under the Hourglass
I'm calling it A Day.
Today Eleni had three appointments - her physical therapist, speech/oral therapist and Bowen touch therapy.
Even though all three therapists come to our home, that's still a pretty full schedule for a sleepy baby and her multi-tasking, pumping, sewing mom.
Therapies got rather backed up because baby spent two days recently in the hospital due to respiratory distress and a high fever. Thank God she's recovered now and back home with us.
It was so sad to see her sweet little self amongst the beeping machines and needles again. I wished at the time that there was a way to reassure her that home was not a dream!
Today I've been messing around with some half square triangles, leftover from that Pretty Potent diamond quilt. I enjoyed turning them into perky little hourglass blocks.... and then what? Wasn't sure where this would go, but it's trying to become a sling bag. Modifying this tutorial and crossing my fingers, since I've never made a bag with these kind of handles. If you just pretend you know what you're doing, sometimes that works. I wanted to show you the finished bag today, but tis not to be.
Life under the hourglass.
