Someone turned 60 today in my household (it's not me - hubby is 6 years older than me)! His Mom is coming up for a lunch out at a local restaurant.
I'll be adding some stitches to the new cross stitch I started this year. It is the November design from Paula Vaughn's Quilts for all Seasons.
I'll also be glue basting a bunch of units for my Brimfield Awakening EPP I cut out earlier in the week.
I'll take both with me tomorrow as I'll have waiting time at the hospital with my FIL as he has a procedure. Hubby's back is hurting, so I'll go with and handle the waiting inside so he can go to the car comfy seats if needed. He has to be there for 8AM... so we need to go pick him up for 7AM and bring him there. A very early start for a Monday.
Another option- the QAYG hexagons I prepped last week as well. Plenty of options to keep my hands busy as I wait. I need to find our masks to wear while there. I know flu is running rampant and I did get my flu shot back in September. I managed flights over the holidays fine, but figure hospitals are even more of a germ area and don't want to be down for a week with the bad variant that is prevalent now.
Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers.
Good idea for the mask wearing while in hospital waiting room....
ReplyDeleteI finally sent for a new QAYG set of hexie templates--mine have gone totally walkabout!! I've been looking for a year now!! Soooo, needs must, right? I have so many batting scraps waiting and bigger chunks of fabric that would do really well...
Take care hugs, Julierose
Both lovely choices for quiet stitching while waiting. You are a wonderful DIL to help out like this, Deb. Lucky guys-both of them- to have you. Yes, do wear masks; a harsh stain of influenza is circulating here.
ReplyDeleteBoth are good waiting room projects. Why not take both and a book too. That way you have choices! Hope to procedure goes well. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteI’ve nearly returned to Crosstitch and I have to admire your Crosstitch order with those confetti stitches. I noticed you started in the corner of your design. I’ve always wondered if that’s easier than starting in the center of the design? I would love to have any tips you might want to share. I usually make three cross-stitch projects a year for my grandkids ornaments. I’m enjoying the learning process but have had to start over quite a few projects.
ReplyDeleteI looked at your post from June about your EPP project and wow that is going to be so beautiful!
Along with your prepped QAYG hexies, you certainly have plenty of options. I hope your father-in-law’s procedure went well and that your husband is in less pain. Take good care.
Happy birthday to your hubby! Hope you enjoyed the birthday lunch. A mask and a stitching project sound like a good idea for the hospital waiting room. Hope all goes well with the procedure, too.
