One step forward... two steps back!

 I stitched my second red hexagon at lunch and figured, I can whip stitch these into a twosie. So I stitched away.

Oops! Guess I get to unstitch these and try it again!

So, this was Sunday night looking over from my recliner. Bear was toasty warm and snoozing. I covered him with the green tumbler quilt, and he promptly got up and laid on it. Aidan came through and covered him up with a quilt and he put his head down and went right to sleep!

Monday night, he requested I be on the couch with him. He snuggled up next to me and I covered him up. After a look, he got up and laid on the quilt instead. Emily came out and covered him up and yup, he went to sleep and was snoring and dreaming of chasing things. Spoiled dog. The cats were snuggled up in the master bedroom on a pile of quilts as well. Peanut might have snuggled under the covers with me last night. Ollie just was close by, he is not as into snuggling as his brother.

I started posting a list on the fridge of meals for the week and pick up times for the girl child, as the boy has a car to use. 

Sunday was the boiled dinner. 

Monday was meatloaf and mashed potato and peas. 

Tuesday is quiche. One spinach and onion and one cheese and ham if I can find some in the freezer. I have some pie shells that need using! Both kids are later today. Em has winter guard until 7:30 and Aidan has their last Academic meet at a different school in the county. 

Wednesday will be using the instapot for mongolean beef and broccoli over rice.

Thursday - they will probably have berber chicken kiev and I'll have either baked scallops or baked cod. I'll come up with some sides based on what veggies I have available. I might try a lentil salad.

Friday - Greg is in charge so it will be pizza!

Slow Sunday Stitching with a F1 race

 
I got a little hand stitching in this morning during the F1 race. I got 2 blue hexagons stitched. Then into a set of 2, and then into a 4 some with their pair I finished earlier this week.

Joining the other groups of 4. I need 12 for one side of the quilt that I am adding to. I have orange and black ready to become sets of 4, and individuals in green and red ready to stitch.

Chili the Elf flew back this year. I had him tucked into a little quilt by the phone, but Aidan changed it. It was freezing temps last night (yes, in Florida!) and this was to keep him warm!

I added ornaments to the tree yesterday. I can't reach the top so the angel is not on yet. The top part is light on ornaments as well. 

Bear was being a lap dog (he is at least 85 pounds) with Aidan. Grumpy boy actually smiled when he first plunked down. It took me too long to snap the photo. 

After not cooking since Thursday on Thanksgiving, I suppose I need to go shopping and plan meals for the week. I'm thinking a Kielbasa boiled dinner tonight. I've got cabbage, potato, carrot and onion to go with that. The kids are back to school this week with their fun schedules. 

I plan to finish decorating a bit and then will pin my 1857 quilt along done with Sentimental Stitches in 2016 for hand quilting in the hoop. I only made 36 of the blocks for my quilt.

Kathy asked about advent countdowns. I opened day 1 of Jenny's Countdown to Christmas box this morning. I loved it last year and it is fun so far this year. I also picked up a candle one from Aldi. 

Linking up with Kathy and the other Slow Sunday Stitchers.
