What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Today, I wanted to sleep in but didn't. I did play on my tablet and take a walk around the neighborhood. Trouble was, there were neighbors out and about, so, I ended up stopping and talking to them. I did get 4 laps in though. 

Then I sat down and worked on my cross stitching. 

Got more done than I thought I would. 

Of course, Sophie wanted me to pay attention to her instead. She didn't last very long once I got going. Sometimes she moves to the end of the chair but not today. I'm trying ...

Today was the last day of the garage sale. I waited till about 12:30 pm to go. I wanted to pick up a sandwich at the Firehouse Sub shop, but when I got into Centralia on Harrison Street, the power was out again. So, I just went on to the garage sale. 

Debbie and Colleen where there. They did most of the sales, I think. We had a few sales while I was there. We finished the puzzle Mary and I started yesterday.  We had a good visit. Then around 4 pm, Debbie left. So, it was Colleen and ...

 Since I changed the theme on here, it is a little harder to get to my blogging area. 

How do you like the new theme? OR should I try something else? 

Today, Patrick wasn't feeling well again. Poor guy has so much pain in the stomach. Like IBS pain or muscle pain. I feel for him, but he's got to work it out with himself over this. He's a GUY and they think they know better. 

I brought in the box for the cat tree. I wanted to work on it, and he let me. He did ...

 This morning, I took Sophie to the vets. We stopped at the credit union before heading there. I ended up spending a good 15-20 minutes there. Good thing I left early. I wanted to get some tea before getting there, but my time ran out and I ended up getting it on the way back. Sophie was good. She just wanted to hide. It was good seeing Bob again. He's wanting to go to Europe soon. I would love to go, but that won't happen with Patrick. Sophie was quiet when we got there. She meowed the whole ...

This morning, Patrick was up before me. He was sitting in the living room. I thought he was going golfing but remembered he said he had to go to Olympia instead for blood work. 

He left and I went downstairs to get to work on the wreath scraps to work on the wreaths. Cutting takes the longest on this. 

I was able to cut some but not near what we need. It's going to be interesting how we get all this done. I will try, but dang! 

Plus, I need to spend time on the computer doing research for ...

 This morning, I was up and playing my war games. Then Patrick came home and I was playing my war game "war" for an hour. Once that was done, I kept playing. 

I did bake a "Better Than Sex" cake today. 

I started to work on my cross stitching. Then after supper I sat to work on it some more - till my phone rang. Judy called me from WI and wanted to talk to me about being on a committee for Brazilian Embroidery. I told her I wasn't happy with the way things are going but would be willing ...

Patrick was off golfing. I was sleeping in. Then when I got up, I started doing laundry. Amazing how much laundry one does for 2 people. Go figure! I was also doing sheets and towels, but still!

I went walking around the neighborhood and I got in 3 laps instead of 2. I'm improving! It was nice to get out and walk even when the weather was a little cold. 

It was time to put everyone's names on the quilts that I need to take to the museum. I have 10 finished quilts in my back room. At ...

 Here I go again. As if I don't have enough going on, I signed up for another Brazilian Embroidery Class! Just what I needed. But I do love the Stumpwork Glads that Loretta Holzberger designed and is teaching! She's so much fun. 

Today I was working on the laundry. Then forgot about it. I was playing my games and then decided it was time to get moving on my leg warmers. I seriously had trouble reading and seeing the pattern! The more I did what was told, the more it didn't look right. Once I figured out ...

 Today, we had to be up and ready to leave. We needed to get mom to her appointment by 11 am. So, we went to pick her up at 10 am. 

We picked her up and had a few things we needed to do when we dropped her off. So, we took her to the dentist in Olympia that could take care of her root canal. They checked her out, then they came out to let Patrick and I know it would be an hour. I played on my phone for a bit and then got into my bag, that ...

Christmas is over, and it was just the two of us today. 

We pretty much, just enjoyed the day and each other's company. I didn't work on anything.  I got lost in the shows Patrick and I were watching. Later in the day, I brought out my tablet and played. 

