Days and Nights of Speedy Sleep.

This was my one accomplishment for yesterday.

I finished binding the Blossom Time quilt around 9pm last night while the last dose of Benadryl was being taken before bed, but before it had really grabbed hold.

You see, I made an “impaired judgement” decision while at CVS.

I was picking up my meds for the cellulitis wasp bite arm, and the pharmacist asked if I was up on my immunizations.  My insurance would cover them all and it wouldn’t cost me anything.

I figured that since the cellulitis arm already had me in a walking Benadryl coma – what could it hurt?

So I left there with the LEFT arm bearing the marks of Flu, Pneumonia, and Shingles shots.  2 of which have boosters down the road.

The right arm was out of commission anyway due to the wasp sting – so let’s knock these out of the ball park!

BAM!

Part of yesterday was just doing this.

This is Lola.  She has started to become very needy – and I think that is due to Ivy invading her space.

I’ve even caught her being meanly aggressive toward Ivy.  I suppose in time they will sort it out. And I need to spend as much time there with the two of them as I can so that is my plan today -

Yes, I’m moving slowly – but have switched my morning dose of antihistamines to Zyrtec instead of Benadryl to hopefully keep the sleepy foggies at bay.  This was suggested by my doc when they called in on me yesterday morning to see how I was doing.

That Speedy Sleep in the title of this post is drawn from just how I feel when steroids ramp me up, but the Benadryl pulls me under..you know the feeling?

I’m thinking some simple string blocks for more hexie star applique are in order now that the binding is done on Blossom Time.

That icky backing fabric even became the sleeve!

The only thing that remains is to stitch that upper edge of the label in place – that can happen tonight.

Greens photograph weird.

The binding print is actually much brighter and it has “sailing” terms on it – but it acts like a stripe due to the fabric being cross-cut.  I used it all.  There was only about 12’’ or so left by the time the binding was on – another piece of yardage bites the dust!

And these are still on the go!

Nearly Lemoyne is really a fun block to play with and perhaps I’ll get some more block sets cut out this afternoon.  These have been my “just sewing a bit between dinner and tv time” project.  If the parts are cut out, it’s easy to sit and sew for 45 minutes or so.

And I think that brings me to now!  Another low key day ahead.  Nothing grand or exciting, but I’m still on my feet and moving forward (albeit slowly!) and that’s a good thing!

Anything interesting ahead for your Tuesday?
