What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning, we were allowed to sleep in. lol - AND when that happens, I can't! 

I played a few games and was getting ready to meet up with Carol for doing the veteran phone calls again. She texted me, to say she couldn't do it after all. So, I decided not to go with Patrick to check on his appointment to see if the radiology would work on his liver. 

While he was gone, I worked on vacuuming and beading. I also kept my eye on my game. Even had the audiobook going. Just as I was enjoying ...

 This morning Patrick went golfing. It was cold! I walked around the block for 3 or 4 rounds, didn't count. Was listening to the book on audio, so wasn't paying attention. Just knew I wanted to be on by 10 am for our war game. 

Ended up playing that game for 2 hours of "war." Then I sat down to work on my beading. 

One more row was added. The ears are showing up and I like that. I really do need to sit and work on this. 

I took some time this evening and sat with Patrick ...

This morning, I was up early but Patrick was up earlier. He went into Centralia and got some doughnuts for us. Not that I need more sweets. 

Then we got to cleaning. I got laundry started and enjoyed playing my games till noon. After that I decided to sit and bead. 

 This morning, I was up early. Had too much light coming through the window! And yet it rained. Go figure. I tend to wake at dawn no matter what. Sometimes I can go back to bed but not today. 

I played games for a while. Then I got up, watered the plants, cleaned up a little. Got laundry going. All that. 

Once that was done, I decided I wanted to bead. 

 This morning Patrick went golfing. I enjoyed the morning by walking and then playing games. There is just something about playing games that is relaxing to me. 

When Patrick got home, we watched the TV show, "Finding Your Roots." I started watching it while he was golfing, so we watched 2 more after. It's fascinating to me. Plus, like them, I want to know where we came from. 

It was time for Patrick to go to the City for a meeting and I had an oncology "zoom" meeting. I talked to her about Patrick needing to change to her ...

 This morning, I was up earlier than I usually am. Patrick didn't go golfing. Good thing, because it rained most of the day. 

I played games for a while and then decided I wanted to do some beading. 

Showed Patrick this piece and then had to tell him what he was looking at.

This morning Patrick was off golfing, and I was playing games enjoying the day. He actually came home early, so I ended up vacuuming while he was home. I would rather do it while he golfs. Got laundry started. 

Then Debbie reminded me we were going to the Lewis County offices to check on our donation boxes. One gal said she would get them to the business and then another said to come get them. So, we went to pick them up. Four boxes later, we headed to the museum to give them one to put out for us. We ...

This morning Patrick was out the door with golfing. I was out the door to drop off the quilt to Connie. Then I headed over to the grange were Sandy and I arrived at the same time. She picked up tea for us. Then we sat and chatted. We both had the class yesterday, so we both got to work on our pieces. Sandy's green is a little different from mine. We even looked on YouTube and watched how another gal attached the mirrors to fabric. It was so much better than what we were taught! It holds the ...

 This morning we were up early. I was tired and didn't want to get up, but we had to be in Olympia by 9:30 am. Katt called when we arrived in Olympia and were about 30 minutes early. So, we sat in the car and chatted with her. It was good to hear from her and she's been on it when it comes to calling us. We get called every other weekend; mom gets the other weekend. 

I had my tensity test this morning. It went really fast. The gal was surprised at how flexible I was ...

pattern from the book,Precisely Sew

and it's fun to dig through the box of scraps for a variety in red prints and solids. I was surprised that with all the fabrics, the star just looks red from a distance!!

On both the red, and green one I chose to repeat two fabrics for the center to be more graphic. The tula pink fabric I chose to use for background (I use plain white for foundation piecing around the feathered star points ...

This morning I was up earlier than I have been getting up. I had 2 phone calls from Kaiser today. One to go over my surgery on Tuesday. 

Then I got laundry going. I'm happy to say, I actually did 3 loads! lol - Patrick went golfing and was home before noon. He had been itching to go golfing since they closed the course for a week. The weather was either too cold or raining too much. We had freezing weather in there as well. So, when he came home, he crashed on the couch and slept for a good ...

 This morning, I slept till around 10 am. I surprised myself but it felt good. Lately I seem to want to sleep more. Thinking that's my way of healing with cancer. Who knows. I will see the surgeon tomorrow about my surgery on Tuesday. 

I played games and Patrick made some Peanut Brittle. The thermometer didn't seem to be working right. So, I'm thinking he over cooked the brittle. 

I sat and worked on my beading. 

There isn't much change from the last time. With only 2 rows getting done. It's a slow process and ...

 Today we were up and could feel the cold weather outside. 

We pretty much did the usual Sunday stuff. Cleaning. Then we watched the football game - or Patrick watched the game and I beaded. 

I added 3 or 4 more rows. I noticed that the other ear is coming through. Now I'm getting excited to get to her face. The ear looks good from the photo. It's amazing how details come out better when one steps away from the piece and not right on it. The red area on the left is a barn board that is the ...

Today I was sleeping in. It's Saturday and I really didn't want to get up. So, I stayed in a warm bed. We had snow again last night and this afternoon. We keep dropping in temperatures. All week we have been under a weather warning. 

I pretty much played games till I decided to get my butt up and go work on my beading. 

I was able to get 4 rows in today and I started working on it around 3 pm. Once can see the ear in the corner left. The brick is really coming out as ...

This morning I didn't want to get out of bed till 9:30 and even then, it was questionable. I just wanted to stay in bed. That's not like me, but I think I'm just getting tired of what's to come.  

I spend a good part of the morning and part of the afternoon playing games. Trying to not think of things that are going on. 

Then Patrick said I should go out and walk. When I looked outside it was raining. The day was so gloomy that it's no wonder I didn't want ...

Today I was up and ready to get moving. Patrick was telling me I need to do more than just play games. Debbie was coming over today at 11. I decided to go out when she leaves. 

I called the nurse to let her know the results where there. She had the surgeon call me. Everything looks good - but there is a question on the "margins" of what was taken out. They think they got it all, but need to be sure since I wasn't in the "margins." So, now I wait to see when the next surgery is ...

This morning I decided to go to my Brazilian Embroidery meeting. 

Before I even got out the door - 

Our meeting was just Sandy and me. We had such a good time! I didn't take anything to work on, but we chatted the whole time. I did work on getting my word chart done for the Christmas ornaments for this year. I need to get those done so I can start working on them. I will do more later. 

Came ...

This morning I was up and moving. Not doing much though. I did unload the dishwasher and try to help with laundry. I can't lift the laundry but I can fold it. 

I pretty much played all morning. I'm just not 100% back to "normal" - meaning I'm not feeling like I want to do anything. I'm thinking it's a little depression, but I've always been one to close off and do my own thing. Patrick suggested I take my walk. I figured he had a point, so I went out and walked - this time ...

 Today I thought I would get moving and get my blog going again. It's kinda hard at times when you're dealing with cancer. Not the hard part, but the part where your brain wonders if they got everything, will I have to go through radiation? That kinda of wondering. 

I played games again this morning. Then I decided I needed to get off my butt and work on some beading. Since beading is about the only thing I can do right now. I would love to cross stitch, but because of the position of where I hold the ...

 Today Patrick was out the door for golfing and I slept for another hour before getting up. Then I played some games I haven't had the chance to over the last 4 days. 

Today was a day to get caught up. So, I got laundry started. Finished listening to a book. Then I worked on trying to think of what I wanted to work on. That didn't get me very far at all. 

Patrick got home from golfing and we worked on our Christmas cards. We ordered 20 of them, since we haven't been getting very many ...
