It's a daily blog that shows how busy I can be with too many projects and how lazy I can get at times. Even boring at times. It was originally for my children who where miles away. Now, it's just a blog. 6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.comBlogger3624125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-27850136028320803392024-03-09T18:17:00.000-08:002024-03-09T18:17:29.044-08:00Another Blot On Life<p> I haven't been able (or forgot) to do my blog. I am having to be in the hospital for a few more days. </p><p>On March 7th, my daughter's Birthday, at 3 am, Patrick brought me to Kaiser Urgent Care. I refused to go to Centralia to wait 12 hours in the ER. I was having chest pains and needed to be seen.</p><p>By 6 am they sent me to St. Pete's to be admitted. I was in the ER nurses area for 4 hours outside a room. I was then admitted to the second floor. There was was to have more test ran. They wanted me here 24-48 hours. Sent Patrick home. Then slept that night to be woken to go for a stress test. And scans. Didn't make it more than 4 mins. Then more tests. Dr. Wagoner ame in and said he wanted to do a stint in the morning.</p><p>So this morning I waited 6 hours to have the procedure done. I was awake the whole time. Because one was blocked so bad, I am now having surgery on Monday for a Bypass. </p><p>I am even surprising myself how calm I am. It's freaking Patrick out that I am so calm. He just left. I have my tablet and toys to play games, so no worries. I will try and keep posting but my forget while in the hospital. </p><p>It's not a place where I can be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8eM3mFnEMxWJVfOWhADs3k_eVX9QcFRJoNlr7029lb67SJyGERJtNj1hERAGkpNt-ZZDz-U_t2ftOYGwPNV_glnCvNT1Ky4Wm6XV43XBBvj1393KN-X_6ltXSsDkcpScPkJJrLrNkCeqd2syeLcoyzNuL4nbthcXReZCga1cmQUdcD83MNohBqZbs-C7/s4128/20240128_224329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3096" data-original-width="4128" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8eM3mFnEMxWJVfOWhADs3k_eVX9QcFRJoNlr7029lb67SJyGERJtNj1hERAGkpNt-ZZDz-U_t2ftOYGwPNV_glnCvNT1Ky4Wm6XV43XBBvj1393KN-X_6ltXSsDkcpScPkJJrLrNkCeqd2syeLcoyzNuL4nbthcXReZCga1cmQUdcD83MNohBqZbs-C7/s320/20240128_224329.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-38136334557170629032024-03-06T20:54:00.000-08:002024-03-06T20:54:57.089-08:00Beading & Dr. Appointment Day<p> This morning, we were allowed to sleep in. lol - AND when that happens, I can't! </p><p>I played a few games and was getting ready to meet up with Carol for doing the veteran phone calls again. She texted me, to say she couldn't do it after all. So, I decided not to go with Patrick to check on his appointment to see if the radiology would work on his liver. </p><p>While he was gone, I worked on vacuuming and beading. I also kept my eye on my game. Even had the audiobook going. Just as I was enjoying my beading - and laundry - Patrick came home. Said it went well and was told of what he could do if he wanted to. He really liked the doctor, but he was retired and filling in. He did give Patrick his personal phone number which shocked us both. He may do it down the line, but all three doctors told him to try the new meds that are out. Thank goodness he's not doing radiation right now. </p><p>I beaded the afternoon. I didn't play on the tablet while I beaded. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0P-oXiRUg_I3Z701CPfZkjTl1iycBtE_7z6jMdIElUZ3QvFpeNqZknTLckKNAYonqp2IqLnZbqvVfWP_HwJ71rbxsH1HfkFw_LD_07PHRr7qnXuMXg9zV52lVDKRmpswJncEygZi7x5Cy2Np1h8eTjl_neCi7h5rlZtI_PWKIzwUihU3_mcVVOJG4hpx/s4000/20240306_145502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0P-oXiRUg_I3Z701CPfZkjTl1iycBtE_7z6jMdIElUZ3QvFpeNqZknTLckKNAYonqp2IqLnZbqvVfWP_HwJ71rbxsH1HfkFw_LD_07PHRr7qnXuMXg9zV52lVDKRmpswJncEygZi7x5Cy2Np1h8eTjl_neCi7h5rlZtI_PWKIzwUihU3_mcVVOJG4hpx/s320/20240306_145502.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>This is my beaded pattern from my bead program.

