Day 75....Sick Days

my dyejob for today:

another damask table napkin

.....this result is what I had in mind

YAYYY

the grand cherubs are all sick with colds,

so I drove down this morning to be with the two older ones,

while the baby went for his 2-month check-up

(2 months already?)

the traffic between our house and their's is pretty awful

almost all of the time,

* but particularly at rush hour *

It took me an hour fifteen to get there 

with lots of pokey drivers in my way

I stayed until after lunch and then headed home...

another hour fifteen

that kind of driving wipes me out 

and I wasn't much in the mood to sew or dye

BUT

having challenged myself to 200 days really helped today

I felt compelled to get a bit more sewing done -

because there may be days in the future when I simply cannot

for one reason or another

there are many days when the challenge really

makes me work a little bit harder,

and that is very good!

I did one more pinwheel and joined it and more sashing to the row

this is only a partial row

the kids are gearing up for Halloween

.....and Henry is smiling and laughing lots:

a very happy baby boy,

even after his 2-month shots and a cold!

thanks for stopping by

peace!
