I prepped a bunch more of the flowering snowball and the shoo fly blocks for hand stitching while travelling. The pattern calls for 13 of one and 12 of the other. I have 12 of one and 11 of the other. It should be plenty to keep me busy while away.
I also weaved in the tails for the 13 dark blue granny square blocks. I'll start adding some grey surrounds tonight during the hockey game. I have the Brimfield EPP project packed and ready to go as well.
Right now Greg and I are at home without a vehicle. Emily took one to school for a summer marching band practice for a couple of hours. They perform at a Villages parade on the 4th of July. Emily won't be here for that, but I think she misses her buddies. Aidan took my car (she coordinated with him, since she did not want to drive my car!) and headed to his guitar lesson. He should be back in time for the hockey game tonight.
Time to put dinner away (Chicken Tikka Masala over basmati rice) and get out the custard for the ice cream and get that working in the cold mixer.
Looks like you are well-prepared for a road trip! Life is so different when the kids can drive. I remember missing all the car conversations. But you'll get lots of those on this trip! Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteYou should get lots of stitching done in the car while the kids do the driving :)
ReplyDeleteLots of prep work there--but always good to have projects to work on to relax here and there--is it scary to home and to know there is no car in the driveway?? I read you have lots of places to stop and see and visit on your trip and that it is gonna be a long one this time--poor Bear-he will miss you and Emily!!! hugs, di--oh I prepared parts for the other 6 Chicken blocks this morning!!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels on your upcoming vacation, Deb! Any fun stops along the way this year? I'm sure the kids are probably making plans, if nothing has been decided yet.
ReplyDeletePrep work is sometimes tedious but oh so helpful for projects on the go. Happy travels!