It was cold! I walked around the block for 3 or 4 rounds, didn't count. Was listening to the book on audio, so wasn't paying attention. Just knew I wanted to be on by 10 am for our war game. </p><p>Ended up playing that game for 2 hours of "war." Then I sat down to work on my beading. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYx-XtFELwtiPaI3r_Tx0KVI8Ltvfhp1jrrz-dyVwvP6K0L87BwVI14q_08p0XNrSvn8p9gh4w5WAozHyttQcs0LDsZKMJz9Kb5pCF8ES51qz9AgDpqEH_ABwux4n0he6iLNmHhNMfO5hIGxareLQXnJhCAiWOVgmDJgm-f6dXyEpjk6jZ-9S8MhPVlbW/s4000/20240305_193759.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYx-XtFELwtiPaI3r_Tx0KVI8Ltvfhp1jrrz-dyVwvP6K0L87BwVI14q_08p0XNrSvn8p9gh4w5WAozHyttQcs0LDsZKMJz9Kb5pCF8ES51qz9AgDpqEH_ABwux4n0he6iLNmHhNMfO5hIGxareLQXnJhCAiWOVgmDJgm-f6dXyEpjk6jZ-9S8MhPVlbW/s320/20240305_193759.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>One more row was added.

This morning Patrick was up before me, so I thought he was going golfing. As it turned out, he wasn't going till around 9:30 am. The weather had frost on the course, so they had to wait. He said he woke at 6 am and couldn't go back to sleep. I was up around 7 am. </p><p>I was surprised I didn't have a ton of stuff to take with me. But I did take the last class project to work on. I really need to get back to the Bonji next. Sandy and I worked on our piece. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrs-ZhjzdHoHwlfbwNTs2rr6DVrFGDURikvEu4nD8aWOawhbAEJnNARVddKeu00FNw69zcns24OilKr3ifmBQCy6oHU9udtZogKmagEEWEqjTB3mvUbKL_WdBDtKfbqJuZ-FnDILRxtGhT4XUfEyUq0H2RbWme8h_Wf3m05Hk1Iu26iOuDEJfv1EjbYBF/s4000/20240304_124842.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrs-ZhjzdHoHwlfbwNTs2rr6DVrFGDURikvEu4nD8aWOawhbAEJnNARVddKeu00FNw69zcns24OilKr3ifmBQCy6oHU9udtZogKmagEEWEqjTB3mvUbKL_WdBDtKfbqJuZ-FnDILRxtGhT4XUfEyUq0H2RbWme8h_Wf3m05Hk1Iu26iOuDEJfv1EjbYBF/s320/20240304_124842.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>I put the stems in and then got started on the beads. The bottom berry is being worked with beads. I really do enjoy working on this but had to figure out the right way or a better way of putting them on. I will just keep working it and see what happens. </p><p>Sandy and I were talking. We are getting tired of the "same old same old," when it comes to Brazilian embroidery. We both like doing mixed media. We are talking about getting what we have done, and then deciding on what direction we want to go. I'm tired of flowers, which is what embroidery usually is when it comes to the Brazilian embroidery. I may have to go to animals or something different. That will be interesting to see. Plus, I still like working on my beading and cross stitching. Let's not forget, I have QOV quilts to get done as well. I may try to do that this week. Hard to say. It's a busy week for us. </p><p>Came home after stopping at Safeway. Then I pretty much went to playing my Treasure Hunt game. We have challenges going on and I wanted to get as much done as I could. </p><p>I'm just happy to be with friends and able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-59227955370663614212024-03-03T21:12:00.000-08:002024-03-03T21:12:00.006-08:00Play Day<p> This morning we had oatmeal that Patrick set up to cook this morning.

Katt called just as it was going. She wasn't happy because she didn't want it tomorrow. Chances are she will have it tomorrow. </p><p>We worked a little around the house. Getting stuff cleaned up. Then I started cooking the lemon meringue pie. I had 45 minutes to get it done! That's when I got Patrick involved. I put all the stuff together for it. Then I had to clean up a bit in the kitchen because we needed to run the dishwasher. He cooked the lemon part of the pie while I worked on all the other stuff. We put the egg whites and bowl in the refrigerator for when we got home. </p><p>We went to pick up mom and Nancy for the play in Centralia. "Nunsense" was the play. Patrick said it was the best one yet! I don't think I laughed so hard in a very long time! It was soooooo good!!</p><p>Came home and finished with the pie. Put the meringue on it and we had some for dessert tonight.

