Home and Unpacked

We got home at 1:45 AM this morning (it is 12:00 noon now) and I am already unpacked and ready to go. We had an absolutely great visit and got lots and lots of grandparenting done (including a trip with a 2-yr old to Disneyland). I think the combination of heavy antibiotics and the family visit worked wonders.

AND I WAS PRODUCTIVE TO BOOT!

  • Lots of hexies accomplished on the long plane rides
  • Two knitted cowls finished and ready for photos to go on Hummingbird Treasures
  • Two pairs of fingerless gloves crocheted (small/medium and medium/large)
  • A short knit collar shawl finished

Going from east coast to west coast really messes with my biological clock. I am really ready (past ready) to go to bed no later than 8:30 and then lie awake for hours during the night. I am happy to report that those hours were used for staring at the ceiling and quilt planning for multiple quilts - I can hardly wait to dive in and get started again. For some strange reason, I don't have trouble adjusting the other direction but that east to west gets me every time.

I have to take the time today to write down and sketch my 'dream quilting ideas' so I don't lose them. I saw an absolutely gorgeous little clutch bag made from a jean pocket with a scalloped crocheted edging all around it - does anyone know how to make the hole in the denim to stick the crochet needle through. I'm stuck on trying to figure this out.

  1. Glad you are home safe and sound :) And that you had such a great holiday!
    You are very brave taking a 2 year old to Disney! Don't know if I could do it.

    Can't wait to see what you are "dreaming" up while awake.
