What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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 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 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,  I was up and playing my games. Ron called outside our yard, to let me know he was waiting on me. He was chatting with his son on the phone, the whole time. We only did 3 laps today because it was so hot.

Patrick wasn't doing good today, so he slept most of the day. I went into the computer room to clean up my pile from the vacation. 

I pulled out my beading boxes and added the new stuff to it. My mystery box beads were put in tubes and filed in the boxes.

I ...

Patrick was up before me. Think he was uncomfortable and got up. I slept a bit. 

I played my games, then called Ron to go walking around 11 am. We walked 6 laps and I called it done because it was way too hot for either one of us. 

Patrick picked some apples,  so we peeled and cut them for apples sauce. We did get 4 containers full. May do another batch tomorrow.  

We watched a couple different shows.

I got my monthly mystery box with beads.

Now I just need to put my beads away.  I will try and ...

This morning, I was running behind. I had to get moving for walking. We did 5 laps around the neighborhood but thought we did 6 till I realized I was counting wrong on my tees. We had stopped and chatted with Kevin Hubbert and thought we counted wrong. After I got home, I figured out we did. Oh, well. 

I spend the rest of the day till 4 pm working on family history. I was adding a few things on Findagrave. I was also putting obit information into my program. It was long but it needed to be done. I ...

This morning, I walked with Ron, and we got in our 6 laps around the neighborhood. He was doing pretty good today. At 94 years old, I hope I am as good as he is at that age. 

Came in and started cleaning a bit. Got laundry going. Even got the cat litter cleaned out. Every couple weeks I wash the litter box itself. Then bleach it. Doesn't seem to both Sophie. But it does make me feel better when I wash the box. 

I was waiting for my bag of tubes to come in so I could get ...

This morning, I was up at 6:30 am because of all the sun coming through the windows. I couldn't go back to sleep even if I tried. 

So, I played on my game and then got ready to go to moms. I stopped at Safeway to pick up a couple things. Once that was done, I arrived at moms with a few people behind me. There were 7 of us today. 

I pulled out the pattern that I needed for the first block. 

This morning I decided to go to my Brazilian Embroidery meeting. 

Before I even got out the door - 

Our meeting was just Sandy and me. We had such a good time! I didn't take anything to work on, but we chatted the whole time. I did work on getting my word chart done for the Christmas ornaments for this year. I need to get those done so I can start working on them. I will do more later. 

Came ...

 Today I was enjoying being home. I really like having the time to sit and just relax before the holidays and surgery. I did get a call from the nurse about surgery next week. I'm starting to get nervous but trying not to. Take each day, and I'll be fine!

Patrick went golfing but was back home by 11:00, guess they only did 9 holes. So, I didn't get the day to myself but that was okay too. 

I worked on getting the next ornament word chart done. I'm only about half way on the ...

 Ok, I tried to sleep in. Easier said then done. Dad seems to wake the dead when he talks in the morning! Of course my sister in law Chris, seems to always do a big breakfast. So it was sausage, bacon, pancakes, yogurt and fruit. With 3 kinds of fruit and juices.

I went out on the boat to sit and chat with Patrick and Sue. Then the rest started coming on board.  Next thing I know we are off for another sight seeing trip. This may turn into a daily thing. The pontoon boat goes slow. Dennis and Molly ...

We didn't have our BE meeting today. So, I tried to sleep in - but didn't. Patrick did though. 

I started laundry and it didn't go very far. Think I got 2 loads done all day today. We pretty much watched TV most of the day. I did get my monthly beads today. I love the colors this time. 

I have some of them and will add them to what I have. The others I will work on getting them in my boxes. I will do that later on. 

Then I worked on my binding. 

I finished it ...

 This morning I was surprised Patrick slept till 10:30 this morning. I had to wait to get my shower! lol 

When things settled down, I got started on laundry and walking. Then got going on the sourdough bread. 

This is one of the piles I work with. I found that my whites are so close in color that I have to do them separately now. I have 2 piles that are the same, and I know they are different. So, I will have to put them in a pile and see if I can tell the difference. At this ...

This morning I wanted to sleep till noon. Didn't happen but was a though. I did get up and get ready to see Debbie when she stopped by. I looked all over for my white material that Kristie brought to me yesterday. Couldn't find it. Searched all over, called Debbie and Connie. They didn't have it. After Debbie came and I cut more batting, I asked her to check at the Woodland Village in case I left it there. Then told her to wait till I check my car. OH COURSE IT WAS THERE! 

After she left ...

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.