I had a couple things I needed to do. I even went to get some pen refills at Staples to find out I got the wrong one. PLUS, one of my favorite pens couldn't be opened to put a replacement in it. So, that didn't help. I may need to get another one tomorrow or wait till the next time I go. </p><p>Went to moms and there were 6 of us. Ethel didn't make it. She's been going through a few things lately, and since she's in her 90's it's understandable. The rest of us sat and worked on our stuff. Plus, we chatted - like the old days! Quilting Bee's. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEWJUX3glw9Z7XjTRI2x66c2e0ROq6pluQanNpaafRnfKm1U5gY6pF6wfOd2JC3-usAJGnwfzxMPyQgfo1htGh1NKUs-s69dulG_VYOhgj_PwkR1-Kof6dAiB39TqDgSJOsdmZNNC90KjgFHS_UnRlvRwj7w-yaQIxQx2AZqt56GmvwAoIbFsLptcgC9aG/s4000/IMG_20240301_111619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEWJUX3glw9Z7XjTRI2x66c2e0ROq6pluQanNpaafRnfKm1U5gY6pF6wfOd2JC3-usAJGnwfzxMPyQgfo1htGh1NKUs-s69dulG_VYOhgj_PwkR1-Kof6dAiB39TqDgSJOsdmZNNC90KjgFHS_UnRlvRwj7w-yaQIxQx2AZqt56GmvwAoIbFsLptcgC9aG/s320/IMG_20240301_111619.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>I reworked that leave I didn't like. I took the first one out and got this one done. I like it a lot better. Then I was going to do the stems. But couldn't decide if I wanted to do the small stems first or the bigger stem. Hate that. So, the more I look at it, the more I think I will do the bigger "thicker" stem first and work off that to get the smaller ones done. Once I do that, then I will be putting the beads on and calling it done. </p><p>Had to wait at moms till 1:30, then stopped at JoAnn's to give her the 2 bolts of fabric she needed for pillow cases. She showed me her quilt top she's working on, and I really like it. She got all that fabric from Diane that I gave her. A big black bag full. Can't remember what bag that was. Oh, well. </p><p>Then headed to see Phil on my way back home. Gave him a hug and said hi to Emily. </p><p>Patrick was home. He didn't go golfing. But he did go to Franz bakery to pick up some stuff. He had a big box full of doughnuts, cookies, and bread! lol He also came home with cream pies. Don't think he plans to share those!! 😋</p><p>I was just glad to be able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p><p><br /></p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-56159612630687800702024-02-29T19:14:00.000-08:002024-02-29T19:50:06.023-08:00Back To Work - 4 Finished Quilts<p> This morning Patrick went golfing. While he was gone, I started laundry, vacuumed, and took my walk. I started doing my exercises in the morning again. I did realize that I will not do the one where I am on all 4's. Those brought back the pain in my hip. Told Patrick I wasn't doing them again. Walking is my best bet and I have been doing that. Walked 5 laps today. Not quite 7 but it was way too cold. Between the wind and the rain, I gave it up. </p><p>I played games again this afternoon. BUT I did pull out the quilts that needed labels. I still need to get 2 quilts ready to be quilted. I can take one to the church or I can give one to another member. I will wait and see what I will do. </p><p>Before I show the quilts, I have a "funny." At least some people would think so. I was telling Patrick about the toilets at Kaiser. I told him they had a "lip" that I was wondering what it was for. Since he worked in Waste Water, I assumed he would know. Wouldn't he?! Well, when we went yesterday, I took a photo. Good thing no one was there, because that would sound funny if I heard a camera going off while in the bathroom. As I took the photo, someone did come in, but left before I was done. lol </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghEvPy5OkgNJdt9A2OjpbGNirfPfQL64AxfPcXXEMFs9M9rjQzex8TKfcuN4MojCoa7Fep37NfXPfNiSIcCR4KKd-1bF86umJsuYcgvrSnsar-a9mdhOzQ2dDix9ydJnA9E_yHhtcpEqnFyrNlML6sLJq1Ko96bmhgIIwH0d4pq27O5zGRTHrshiDsVId/s4000/20240228_111212.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghEvPy5OkgNJdt9A2OjpbGNirfPfQL64AxfPcXXEMFs9M9rjQzex8TKfcuN4MojCoa7Fep37NfXPfNiSIcCR4KKd-1bF86umJsuYcgvrSnsar-a9mdhOzQ2dDix9ydJnA9E_yHhtcpEqnFyrNlML6sLJq1Ko96bmhgIIwH0d4pq27O5zGRTHrshiDsVId/s320/20240228_111212.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>So, I showed him the photo.

