What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, Patrick was waiting to go out to go golfing. The weather wouldn't let them go till after 10 am. Which gave me some time to myself. 

I pretty much listened to my audiobook, cleaned the litter box, and ran the vacuum. Then I sat and played my game. When the battery was low, I traded it in for my cross stitching. 

I worked on the left side. I was able to get here, then ended up taking out some of the stitches, because I wasn't on track. Once I got myself back on track of what ...

This morning, I was up around 8 am. Wanted to get out of bed before Patrick so he could make the bed. lol Too lazy to do it today. 

I got my 3 laps in on my walk, plus some. Then I sat and worked on my cross stitching before we had to head up to Olympia. 

This morning, I slept in. Then I ordered backing and batting for our group. 

I played my games for a bit and then Patrick wanted to watch a movie. We watched "A Ghost in My House" ? I think that's the name. It was on Netflix. It was really good too. 

While that was going on, I decided to pull out my cross stitch. 

I was able to get it back on track. The steps are showing up again. I was able to get a lot done. I'm having some issues with that color I had trouble with before ...

I am going to have to find something other than "Embroidery Day" for Monday's schedule. I can't seem to think of titles very well. I will work on it. 

It was a day at moms. I stopped and got her a tea as well as myself. She wanted to talk about quilts, but Georgie and I worked on our embroidery. So, she finally started working on her applique. Georgie isn't happy with her piece, but I think it looks fine. 

As for me, I'm not that thrilled with mine, but I will work on fixing it ...

It was pretty busy this morning with cleaning and getting my Christmas Star Bread done. I was able to get a lot done. 

Then it was time to just sit and relax. So, I did. I watched the Seahawk's play and I stitched. 

I was able to work on this. I got a lot done. The right side is slowly getting the steps that I like working on. I did a lot of the white/light green area done. It was fun, but doing the same color for a long time does get old. lol 

When I got tired ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I got some laundry in. Then I just enjoyed the morning. He got home just as I was ready to go walking. I was able to get my walk in and then it was time to pick mom up. 

We left at noon to get mom and then head up to Olympia. I had my bone density test, while they waited out in the car. Guess I was in there about 45 minutes, and I thought it was less than that. My test only took about 10 minutes. So, I joined them and we ...

Not only the week, but the months are going fast. I feel like I sneezed and January was gone. 

Patrick was golfing in the fog. That had to be interesting. It was cold today, but I actually got a few things done. 

I needed to get 2 quilt tops set with backing and batting. I used up the roll of batting and a couple of the backings. I'm going to ask the group what colors they want for backing and see what I can get. I am ordering regular rolls of fabric that are solid colors. That will help ...

Patrick went golfing and Kaiser woke me up at 8:30 am to let me know we needed to move my appointment because my density test wasn't scheduled yet and I needed that before my appointment. So, I had to call and get that scheduled and then call him back. While I waited, I called OBGYN to get an appointment in April - and they don't have that schedule available yet. 

So, for a couple hours this morning, I was on the phone. Then I went walking. I got 3 laps in today, which was awesome. I have to ...

 This morning, Patrick went golfing and I just enjoyed the morning to myself - not doing anything! 

Then I went into town to go shopping at Safeway and deposit a check for our water group. Then I stopped to see Phil and return his dish. He had made a delicious carrot cake for Patrick last week. Stopped at Carl's Jr. for my lunch. Brought back a milkshake for Patrick and myself. I had a small one. But I think I paid for it because it has dairy. OR my body didn't care for the burger. Either way, my IBS ...

I know today isn't Friday, but it feels like it. I'm bored!! 

I cleaned up a bit while Patrick was off golfing. Then I cleaned the cat litter and called it done. I was able to play my game but got frustrated with the people I play with. They seem to stop playing when they think we are losing.  I listened to my audiobook today and finished one, starting another. 

I worked on my leg warmers. 

Good news is that it's done. I'm going to do another set but try and make them look a lot ...

This morning, I was up and putzing around. Didn't get much done, but we did leave around 10 am. We got to the casino around 11 am. 

