It Starts Off a Little Quilty -

My best laid plans were to make some progress on this!

And I only got this far!

All of these hours I thought I’d have due to not traveling – and the days seem to be eaten up (in very good ways) by other things.

I had cut out four Nearly Lemoyne blocks with plans to sew them up, but only made it as far as two.  Okay, well two and a half by the pieces you see chaining from beneath my presser foot.

How can time just fritter by when you have given yourself the whole day to sew?

Watching THIS playtime!

Can you see how accepting Ivy and Zoey are of each other?

(Pardon the thready carpet! It's a studio!)

And the morning was cool enough that Zoey and I did a Sunday morning hike up Round House Road – just about 3 miles.  But by the time you get back, it is nearly time for lunch, and there are things to put in motion because later in the day -

My friend Gail came knocking at the QPO back door -

To give me a hair cut!

This is the non-styled no make up version – but let me tell you, NOTHING has felt so good as to have a masked stylist friend bring her tools of the trade into my space, set me down in a chair and take care of this hair that hasn’t been cut since JANUARY.

As she combed and trimmed, I reveled in the simple pleasure of someone’s hands on my head taking care of the neglected.

THANK YOU GAIL!  Friends that make house calls are the best!

Zoey Jo, looking pretty!

It was such a lazy Sunday that I plopped down into my stitching chair at 6pm after a 5:30pm dinner of leftovers. 

Two more done, middles trimmed out -

This really has become my favorite part of the day – when I can put my feet up and enjoy the late evening until bedtime just stitching away with Zoey by my side.

It’s that feeling of “No matter what is wrong in the world outside, everything is RIGHT at this moment inside.”

Today I am taking ivy to the vet to check for a chip, have her health accessed and then make the decision as to which shots and spaying needs to be done.

I'm wondering just how she will do in a cat carrier in the car.  We will find out.

I’m sad to say that we have not heard the “other” kitty down by the creek in the past couple of days – we only thought we heard it in the dark of night while in the back yard.

Could it have been a bird?  I don’t know.  We know we heard “something”  but even with a flashlight it didn’t want to be found.

Other than that – it’s a typical Monday here.  I’ll chip away at the to-do list as best as I can, as we all tend to do!

Anything happening for your Monday ahead?

Only my AC/DC folks will get the giggle in this one, but here's a play on your Monday ear worm!

Have a great week, everyone!