It went really well. I'm healthy and things are looking good. We talked about everything going on. She's one of the best doctors I've had, and I have had a lot. </p><p>After that we headed to Rochester, to the Lucky Eagle Casino. We stayed a little longer than last time, but the slots are really tight. It's frustrating. We were there about an hour and a half. Patrick needed to go. He was getting bored of the rain and bored of staying home. Plus his brain is working overtime with his cancer issues. Like I told the doctor, his doctors didn't give him the death sentence, but it was an under current none the less. So far they are just keeping him alive with treatments. </p><p>Came home and didn't feel like doing much. So, I've been playing games. Think I'm going back into "grieve" mode. She said that when one has cancer, like my breast cancer, they go into a grieving time. Maybe because it's all over? Sounds good to me though, because it's a little depressing. Now that it's over for me, yeah, I think I'm there. </p><p>Maybe tomorrow will be better. So, all in all, I wasn't able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aoEmcWTsk0oejcUuY7nWj8Bec9SzUk94jo9Cet_FF-GKiKMMKDPInD5g5irVEOM6s8AHwVY10qIiIzycQyHkpgShBLU7b6phf78rytU5OSdHS-IZ-ITUI5NjCE_B5cmJNkPXusqLu8FkbX5RpGWtRNX4QEBgUfiMMhKASSN_uMpc75dNMK1Qz9OrQtDs/s4000/20240205_145255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aoEmcWTsk0oejcUuY7nWj8Bec9SzUk94jo9Cet_FF-GKiKMMKDPInD5g5irVEOM6s8AHwVY10qIiIzycQyHkpgShBLU7b6phf78rytU5OSdHS-IZ-ITUI5NjCE_B5cmJNkPXusqLu8FkbX5RpGWtRNX4QEBgUfiMMhKASSN_uMpc75dNMK1Qz9OrQtDs/s320/20240205_145255.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-49457147320987312432024-02-27T18:21:00.000-08:002024-02-27T18:21:46.911-08:00Wasting The Day<p> Today was Patrick's cancer appointments. One on zoom and one on the phone. </p><p>The zoom meeting was with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. He was very informative. I liked the doctor. He had ideas of what Patrick could do next. There are things he will try. I had the feeling this is just to keep him alive. We are on 3 years of this. It's hard to listen to at times. But then other times are uplifting. This one, was having me question things in my mind. </p><p>Then in the afternoon his cancer doctor. That went well and he's going to help. He's leaving, but he's still going to keep working with Patrick till he leaves. Then he will be going to my oncologist. </p><p>We all know life goes on. Me, I decided to play games. Easier to deal with the information at times. So, I wasted the day away. </p><p>I did try to walk but after 2 laps my chest was burning with the cold.

Sent a text to Sandy but she didn't answer, so took a shower. Came out and it was raining. Patrick didn't go golfing because of the snow. Sent another text to Sandy saying I guess I will be there. </p><p>Headed out the door. Stopped at the bank and then headed to Connie's. She had 3 quilts done. When I got to Harrison Ave, the traffic was blocked in all the lanes. There was a car accident between Safeway gas and Texaco gas. That is a bad spot where people don't want to wait for the light. It took me an extra 10 minutes to get to her place. Picked up the quilts and headed to the grange. </p><p>Cindy and Sandy were already there. Looked like they were talking seriously. Got busy with our piece. Sandy's was a lot farther than mine. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu7xmuS4U8kndwLohhL4S8NJHE22IEMYVe9jDU01DqsQnIhpRelKlfkGp5BTuZUwYXPvZt4FyCbWJlDfym81M0rUslOdkK34hnh4kis3Ytt_sjB-cH7VxkAJuOVU43aVWhWFWQOxEp8kGw8i9_AS0G-SzhSMuxdf-VLfeA0xLl2KpyAWhGvW3LfLqau-1D/s4000/20240226_122126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu7xmuS4U8kndwLohhL4S8NJHE22IEMYVe9jDU01DqsQnIhpRelKlfkGp5BTuZUwYXPvZt4FyCbWJlDfym81M0rUslOdkK34hnh4kis3Ytt_sjB-cH7VxkAJuOVU43aVWhWFWQOxEp8kGw8i9_AS0G-SzhSMuxdf-VLfeA0xLl2KpyAWhGvW3LfLqau-1D/s320/20240226_122126.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>I finished the last of the purple berries - as far as stitching the mirror down.

