Quilting Yesterday - Cross Stitch Today!

This morning I didn't feel any better than I did yesterday, actually a little worse for wear. I stayed in bed for awhile and played a couple games before getting up.

Once I was up, I watched TV and worked on my cross stitch.


Even though I'm not happy with this piece, I need to finish it. So, I worked on it some more. I'm getting there, but the stitches are not as "perfect" as I would like. I've found myself having trouble with the holes. I'm not using a magnifier on this, natural light works great. I have done some ripping out. I just hope the floss doesn't run out with some of the ripping out I've done. The photo of this looks good, but the more I work on it, the more I wonder.

I have a couple more pieces that I could be working on as well. I want to work on the family tree one, that was started a long time ago. I may do that yet.

Katt's quilt was put on hold today. Not sure why, when I think of how warm I could have been under that piece. I think I'm going to go get the hoop and use that instead of the bars. I can't seem to get it tight enough for me.

I've been behaving and not doing much at all today. I may call it a night early at this rate. My eyes are swollen and I noticed my eye sight isn't very good today - even with my glasses.

I can't complain - I'm still enjoying what I do. I'm not stopped by this cold. I'm going to keep working!

Tomorrow is another day....what will it be?!.......oh, yeah, forgot, it's Saturday.....which means it depends on what Patrick has in mind..usually the casino. So, who knows what tomorrow will bring, but I'm ready to deal with it.

Life is good, life is unpredictable, and Life is being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