We did go through some patterns for star beaded ornaments and I ordered one from Etsy. It's pretty and I think Katt will like it. Patrick found one but it wasn't on sale anymore, just showed up in Pinterest. So, we weren't so lucky on ...

Yea today was one of those days, I didn't do squat! Don't I know it! I have a ton of stuff I could have done but didn't. 

I did go and pick up my embroidery that was framed! I love it. But if I post it, it will be a gift that was "let out of the bag." So, I will post it later, after it's given away. I did do laundry - oh wow! As if I don't do that every day! 

I know! I have so much that needs to be done, and what ...

This morning, I waited till about 10:45 am to get moving. I didn't realize till after I left that I was an hour earlier than I wanted to be. I got the times messed up. My first stop was at Safeway for the nicotine patch; to find out they didn't carry them. Then I stopped at CVS and was able to get the correct patch that mom needed. Next on the list was the museum. I needed up waiting for a while to see if Chip could answer a couple questions for me. Yes, we will have ...

 Today we were taking it slow. We had to leave by noon to Vancouver. We actually got moving around 11:30 am. 

The traffic wasn't bad. It could have been worse. We didn't see a lot of trucks out there. So, I think that helped the traffic a bit. 

We arrived around 12:30 pm. They were getting things ready. Had a few things in the oven warming. My brother smoked the turkey, and it was resting. Mom didn't look good at all. We were told she was coughing up blood. Nate told her to take it ...

This morning, I actually slept in. I was surprised at how long I slept, but it felt good. 

Then I asked Patrick to heat up the fire downstairs. He had an appointment in Olympia this afternoon, and I decided since I don't go in with him, I would stay home and try to get a couple quilts done. 

First things first, I had to get this done. So, I added the white border when I was finished. I need to put the blue fabric with it, so they can use that for the binding. I think this gives me ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing. About the time he got home, I was heading out to the museum and then my physical therapist appointment. 

Met Debbie at the museum and we put the quilts that are done in the stacks. We found 2 of our quilts in the wrong spot. So, we need to let everyone know not to mess with the quilts there. Sam said she would pay attention if she sees a quilt go out of the storage room.  They were giving out turkey's to the veterans that could need one. I called Patrick to let him ...

This morning, Patrick and I went to the casino (because I wanted my gift), and I got the grill that they were giving away. I wanted it, so made Patrick go today instead of Tuesday since he wasn't able to get the gift then. I'm still not sure which gift was given last week, could be the crock pot or the diamond electric skillet. I will see which one I get next week and will know. Like Patrick said, they are cheap, but they do work. Some of the stuff we get is really nice, others are crap ...

This morning, I was getting things ready for our trip. Then I played some games on my tablet. 

We left by 1 pm because we needed to get gas and be in Olympia around 2 pm. Our appointment was till 3 pm but Patrick needed to get up there early for his blood tests. We got gas, and just as we entered Tumwater/Olympia area, it was stop and go. There was an accident that happened at 12:14 pm and traffic was touch and go. We didn't see any accident - thinking it was cleared up. Took us about ...

This morning, I was up and playing games. I watched one of my shows and then Patrick walked into the house. It was early for him, since he was golfing. He wasn't feeling good, so he napped till it was time to go to his appointment in Olympia. 

At 2 pm I met with Sherry from Olympia, and we chatted in the rain. She gave me 8 quilts back from them. I went in to get my blood tests, to find out I didn't need to do that till the 21st. So, I waited on Patrick, then he ...

 This morning, Patrick tagged me to get up and get ready to go to Olympia for his scans. He had CAT and MRI done today. So, I was ready when we needed to leave. Would have been nice to sleep in but we were up by 8 am. Out the door by 9 am. Patrick's first scan was at 10:20 am and then we had to wait (and wait) till 11:50 am for his other scan. I took a walk around the medical facility. The last scan took longer and was about 40 mins. The first one ...
