I'm enjoying cooler Vermont weather from my normal hot Florida weather. I'm glad I came up to help out my parents as it is needed. My siblings have been great but needed a break, knowing I had things handled. They need someone here full time to assist at this point. I have a feeling I'll be up here off and on the next little bit. Flying home Wednesday morning.
They have been keeping me hopping, so not much stitching. I might get out her sewing machine and see if it works!
I prepped some sewing lines waiting at the airport for some 2.5 inch squares to hand stitch when a machine is not around. I did a few waiting on the kidney biopsy procedure Friday.
I cut a charm pack of pastel colors into squares, and added a bunch of a cream to a baggie for travel.
A few threads have been added to the cross stitch pumpkin while enjoying sunshine on the porch.
Handling medicine, blood sugar checks and insulin along with new home health vital checks keep me busy. Then the day to day care of meals, laundry and keeping them calm has been a handful. Laundry got done yesterday. Hoping to do a little cleaning today and remove more throw rugs that are a tripping hazard.
First up is a siblings (5 of us) meeting at my sister's after I get them settled in with recorded mass to watch this morning.
Good news - Aidan and Issiac placed 2nd with a silver medal in their National Skills USA Competition in Atlanta Friday.
he said: We had to make a glider launch holder part for a little Styrofoam glider. Our judges were people who work for Stratasys who are one of the big commercial 3d printer makers.
Great news for Aidan--;)))
ReplyDeleteEpic Grand Prix today--so many red flags etc...
Hoping your Father is feeling better and keeping comfortable...
take care hugs, Julierose
Congrads to Aiden and his friend--and you are doing what your family needs from you this week--and I am proud of you for doing that--but be sure to take care of yourself too-- as for the heat--it is 6-10 degrees hotter where my daughter lives in IL--than we are here on the east coast--???hugs, di
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are a much needed help up there! Hope you get a little bit of slow stitching time - those pastel four patches are going to be pretty. Congratulations to Aiden and his partner - how exciting to get the 3D printer as a prize!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you are able to give your siblings a break. Dealing with older parents is difficult and draining. Your cross stitch is very pretty. Congrats to Aiden. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThe skills of young people today are astounding. Congratulations to Aiden and Issiac. It sounds as if you are busy caring for your parents. Hopefully you get a little time to relax and enjoy stitching those sweet squares. I must say, that lilac tree is gorgeous. I suppose Vermont in the spring is filled with flowers galore and sweet perfumes in the air.
ReplyDeleteI love taking little blocks to stitch when on the go! I made entire quilt tops sitting at track meets!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are there. Congrats to Aiden!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are surely appreciated by your parents (and siblings) for taking care of things for a while. Congrats to Aidan and Issiac on their award!
