calm myself down...
Serenity now ~ ~ ~ waggling my finger at them Julierose ;((((

I hope Grandma will understand that you want her to be safe, too! Love seeing your quilting and EMD blocks. That quilt is going to be beautiful!

How lovely, a Sunday morning sleep-in. Your fabrics for the EMD project are lovely. Love the floral one.
