Math error

The hazards of doing math late at night...

I forgot to carry a two, so my hours yesterday are really 7.25.

7.25, total, 118.25 total.

Beatrix Potter, I Drink Your Milkshake!

I finished the cross stitch. I have triumphed over the little bunnies and woodland animals.

This is all due to the fact that the kids had no school today. The Boy had a friend over, Middle went over to a friend's house, and Smallest amused herself with computer games and junky Barbie versions of classic tales.

Oh! I take it back. I have to sew on the little rings under the numbers that you tie the candy onto for proper counting down. I will have to go pick some up tomorrow for sure! At least I'm done with all the little animals!

5.25 hours today, 116.25 hours total.

Onward Ho!

The shadows planty things are done! It's on to the outlining. Perhaps it will be faster than I think. I started on Jemimia Puddle Duck and after only 20 minutes or so, I'm nearly finished with her.

No school tomorrow, so perhaps I can crank on the stitching. (If I can find a way to entertain Smallest)

Had a good time at the music store today. Like being in a chocolate shop, but nothing in there is unhealthy. Picked up the latest Lyle Lovett. The best album I've heard from him in a while - none of the songs sound like other songs on other albums.

2.5 hours today, 111 hours total.

Danger Kids!

This morning, Middle slipped on the top step of our stairs and slid sideways about halfway down. She's OK, but her shoulder is a little sore. Then, after school, Smallest slipped on an open drain cover thing and soaked her leg and boot. After dinner, while eating brownies, The Boy lost a tooth! An eventful day for all the kiddos.

I've almost finished the shadows!

No 2 am for me. Bleagh!

2.5 hours for me today, 108.5 hours total.

Programmed out

Well, the choir program is done, and I got to sleep much earlier than expected last night. Only 2 am! And I'm due downtown at 7:30 am tomorrow. So, it's off to bed for me.

Just wanted to report that I got in an hour of knitting on the subway and at other odd moments today.

107 for me.

Keeping Up

Well, another bits and pieces day, but I did finish the grass and bench on the bottom of the picture, so now it's on to the shadows and then the outlining. I still need to finish in about two weeks so the pressure is on!

4.5 hours Monday, 106 for me too! We're tied!

Foot cramp explained...

Earlier today I was walking around town and thinking, 'gosh, my foot is a little sore. I hope I haven't been running too much on the foot I broke in December. I'll have to take it easy.' However, after ~1.5 hours on the sewing machine, I think I've discovered the source of the problem...

Anyway, I made another 4 squares today (see?), and have cut out the pieces for a 5th but I'm tired. I pondered the overall pattern and decided the first one is too colorful - pink is out. So, I'll use that to make something else (does anyone need a potholder?). I drew a little pattern of all the blocks and I need 18 squares that look like petals (in white - you can see two of them in the picture). They are fun! I am also getting faster at this pattern, so hopefully all the squares won't take this long.

With 35 minutes of knitting on the subway, I've got 4 hours on the night. 106!
