What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, we went to the new WinCo store to check it out. We actually came home with 5 bags of groceries plus stuff and it was half the price of what we spend at Safeway. There were a few things that we could get cheaper at Safeway, but not much. Their produce was even better. So, chances are we will be shopping there more. We used to, when we lived in Pullman. 

We came home and unloaded. Then I sat and worked on my beading. I'm not happy with it, but Patrick likes it. I don't. First ...

 This morning, I wanted to work on the ornament before heading out to Olympia for my doctor's appointment. I was able to get some done and ended up with half of it already done. 

This morning, we went to the casino. We did pretty good and were there about 5 hours. We lost half of what we were taking to lose, so feel pretty good about that. 

The mountain was in view on the way home. I love it when it's this clear. This is Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helen's is the one we see close to home. 

Came home and I was playing on my tablet. Mom called to say she and Nancy picked up a trunk full of material for our group and could they drop if off. I ...

 This morning, Patrick went golfing. I enjoyed being able to sleep just a little longer. 

Once I was up, I played for a bit, then I went out and walked 4 laps in the neighborhood. I was worn out by that time. I really need to pick it up and get moving more. At least today was a start. 

I watched some TV for a bit, on Britbox. I watched "Shetland" and couldn't believe how dark it was. I mean, the killings and the way my heart raced as I was hoping the person would get away. Wow! What ...

This morning I was up when Patrick came to tell me what time it was. He wasn't sure when I needed to get up. He was going to try to go golfing but his back wasn't quiet there yet. 

We had our embroidery meeting today.  Just Sandy and myself.  We went through the 2 bags of beads we ordered. Then we put the numbers on the bead tubes.

 This morning I was up early. Enjoyed a couple hours without Patrick. 

This morning I slept in. Felt good not to get up early.  Think I am needed the sleep lately.  I have even gone to bed earlier than usual. 

This morning I picked up some hot/cold pads for Patrick.  He hurt his back and is having trouble moving around. Then I picked Debbie up to go to our meeting.  

Our group had a good talk, I believe.  We went over a lot. It ended up being 2 1/2 hours. I think we can move forward in a good way. I need to do somethings to keep the group up on what's going on and they need to do more as well.

Came home to find my box of beads waiting for me. 

I went through the ...

This morning we woke to rain and wind. I woke to the wind in the middle of the night. 

I got the bread going for baking in the afternoon.  I also worked on my notes for tomorrow's meeting.  Think I am ready now but very nervous.  It is what it is.

Then I worked on my ornament. 

I now have both ornaments done. Made my day to get another "project" done. The gold holders will be coming in a few days. This is just for now, it may change later.

 This morning Patrick went golfing. Then I got started on some Quilts of Valor stuff. We have a meeting on Thursday and wanted to be organized. I got my outline and what I want to talk about done. Then I worked on getting the dishwasher going and vacuuming. Debbie called and Val texted, so was busy with that too. 

Then I pulled out my beading. Patrick turned the TV off and slept. I worked on my ornament, trying to get it done as well. 

I finished the top of the ornament. It went pretty fast considering. I had to get ...

This morning I started laundry and headed out walking. I am keep 7 laps so far. 

Came back in, playing my games then got my ornament out and worked on getting one done.

I had a hard time working on what beads will be used for the tassells. I even forgot where I put my box of the old jewelry beads. Took me awhile to find them.

 Patrick went golfing.  I got my 7 laps in on walking.  

Listened to and finished the book on audio.  Then watched 'Shetland' again today while working on my beading. 

Patrick got home and waited on me to go out to eat. We ate at Talking Cedars tonight.  Food was really good.  We are working were or what we will do for our 42nd Anniversary coming up. The went to Safeway and back home. 

Worked on the top part of the ornament.  I was starting to work on the next row and realized this wouldn't work. Ended up taking it ...

This morning I was up before Patrick went golfing.  First things before breakfast was getting the black-eyed peas cooking in the crackpot.  The getting my bread ready to cook later in the day.

After walking I decided to watch a show on Britbox. Shetland, which I had watched a few years back. I started from the beginning.  I think I only saw 2 seasons but not sure. 

I worked on my panel. I got this far and Debbie texted me. She wanted to know if I wanted to go to DB for coffee.  I said, 'sure.' She picked me up ...

 Today Patrick headed out for golfing.  I slept another hour before getting up. I got laundry going and walked my 7 laps. 

Came on in and vacuumed.  Just as I finished Patrick came home. 

He set us up with BritBox. So, instead of waiting the news, I watched 2 shows of 'Vera' while he napped.  Plus beaded.

Two thirds of the last panel is now done. I will work on finishing it tomorrow.  

We went from the election news to watching shows on BritBox. 

I am really concerned if Trump gets in. A convicted felon!!! OMG what is this country ...

 Patrick and I enjoyed sleeping in. 

Since I didn't do much of anything yesterday, I didn't bother posting. It was one of those days that I didn't feel like doing anything.  I did listen to my book on tape.  And I sat and played games.

This morning I got busy cleaning. I started laundry before walking 7 laps. I wanted to stop at 6 laps but told myself I needed this walk. 

Came in and got back to cleaning. Got the dishwasher unloaded. Then sat to play games and play my games. 

Finished one of two panels ...

This morning it was raining so Patrick didn't golfing. Almost wish he had.

I walked 4 lap with Patrick and 3 laps on my own. It started raining again in the last 2 laps. 

Got mad at Patrick.  I had my ear buds in after he left me. He even saw me put them in. Came in the house and he started talking. Stopped my ear buds to listen. Then he shut up. I waited and he didn't say anything.  Turned the buds back on and he started talking again. He got frustrated with me because I had ...

This morning Patrick went golfing.  I relaxed and the went walking.  It was a pretty good day to enjoy 7 laps around the neighborhood.  It was cold but I was listening to my books which made it go faster. 

After Patrick got home, I decided to watch my shows and bead. 

I finished the one and started the other. This is panel two. Once these are done, I have two more to do and then I can put the ornaments together. I am thinking i will just make two this year. 

My cousin called today.  We chatted about the Matheson ...

 Patrick and I slept in. It felt good to sleep in.  It was raining this morning. 

We watched a couple of old movies.  I baked Date Bars. They turned out really good.

Then I decided I needed to fix my bracelet.  

I fixed the problem and when I was done, realized I made it too big. It doesn't fit now.

Patrick went golfing and I cleaned the kitchen by putting clean dishes away. Emptied the dishwasher and got laundry going. Walked 6 laps.

Patrick got home and loadep the truck with garage. We drove into town for the dump. Then we went to get the truck washed. 

Came home and I worked on my bracelet.  I am almost finished with it. 

I put the snaps on, but need more room.

I need to take this out and add a string of beades so the bar will work in the circle.  At this point I will do that tomorrow.  Then it ...
