Slow Sunday

 It has been a busy last 2 days, but time spent with my girl and some winter guard Moms! Friday was the band trip to a pre season game in Citrus county. It was the first time the football team has won a game in over 3 years... it was called for lightning in the area after a 30 minute delay where we all had to go to the busses to wait. After they called it, the band had to go load their instruments into the trailer in their cases, and finish getting everything tucked away. I think they played the touchdown fight song 4 times...which is more than they have played it the last 2 years Em has been in band. Who knows, maybe we will win a game this season?

Saturday, I drove us to Orlando (almost 90 minutes away) for a guard class. It was a higher level than Em is, but she learned a few things in the 6 hours. She was exhaused after the first week of school and a late Friday so we headed out about 45 minutes early to head home. I think she picked up a cold over the week as well.  The first part I was playing on my phone, but then I did pull out some fabric and thread and got the purple shoo fly and the teal floweirng snowball blocks stitched while watching.

This was her before they opened the doors at noon. She signed out a practice flag and riffle from the Winter Guard coach to have for practice. She is in the marching band for football season but will try out for the Winter guard in November. The coach said she will make the team already.

After sleeping in until close to 10AM, (girl is still sleeping with the dog at 11:15) I am having a relaxing morning. At some point today, I'll add hand stitches to this Arkansas Traveller quilt that I did on the machine this week and get my first quilt finish for the year! I should have this completed in a few days. I think the quilt is around 70 inches square, but don't hold me to that. 

Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers.

As for starting something new..... I did open the little snowman stitchery ornament this week and seperate the single floss strands into like piles. Then figured out what color is what and laid them out on a sheet of peper and taped the whole lot down. How do others sort/keep track of threads in projects like this? I'm going to give this a whirl after I finish the binding above. A finish deserves a start =)
