Needling

When I finished yesterday's post, I went downstairs to find Smitty crashed on Mike's lap. His photo shoot from the day before totally wiped him out.

He loves his fans, but honestly, his celebrity is exhausting sometimes.

As I mentioned, I had an appointment with my dermatologist yesterday. He biopsied two little spots I pointed out to him. One was on my nose. And just let me tell you that anything that requires a needle prick to the nose is very painful. I'm afraid that one is going to require more when the results are received, but I'm hoping for better news. Anyway...all of that to say I came home and took a nap. The stress of the drive to downtown was enough. Two biopsies put me over the I-need-a-nap top. It didn't leave much time for sewing.

Nevertheless, I worked on my current embroidery piece, and I stitched around the third corner for the Snow Globes before I left home.

I needed to leave just after noon, and so we had an early lunch. That didn't leave me much more time and so I still have just a little left to do to call this a finish.

For sure and certain I'll get that finished today.

That was my only sewing for the day. Since she wasn't needed in the sewing room, Sadie thought she'd help Clay Cat catch his Clay Mouse. She's noticed that cat sits there day after day, week after week, year after year, and never reaches out to snag the mouse. She sat beside him, whispering tips in his ear. She's very supportive that way. She has come to the conclusion that he's a slow study, but she's very patient. 

Today I'll finish off the quilt binding. It's always good to put another one in the finished column. The day is looking nice, so I might get out and do some weeding. We've had several days of rain, and so the ground should be nice and soft. Good weed-pulling weather. There's also one housekeeping chore on the calendar. Aside from that, I'll get back to work on my bonus triangles and see what I can come up with for my "Waste Not Whatnots" quilt.
