Aaahhh...I just spent some time outside, alternating between the pool and a deck chair, savoring the contrast between the cool water and the heat. The pool has not yet reached a high enough temperature to feel uncomfortable, so it was fun to do some running in place and kicking while standing in the shallow (maybe 4 feet) end, which just happened to be in the shade. I came back in the house before 10:00 to avoid more direct sun.
My flight late Sunday afternoon departed and arrived on time, and K was at the airport to greet me. He thought e might already be in bed by the time we reached the house, but she wasn't. So we played a bit before she went up to her crib.
Saturday I had cut the batik fabrics for the Bits and Pieces quilt and put them in my suitcase. Yesterday I sewed them into 24 blocks, then arranged the blocks into 6 rows of 4 each, trying not to have the same fabrics touching, always a challenge with this pattern. Then the blocks were sewn into rows and the rows together. Today I plan to add the narrow inner border and wider outer border.
In case you wondered, the original reason for my trip was to help E while K traveled on business. But his plans changed and he is home this week. Since I was already in the mood for a visit, I came ahead but decided to treat it more like a vacation, not a childcare trip. So I help a bit with her but have not kept e out of daycare...yet. Maybe tomorrow.
