What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today I was thrilled to be able to stay in bed if I wanted to. I didn't stay as long as I wanted to. lol 

First things first - LAUNDRY! I have been behind on the laundry, it isn't funny. You know, those days when you see the close you love to wear - still in the laundry basket. Yep - I got moving on the laundry. I'm happy to say I have all but one "pile" done. I was at it all day long. 

So, I went and sat! I wanted to work on a few things. First I ...

Today I was up and moving around. I started laundry again - which I just realized I need to put in the dryer. 

I then took Sophie to the vets. She has a wart on her back, so it's not anything to worry about right now. Plus it's smaller than it was when I called to get the appointment. She was not happy with me! She got a physical while we were there. She tried to stay under the blanket. Plus she didn't talk to me the whole way back - and I stopped at moms for a 5 ...

This morning Patrick was off to golfing. I wanted to sleep in, but I received a text....reminder....reminder...every 3 minutes. I went through my phone to figure out why I kept getting reminders! I went into my setting and found that my setting was set at every 3 mins. No wonder my phone was driving me crazy the last week!! Now it's off and I won't have to keep hearing it "bing."

Once I finally got up and took care of that, I went to get laundry going. Then it was time to vacuum. Next it ...

 This morning I was up before Patrick. I enjoyed a little time by myself and playing games. 

I started on laundry - yeah, I know - didn't get very far. I still have some in the dryer right now. lol I did get one load folded. lol 

Patrick spent time outside and I stayed in. Debbie stopped by and dropped off some papers I need to drop of at Carol's. I fixed Patrick's sock that had a hole in it. Then I worked on our Christmas cards. I ordered cards from Walgreens. It said it would be ready by ...

 Ended up sleeping till 10:30 am. Mom was up and down all night. If you heard her she'd tell you she slept really well all night. I am still on the couch. One more day and my brother should be here. 

Mom slept in the afternoon and I watched an English show. 2 seasons worth. Around 3:30 I went home. Stopping at Safeway first. Got chicken for Patrick and I.  Picked up my clothes for tonight and tomorrow.  

Came back and worked on my beading. 

This one is done. I did mess up on the top part ...

Today started with everyone talking loud and not letting me sleep in. So 8:30 am I finally got up. 

 Another year, another Birthday. I was getting a lot of texts wishing me Happy Birthday. Even the gal at Kaiser came out and wished me Happy Birthday as well as being sorry we couldn't make the cruise. Once Patrick's treatment was over, we headed to Costco. 

At Costco I picked up a set of boxes (2) that I can use with my fabric downstairs. I can put the scraps in the box and put them in a bag later to give to someone to work on. I haven't decided what the other box will be used for ...

 This morning I was wanting to sleep in but didn't. I waited on Patrick. Then by the time I took my shower it was 11 am. I then finished the cookie pudding that I was making yesterday. Added all the marshmallows, blueberries, banana's, and apples. At least it's something that Patrick can eat. 

Then I decided to work on my beading that has been put away since December. I was looking for the notebook that has the pattern in it. I couldn't find it! Plus it has the pattern of Sophie ready for me to work ...

 Today is the day we were able to go out without having to wear a mask. It felt good. But there will still be days that I will wear a mask. We still have to wear them when we go to the doctors. 

My beading tubes arrived today, so before we headed to the movies, I got busy on organizing my beads. The tubes are a little different because they are smaller at the bottom then they are on the top. That's okay, they will still fit in my trays. I just hope they don't tilt too much ...

 This morning Patrick was up and ready to go. He was golfing today. After he left, I got busy with laundry and then decided to do a video on my beading. As it went, I was looking around the house for things that will work while I video myself working on my beading. It was some set up! 

At first I tried it with my camera, but I couldn't get it to zoom in where I wanted it. So, I put my phone between the 2 rulers. It worked out good. I realized after that I needed to turn ...

 Today I was surprised when Patrick left for golfing. lol - I completely forgot he was going today. I have a list of things to do, so headed out early. First on my list was to stop at the church and pick up a quilt. Dropped one off that the same time. I got to meet Linda who was making the quilts for us. She's really sweet! I was so thrilled to meet her. Told her to call me if she needed anything. Then I was off to Safeway for hamburger. The store was already busy, so had to wait ...

 I seem to be repeating myself lately - just like the days of the week! Today was quilting day at moms. I ended up helping mom out with getting the booster shop appointment she wanted. She tried to get the booster shot at Rite Aid - had the appointment confirmed - and when she went over there, they had her come back 3 times - "in an hour," "in a half hour," and "try again in an hour." They had her in the computer because she got a confirmation - but they didn't have her in Centralia. She gave them her confirmation number, everything ...

 Today is Veterans Day! I spent the day at the Veterans Memorial Museum. We set up a table and "nominated" about 20 more Veterans for our QOV quilts. 

On a day like today, I wish my father was here. He would have joined me today and helped out. I feel close to him when I can honor veterans. My best friend and father!

One of the people we signed up was a WAV - Navy woman Veteran. She got so emotional that we would honor her with a quilt. She joined about the time I would have, if I would have ...

This morning I was working on the blocks that I was looking at yesterday. I need to figure out what I want to do about my block. 

Next it was time to go to the movie. We saw ...

This morning I wanted to do some cleaning up. So, I got laundry going and done. Then I had Patrick help me with a photo of the Snowman. 

Then I worked on a Lemon Meringue Pie for dessert. It turned out awesome! And grandma Wineland would be proud!

It was awesome too. Grandma W was the pie maker in the family. If someone said they were bringing a pie, she would bake one to show hers was better. 

After ...

 This morning Patrick was off to his golf tournament. I was going to enjoy the day to myself. I had a hard time trying to decide if I wanted to work on my beading or go downstairs. I know I need to get more tops done, so I headed downstairs. 

I was tired of seeing this on the wall. I decided to go down and get to work on it. 

Of course there are those days when things go wrong. At least this was the only thing that went wrong so far! I sewed the two square together twice. So ...

 This morning started out pretty good. We had breakfast then I played for a little bit. Patrick went outside to work in the yard. When he did that, I went to the table and worked on my beading. 

I'm done! At least with the front part. This is it. I was thrilled to see this done. I still need to repair the bird tail that has a broken bead to replace. 

 This morning Patrick was up early and out the door for golfing. I enjoyed having the morning to myself. I did do some cleaning. I wanted to get laundry going and I needed to clean the cat litter. (TMI - I know)

Then Patrick got home and I was telling him I needed to get the embroidery framed for the fair. He suggested we go to Michaels - because I needed to get a couple frames. We bought (buy one get two free) 3. You know how that works, they up the price and then sell it at a buy one get ...

This morning we were out the door by 4:15 am. We all piled into the van and headed to UW Cancer Care Alliance. Patrick arrived at the hospital for his check in. We couldn't go in. Family and friends are not allowed due to Corona Virus. We all hugged him and wished him well. I walked him to the door and then turned back to the van. 

Katt, Susan and I headed to breakfast. The plan was to stay in the area to make sure he was okay during and after surgery. We headed to the closest I-Hop ...

 This morning we were up early because of texts and phone calls. Text were "sex" texts that I would love to see be illegal. Yet, phone companies won't stop them. 

I wasn't feeling good today. I think my sinus' were driving my head crazy. I had to take medication for it, and then I asked Patrick to give me a few before we left for Olympia. I ended up sleeping another hour before we went up there. 

Came home around noon to 1 pm. I played a few games. Got back to laundry. But even with all that ...
