Slow stitching?

 I hope to get a little slow stitching in today. I do have some other things that I keep putting off that need to get completed today first. I need to log into work and move something into production this morning. I need to log into the girl scout cookie site and prep my initial cookie order for tomorrow and set up Emily's online order site. I need to prep training for the troop and parents tomorrow night. Then.... I need to finish tucking away the Christmas stuff, repackage the fall stuff into an empty Christmas big container from the cardboard box it is spilling out of, and pick up a bit for the AC guy to clean the unit on Tuesday. I figured he probably needs to be able to actually get in there and clean!

I do plan to do a little machine sewing, a little prep work on Hexagons and Endless Diamonds, and then some slow stitching to finish off the Endless Diamond block in process.



I need to cut out the white wings for the corners.

I have hand stitched a couple of Flowering snowball blocks this week and cut more parts out with my Accuquilt. I found I really only need to mark the white round half peel parts and the middle square. 

Dinner is in the crock pot - Carnitas. I'll probably just have mine with some pico, avacado and black beans. Yummy. I love having a freezer bag of this ready to pull out and crisp up in the oven for meals later.


The chickens. Em is cleaning out their coop and they are free ranging in the back yard. We have 6 or 7 of the 9 laying eggs right now. I think DC (Daisy Chickalotta) and Poppy are the two not laying. So far - Rosie's eggs appears small and white! She is an easter egger so we were not sure what color egg it would be. Lets hope Poppy's is a fun color.



Linking up with Kathy and the other Slow Stitchers.

Stay safe Hugs, Julierose

Sounds like a jam-packed day for you. I actually bought some pork shoulder last week to make carnitas. I love taking baggies out of the freezer for a quick dinner. Happy Stitching!

Looks like you have things prepped to take advantage of any free moments for some stitching! I've been wondering about Girl Scout cookie sales this year. There's a nice family in our heighborhood that usually comes to the door - will they be able to do that this year? Otherwise I buy them outside the grocery store - wondering if that will be happening either. The chickens look happy as can be wandering the yard!
