It is a rainy cool day today. I am being a wee bit lazy today and resting. I did get up and watch the last F1 race of the year this morning. Grandma came and picked up Emily for the day. Seems Aidan was up chatting with a friend online until 3AM and is quite tired today!
I should go sew the last 2 16 patch stars in the sewing room... but I think I'll put on a movie and do some hand quilting on the Bear Paw quilt today instead!
I did make some progress on EPP and Brimfield Awakening this week. I need to prep some more fabrics to keep moving on this as well. I'm planning to try this flat back stitching when I put them together.
I'm recovering a bit from my adventures yesterday helping out at a girl scout encampment. You can read about that here.
Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers. She has been a little under the weather and showed her medicines to get her through. My whole house is sniffling with all the colds going around right now or allergies. Emily likes the humidifier in her room to add moist air to help her breath at night and I'll mention for them to add vicks rub on the chest to help clear out the airways with that strong menthol scent. I got more Sudafed, that works great to dry out a nose for a good 4-6 hours and she took one this morning before heading to Grandma's. We are out of my favorite Cloverine salve to add to the outside of the nose to help sooth from all the blowing, so are using Vaseline instead. Lots of tea drinking and spoonfuls of honey are happening around here as well. The kids are off school this week for the Thanksgiving holiday so plenty of time to rest up and feel better.

Lazy Sundays are the best; a movie and a little quilting. Enjoy your day.
hope all the runny noses stop soon - seems like it is constantly going round your family
After your day yesterday, you deserve a resting day! Some hand quilting or EPP sounds really good. I think I'll cut some squares and hand-piece a little mug rug size mat for my November Table Scraps project. Enjoy your stitching!
Good that they have time off to recuperate before T-Day!! We are driving up to my duaghter's new digs on Friday morning to meet up with all the grands and my Son and his family--it'll have been since before Covid that we were able to do this--so looking forward to having a fun day...also there will be two dogs in the mix!! What fun to be the Grand-mere and just sit back and let the younguns do it all!!:)))
I need to decide which project to begin hand quilting on in the evenings...perhaps the blue/yellow Ojos for these dark gray days...
hugs, julierose
Hope you had lots of rest and relaxation yesterday.
I forgot how my parents used to put vicks in the humidier at night!
I hope you enjoyed your lazy day. I have always liked Vicks with a humidifier to keep the airways open. As a teacher, I never had a full week off for Thanksgiving, only a 4-5 day weekend depending on the school district. Happy Thanksgiving!
