What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today I was out the door by 9 am. Patrick wasn't doing well. I was a little worried about leaving him. I had to stop at a couple places and then make it to the grange. Colleen had a quilt for me, then I had to stop at Micheals for some floss. When I was done, Geralyn called to say McD's made a mistake and gave us sweet tea and could I pick up the other. So, I did. 

We sat and chatted for a while. Alice stopped in. We gave her the sweet tea. 

This morning, both Patrick and I slept in. We really didn't feel like getting up. 

Once the day got started, we did some cleaning. Then he went outside to relax on the deck while I beaded. 

Afterwards, I sat down to listen to my book some more and do cross ...

Today was a day where there were no plans. So, I enjoyed it by doing laundry and beading. 

I worked on Sophie today. It's coming along. I am at her noise now. This is coming along. Her body is coming to view as well. It's going to be fun. I did have a couple places where I had to replace a couple beads. I know which ones they are because of the glass. When one can see through the bead, then it's clear and that break very easily. I think I have a couple more in the ...

The day started out slowly. We were without water later in the day. So, I couldn't do anything I wanted to that needed water. At least they were fixing the water pump of the community well. 

I played in the morning, then I went to work on my beading. 

Today I was out the door by 9:15 to be waiting in line for Safeway. I bought some cheese, and the container lid was broken, so I showed it to the checkout person. She had someone go get another one, but they didn't have another one. So, she gave me $2 off. That took time, of course. Then I went to Rite Aid and waited in line there. The gal in front of me had to wait longer than me, I think. She kept looking around for someone to check on her. Took a while. Once she was ...

 It's been a long day. I played my game for a bit, then I wanted to find something to do. I had till 1 pm when the "war" game was on. 

I decided to put my beading stuff together. I laid everything out and thought I could do a row or two. OH NO! Not in my lifetime! I had to count the rows to make sure I was on track - that was. As it turned out, I was missing a bead. Not sure where the tube was or if I used that color for something else. I went ...

 This morning, we stayed pretty quiet. I did get some work on getting the word chart going. I haven't finished the deer part and wanted to get moving on it. So, I was able to get another 11 rows done before we had to leave. 

We were meeting Kelsey at Jeremy's in town. I had a quilt for her to quilt. Then we stopped at Colleen's, and she was waiting to see if I had anything. Told her no, gave it to Kelsey. So, she can work on a quilt top with those blocks I gave her ...

This morning, we decided to go to the casino today. We are not doing the Tuesday and Friday thing. Even though Friday has the money, we didn't get as much this time, and we were getting tired of going. So, we decided since there is extra money on Wednesdays, we would go then. Like Patrick said, it's a gimmick and with something going on every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, it's not worth our going all three days. I agree. So, we played for a while today. This time we did use up some of our money, but ...

This morning, I wanted to sleep in. I did for a bit, but not as much as I wanted to. 

I got to work on washing my Santa Claus. I have someone to frame it and need to get the size. I will work on that this week. 

Then I played my game for a bit. I had to get a few things done, and came into the computer room to send out 48 emails letting the veterans know when to expect receiving a quilt. I had done some yesterday and finished it up today. That takes a lot of ...

This morning, we went to Colleen's to drop off more garage sale stuff. She gave me a couple things too. I picked up another quilt, which will help on our count. I'm still waiting to hear from one of our quilters to see if she wants to quilt another quilt. 

We then went to the casino. We played a couple hours. When we were ahead about $200, we decided to quit and come home. I think we were getting a little tired of playing. Now we are thinking of going on Wednesdays instead of Tuesdays. Not sure if ...

This morning, Patrick left for a haircut (thank goodness). I stayed home and played for a bit. Then he came home to head out again. He went to Phils and then moms to fix her quilt frame - and may need to go back and fix it again. It's over 100 years old and someone already messed with it. He couldn't fix it, so he cut the screws off. Now if you wanted to put the feet back on, you can't. So, it's messed up. I don't think there is anything old in moms how that ...

This morning, I worked on the laundry and cleaned the cat litter box, since I haven't done that lately. 

I almost didn't go to the casino today. I woke with a headache and my stomach was telling me it wasn't happy with me. I called mom to tell her I wouldn't be going to her place. After a couple hours, things were better and Patrick was ready to go. 

We stopped to visit with Phil first. I took him some more asparagus from the garden. Then we went to the casino. Things were tight, and we were down to our last $50 when I hit the jackpot of $1100! I couldn't believe it! So, we ...

This morning, we went to the new WinCo store to check it out. We actually came home with 5 bags of groceries plus stuff and it was half the price of what we spend at Safeway. There were a few things that we could get cheaper at Safeway, but not much. Their produce was even better. So, chances are we will be shopping there more. We used to, when we lived in Pullman. 

We came home and unloaded. Then I sat and worked on my beading. I'm not happy with it, but Patrick likes it. I don't. First ...

 This morning, I wanted to work on the ornament before heading out to Olympia for my doctor's appointment. I was able to get some done and ended up with half of it already done. 

This morning, we went to the casino. We did pretty good and were there about 5 hours. We lost half of what we were taking to lose, so feel pretty good about that. 

The mountain was in view on the way home. I love it when it's this clear. This is Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helen's is the one we see close to home. 

Came home and I was playing on my tablet. Mom called to say she and Nancy picked up a trunk full of material for our group and could they drop if off. I ...

 This morning, Patrick went golfing. I enjoyed being able to sleep just a little longer. 

Once I was up, I played for a bit, then I went out and walked 4 laps in the neighborhood. I was worn out by that time. I really need to pick it up and get moving more. At least today was a start. 

I watched some TV for a bit, on Britbox. I watched "Shetland" and couldn't believe how dark it was. I mean, the killings and the way my heart raced as I was hoping the person would get away. Wow! What ...

This morning I was up when Patrick came to tell me what time it was. He wasn't sure when I needed to get up. He was going to try to go golfing but his back wasn't quiet there yet. 

We had our embroidery meeting today.  Just Sandy and myself.  We went through the 2 bags of beads we ordered. Then we put the numbers on the bead tubes.

 This morning I was up early. Enjoyed a couple hours without Patrick.
