What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today, I was up early to make the phone call to the doctors to get mom in. I ended up leaving a message and waiting. I waited a good 45 minutes and decided to go over and see about making it in person. As I was headed to the bank, I received the call. We had an appointment at 1:45 pm. Yet, I was on my way at 9:00 am. Which left me with 3 hours of waiting.......and waiting. ....

I got to moms and she looked good. I told her of the appointment, and I let my ...

Good Morning Quilters!

This morning I was up and dressed. I played my game for awhile and then one of the gals from another "alliance" got on her high horse and had me blackballed. So, It wouldn't matter how I played in that kingdom, I would be attacked. No one would take me. All over one comment about her changing her name and not letting me get horses. I was literally bullied out of the game. So, I deleted my 3 accounts and I will go to another kingdom that doesn't have to put up with one person taking over a ...

I slept in. Patrick wasn't doing so well today. He's balance was off. At least he came into the living room.  Unfortunately he slept on the couch.  

While he slept,  I watched "Marple" and "Father Brown." 

Then I pulled my crocheting out.

I finally finished the one I started a week or more ago. I then started another one.  I felt good about getting something done today. It made me Happy Crocheting/Happy Quilting!

This morning Patrick told me we were going to urgent care. So, I got what needed done and took him to Kaiser in Olympia.  We waited an hour to get in and another 30 mins for the doctor or PA. They talked about his muscle giving him pain. The usual discussion of what meds he can take. Then he was given a muscle relaxing med with a list of cream and pad to get at the pharmacy.  While we where there he got his blood tests. 

Came home and let him nap on the couch while I watched TV, played ...

Today Patrick was up before me. He's still hunched over in pain. Can't get him to go to urgent care. He tells me it a muscle and just needs time. After 2 weeks, I would think he would get it checked. It's a guy thing I guess. 

I played games and enjoyed watching TV most of the day. Patrick got a nap in. He's been napping a lot lately.  

I finished this potholder.  

Then started another one. They don't take long. I was crocheting and playing my games. Games seem to relax me and lately ...

Today was embroidery day - or was supposed to be. There was 4 of us today.  Jeannette is here from Canada visiting her sister Sandy. It was so good to see her. Gerilyn worked on her quilt while Sandy and Jeannette worked on there embroidery pieces.  I worked on my crocheting. 

I finished the top one at home, then I started the red and blue one. Thinking of groupings of potholder to give out. 

Had to stop at Safeway on my way home. Panicked that I thought I lost my credit card. Ended up paying cash instead. Then when I got ...

I actually slept in today. I didn't get up in time to do gates with my team. 10:30 am I was up and in the shower. 

Then Patrick wanted his toffee. First things first. Need to do kitty litter and vacuum.  He helped me vacuum by moving the furniture to get the stuff underneath.  Once all that was done, we went into the kitchen and worked on the toffee. 

I think it's thick and suggested we make it thinner next time. It was quick and easy. Mom came over and I gave her some fabrics for her ...

Hard to get ready for embroidery.  As I was getting ready, I decided to take my crocheting with me. Before getting there I needed to stop at the post office.  Then met up with Sandy and Gerilyn. 

We had a good visit today. Sandy was a little quiet but we got a lot done.

Finished one potholder and after getting home, I finished another one. This is the second one. 

This morning Patrick went golfing and I went to embroidery.  I stopped off at the post office to find it closed. I told someone going in and he said, "Oh. Columbus Day." So. I headed to embroidery. 

I worked on my Seattle piece. Decided to add color to my Space Needle.  I think it looks better. Still have a lot to do. 

Tried to stop at Copy Depot but they were closed as well.  So came on home.

Helped Patrick get some butternut squash in the freezer as well as the berry pie I made. Of course Patrick had 2 ...

This morning we cleaned the house.  

Then I worked on my potholder.  Didn't get very far as we need to head to the play. I had to finish laundry when we got back. First we headed to Phil's, then to Safeway in Centralia.  I wanted the mini croissants. Of course they didn't have any. I will go back to Costco for them. I did get 6, but they are a good $1 a piece. Cheaper at Costco. 

We went to the play, "Arsenic and Old Lace." It was awesome! I kept laughing! It was well done. They ...

Was up early today. I was hoping to sleep in, but no such luck. Never fails. 

This morning Patrick went golfing and I went to Nancy's after my game play. 

It was crowded at Nancy's with 7 of us. I took my crocheting but forgot to take the squash Patrick had ready for me. 

I finished one more potholder and started another.  This one is a little small. 

Came home,  cleaned up the computer room. Looked up ink stamps for our flyers. Put beads away and logged them in my listing's. 

We left for the theater to see " The Wild Robot." Loved it. The theater is getting run down. They didn't have ...

 This morning, got 6 laps with Ron around the neighborhood.  I was in two battles with my game between walking.

Patrick wasn't having a good day, so I pretty much worked on my projects. 

I was able to get three more potholder done.  They went pretty fast. I was even enjoying my book on tape. I have a total of 12 done so far. Guess they will end up as Christmas gifts.

 Patrick was up early today. They were planning to golfing but the rain got in the way, so they called it off. 

Teri texted me the garage was open for ume to do laundry.  Patrick took the container over with 2 loads. I got started. Bringing the clothes back and dry them in my dryer.  Good thing since it was raining pretty hard. Ended up doing 3 loads. 

I worked on my potholder. 

We went out to eat in Olympia.  I couldn't believe Patrick driving. For the first time he scared the crap out of me!! I asked what ...

This morning,  Patrick beat me by getting up before me. He had a list of things to do. I didn't feel like going along. He picked up our clothes from mom. She was sweet enough to do some laundry for us. Then he got gas, so I had to claim it in the app. 

I pretty much enjoyed listening to my book and crocheting. 

I finished the one from yesterday and finished another.  Then started a third. The 2 cones I ordered came in. Was going to make one from that but decided to just finish these. Amazing how ...

This morning Patrick went golfing.  I went walking early with Ron so I could play "gates" in my game. Then I got to work on cleaning around the house.

Once that was done, I sat down to work on my crocheting. 

I finished the one from yesterday and completed another one. 

 This morning Patrick went golfing and I enjoyed the morning by myself.  Ron and I walked 5 laps. He offered me his treddle (sp) sewing machine.  When I looked at it, I decided I didn't want it. It has a lot of damage to the cabinet. 

Patrick made it home and we had lunch before heading to Olympia.  He had blood tests to do. Then we headed to Costco.  

We picked up stuff for mom, Nancy and Phillip. When we dropped off moms stuff, I took some laundry because the washer isn't working STILL. Patrick got the part ...

Today Patrick woke me before he headed out for golfing. I got up to get moving to our meeting.  Sandy V and Sandy were there with me. Took some veggies too. 

I finished my whale. Then I finished the potholder I started last night. 

Then started another one. They go fast and break up my getting tired of the same thing. 

Went to get 2 quilts but mistook Connie for Colleen.  Left Connie's laughing and went to Colleen's to get 2 quilts. Then went to pick up a quilt from Debbie while having coffee at Dutch Brothers.  

Finally ...
