I'll be picking up some stitching after I finish this post. I will probably add some applique to the sting of beads blocks in teal/aqua as they are the last 2 needed for that project.
I have a feeling they will go with me to the quick care later this afternoon with 1 or 2 kids for ear checks. Aidan can't hear out of one ear now and knows when the 4 hour Advil wears off. He does have a movie with friends at noon, so I'll take him after that, if he can stand it. He might opt to reschedule that and do the quick care. It took a while to figure out what quick care or ER is on my insurance plan. Ridiculous.
Emily said her ear hurt before leaving at 4AM on her 18 hour day to FSU yesterday. She has a high tolerance for pain and gets them a lot. If hers is still bothering, I'll pull her with us as well. I think they are both day 3 or 4 of ear pain, but told me late Friday for both. Sigh. They are both doing Advil and swimmers ear drops.... but it's not helping so must be an inner ear one.
Progress on the cross stitch. I forgot how long these guys take! The starfish is now done and below is a clam shell that will be outlined later.
I have one long seam to sew for this to become a top. I need to press it first, as a set of 8 rows and a set of 7 rows will be easier to press than the whole 15 rows. This one is a big one - 90x90. I got the last 7 rows stitched together yesterday - 105 blocks.
A couple of flowering snowball blocks got hand stitched the last few days as well. 11 more of these blocks to go to reach the 49 needed for that quilt.
Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers.
Oh, sorry to hear about the possible ear infections - those are no fun! Your starfish is looking great. We found some live ones yesterday at low tide - so exciting! Looks like your BITA top is coming right along. Great progress!
ReplyDeleteI hope Aidan feels better very soon. Ear infections can be so painful. Bless his heart. Looks like you have many fabulous projects in the works to keep you busy. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteLove all your stitching projects--you do keep yourself busy with your stitching even with a family to take care--not to forget--kitties, chickens and a big dog!!!! My son at 49 had an ear infection here a few months ago--he'd not had one since he was a year old--it took forever for it to go away and more than one Dr visit--I was thinking it might be allergies --pollen of some sort--I think it wants to rain--and it was really trying hard--but the Sun is not happy--and wants to come out!! Silly weather--have a great week--hugs, di
ReplyDeletetoo bad it sounds like they both have ear infections. I'm not a swimmer so don't know what swimmers ear does
ReplyDeleteLot of nice progress on your projects, Deb. I am plugging away at hand quilting Sunrise, Sunset--finished all the strip blocks and now onto the surrounding triangles..
ReplyDeleteI was happy to see Max V. win today--I didn't like Mclaren's manipulation at the end though...I mean what happens happens...the whole team is responsible not just the on track driver...just my opinion;)))--anyway-Tomorrow is my yearly MD appointment--then DH has to drop off his heart monitor on Tuesday and Thurs we are going out for dinner...busy week ahead....hugs, Julierose
P/S. Sorry to hear of those earaches--they are not fun at all--hope they feel better soon...
Beautiful projects! Hope the ear problems get settled quickly!