The jackpot was over $5,000 on the game we play. We played a long time, then went to another machine, to go back and find someone won the prize. Patrick wasn't too happy about that. We play that game a lot and rarely win it. Think between the 2 of us, we have won it 3 times in over 10 years. lol - But don't forget, we stopped going to ...

I dropped off 2 quilt tops at Colleens and headed to moms. There were 5 of us. It was fun. Georgie and mom where working on QOV quilt stuff. I was working on my embroidery. I don't know why mom won't sit down and enjoy working on her applique instead of keeping busy with QOV stuff. 

 Today, I just played games in the morning. Wasn't in the mood to do much. I did get my floss and things for my cross stitching. So, I can work on it, if I can get my butt in gear. 

I checked the cinnamon rolls I did last night, to cook.

They raised really well! I used the cast iron skillet that I bought from Gerilyn. 

The came out awesome!! Really good too! 

Flipped them onto a plate and frosted them - not frosted here. They were so good! I will keep using the cast iron to make them!

We ...

   Today was Patrick's Birthday. He didn't want anything and said it's just another day to him. I'm not that way when it comes to Birthdays, but then he treats it the same. lol 

This morning, I wanted to get some stuff cleaned. I got started on laundry, that didn't get me far. 

I had the Roomba going in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/dining room. We then mopped the floor. I kept finding things that needed cleaning and was doing that. I think all morning was nothing but cleaning here and there. Like spring cleaning ...

 This morning, I enjoyed being able to sleep in. Had some trouble with my thumb last night. So, it was nice to finally get some sleep.

We left around 11:30am to head to Tacoma. We decided to get lunch at the Spaghetti Factory. We arrived around 1:30 pm. It was the first time in a long time that we were there. Must be about 10 months at least. It wasn't crowded, as I thought it would be. We sat and enjoyed our lunch. We had plenty of time because my appointment wasn't till about 4:30 ...

This morning, Patrick was up before me. He waited till about 10:30 am to go golfing. The weather is cold and the frost is out there in the mornings. The golf course doesn't want anyone out there before the frost is cleared. He ended up waiting till 11:30 am to go out. 

I enjoyed the morning by doing nothing important. I decided to listen to my book and enjoy the morning. So, I pulled out my crocheting and worked on the leg warmers. 

I finished the one leg, but don't care for the way it was ...

This morning, I was up after Patrick. He was waiting to go golfing. They were told it would be about 10 am before they could get out there. He texted me later to say it would be about 11 am. I just laughed. It was really cold today. I don't understand how they can go out in the weather!

I headed up the downstairs. I was going to do some work down there but ended up waiting a couple hours while I played my game. 

I first started with the 2" strip on the top and bottom to find ...

 This morning, Patrick went golfing and I just cleaned a few things. Then I played my games. I was listening to my audio book and didn't want to do anything else. BUT I did go out and walk 2 laps around the neighborhood. I will try and get back to making it a habit. 

Patrick got home and we had to head out to Olympia for his blood tests. I was waiting in the car for Sherry, since she was delivering the last quilt, we had up there. It's a panel, so I'm happy about that as ...

 This morning, I woke with a sinus headache. Not my favorite thing to wake up with. I thought last night when I went to bed it was a migraine, but NOPE it was a sinus headache! Lucky me!

I took the day easy. I didn't feel in the mood to do much, so I enjoyed the morning watching my shows I had recorded. Patrick came home when I was done with the first 3 and he watched the other 2 with me. Now, I'm caught up. 

After my tablet died with 10% energy left, I decided to sit ...

This morning, was not a good morning. Around 4 am, I woke to an upset stomach. Which meant I needed to get to the toilet fast! After about 3 times, I was feeling a lot better. I wonder if it was something from the potluck or just something I ate yesterday. 

I was able to sleep again, so I slept till about 9 am. Patrick went golfing and I stayed home. I got the Roomba working down the hall. I also got some laundry going. 

I waited for one of the quilters to drop of 2 quilt tops. They are ...
