To Do Tuesday - On Thursday

Happy Boxing Day!  We don't recognize that holiday in the United States, but several other countries do.  Hope every one had a very happy holiday.  You might guess that as I'm just now drafting my Tuesday To Do list on Thursday that our holiday week was busy.  Actually our holiday was a bit rough. It started off with me waking up with a nasty cold on the 18th. I didn't feel really great again until Saturday.  Then My Guy developed complications from his October surgery, putting him back in the hospital for emergency surgery last Sunday.  So most of my time prior to Christmas was spent either in bed or at the hospital.  Thankfully My Guy's surgeon and the nursing staff worked a few small miracles and he was able to come home Tuesday evening, so he was home for Christmas.  He's doing well, but has another three to four weeks of recovery ahead of him.  

 Needless to say I didn't get very far on my last to do list 

 Weekly To Do List 12/17/2019
1. Twinkle Stars - Add borders     progress
2. Frolic - Finish Clue 1, continue clue 3, start clue 4  progress
3, Mosaic Mystery quilt - finish the December clue  progress
4. Winter Quilt - finish clue 4 and clue 5, assemble  progress
5.  2019 Christmas Mystery - finish sashing, add borders  progress

 So no check marks for last week, but at least there was some progress on every item.  That being the case, I'm just going to keep the same to To Do list for the week of 12/24/2019

 Weekly To Do List 12/24/2019
1. Twinkle Stars - Add borders     
2. Frolic - Finish Clue 1, continue clue 3 and 4, start clue 5
3, Mosaic Mystery quilt - finish the December clue  
4. Winter Quilt - finish clue 4 and clue 5, assemble  
5.  2019 Christmas Mystery - finish sashing, add borders 

 I didn't get any photos of the progress on my quilt projects, but My Guy and I did get a walk in yesterday so I could play with my new 18 to 400 telephoto lens. It's pretty cool. 

I was able to get a reasonably decent photo of this red tail hawk from the road.  And then a great shot of the sky as the sun was setting. 

Hopefully, I'll get in some decent stitching time in the next few days, and a few updated project photos.  We had to reschedule Christmas with the extended family, so we'll have that sometime this next weekend.  

 Happy stitching this week.

    Sorry to hear your guy was back in the hospital. My Dad had a brief stay last weekend, so we were very glad he was able to be home for Christmas. Many blessings on your family today and the remaining year, may you all be healthy to close out 2019!

    Glad to hear that you are feeling better, Kate! Tell "My Guy" that the quilters said to take it easy. Hoping the SIT had a great holiday and that you enjoy your fancy new camera lens!

    we don't celebrate Boxing Day, our state has Proclamation Day on the 28th (when our state was proclaimed a colony ) but with commercial pressure we now have the holiday on the 26th so we can have boxing day sales like the rest of OZ. We are heading for 4 or 5 days of heat wave again. Hope your guy continues to get better and you get in a little bit of relaxation over the coming weeks.

    Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry about My Guy. He’s probably feeling pretty beaten up by now, and I can imagine you were very worried. What a way to spend the holidays. Beautiful photos. Hopefully the new year will be kinder to your family.

    I am so sorry your guy had to go back to the hospital and you were sick. Tell him to mind his P's and Q's this time, although I'm not really sure what P's and Q's are. Partners and Quilters?
