Slow Sunday stitching...

 The kids are heading to Grandma's house for the day. I get a good span of hours all to myself! Well, hubby is home too but he will be relaxing on his day off too after putting on some outside lights on the edge of the roof.

Yesterday..... a lot of time was spent on errands - Emily had horses in the morning, then I remembered I had a cookie training... which was 2 hours!... followed by haircuts and a quick stop to Aldi to get things for 'Greek' night. I used some greek seasonings on some chicken tenders and put mine on a salad with some tomato and tatziki and feta. Aidan had his tatziki in a pita... and left me about 2 tablespoons! Em wanted potato salad so she made and ate that. We did head over to see the Christmas house that is all decorated up and set to music on a radio station. It seems Emily's favorite song is the Grinch set to the lights! There were about 8 other cars during the time we were there.

I did manage to cut out the clues for part 2 of the mystery while on the beginning of the training... and sat outside with the computer with the chickens outside for the last half.

Today - I plan to sew up the mystery clue, play with the new Accuquilt Go! cutter and get a little hand stitching in.  Maybe a little prep in the garden too. I 'should' pick up in the sewing room and my office as well, but we will see if that happens or not. I also want to make a batch of cookies - but the recipe for that is pretty quick.

The cat interrupted the hand quilting last night so I have 2 triangles to finish off block #6 of 9 on the Book Club quilt. I plan to finish that off and start on block #7. I was thinking of doing a stencil in the sashing... but I think I'll just go simple and continue with the outline stitching in those area's as well. 



Linking up with the other slow stitchers this morning.

I have to ask...what is cookie training? Hmmm. I have several thoughts. Meanwhile, busy lady, you are getting so much done. I'm envious. Book Club is progressing well amidst it all.