The top of the leaf has too many strands going in the same area. I'm actually thinking of taking it out and reworking it. At least I was able to get 2 of the mirrors done today. Wish I could have started on the stems but that didn't work out. </p><p>After the grange, I headed to see mom. She had some a quilt that was done. I picked that up and dropped off the 3 that Connie gave me. I also dropped off her taxes. She's been wanting me to go spend time with her. I will see about going over next week. I just seem to have to go everywhere lately or have doctor appointments that wear me out. </p><p>So, I came home and worked on some stuff for QOV. Then I worked on the water system bills. Once all that was done, I called it done and listened to my book while playing games. I was attacked in my game and lost all my troops. So, I'm having to heal the half that wasn't killed. My alliance was aware and they are working to find him. He keeps changing his name. It's going to take about 5 days to get back where I was. Ticked me off because of the update in the game and those with Androids (sp) are having to wait on the update. Which put my Behemonth out of commission. Therefore giving he a better chance to take me out. UGH. I'll get back up there and I will get back at him! lol </p><p>Even though I love games, I'm just glad to have been able to be around friends and be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-55968171997599227142024-02-25T21:08:00.000-08:002024-02-25T21:08:04.624-08:00Tapestry Beading Coming To Life<p>This morning, I was up early but Patrick was up earlier.

I had my breathing tests in Olympia today. It all went well, but I have to go back in 3 months. We are just checking to see if I am going down in one area. At least trying to see if there is a pattern. Told Patrick that I think I did that last year. The doctor asked me to come back in 3 months. I couldn't get an appointment that soon, so it's 5 months out. Like that's going to help. Anyway, I'm on the list to be called if there is a cancelation. </p><p>We then went to Costco and picked up a few things. Patrick grabs some crab legs for supper. I'm so okay with that!</p><p>Came home and got Phil's stuff in a box. Then got back in the car and headed to his place. Once that was done, we went to Rite Aid looking for some vitamins my doctor requested. Patrick is going to look into it, because we couldn't find what I needed. </p><p>Came back home and unloaded Costco stuff. Just as we were finishing, Debbie showed up and we headed over to Alli's place. First we stopped and got tea - her coffee. Then we went into Centralia and joined up with Alli. She's got a lot of great ideas. She's going to do the computer stuff for our QOV group. We will have a website for everyone to check out. I can't wait till it's running. I have to send a few things to her and then hopefully in the next month we will be up and running. I was telling her our FB page may have to be done all over again because it might be hooked to my personal account. She will check it out this weekend. Hopefully she can fix it. </p><p>Came home after about an hour and a half with her. Didn't have time to do much, so we fixed supper. Then I sat down and played games since I didn't get to do it earlier. I was thinking of doing some beading, but I really didn't have the time. As much as I would have loved to bead, it wasn't my day to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEB5VFMspk8B8xQ6-RDrb0xAooJ7ODIOsaA5UX27Us_uUVazKve3sOCyCfMPpljNxjvy5efB0JYTL8UXMJ-Ow_YwTsCvagytDEb3nistYDs_gPp_MnUFB2dhHY3Md829DkGmwZppgJeiPIeRaUHuDkSeGfhkg0GE2B2o-Ob_bxEiFmMhqFsKQNadFuWJNz/s1295/IMG_2566.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1295" data-original-width="1160" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEB5VFMspk8B8xQ6-RDrb0xAooJ7ODIOsaA5UX27Us_uUVazKve3sOCyCfMPpljNxjvy5efB0JYTL8UXMJ-Ow_YwTsCvagytDEb3nistYDs_gPp_MnUFB2dhHY3Md829DkGmwZppgJeiPIeRaUHuDkSeGfhkg0GE2B2o-Ob_bxEiFmMhqFsKQNadFuWJNz/s320/IMG_2566.jpg" width="287" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-4961303306725189922024-02-22T20:53:00.000-08:002024-02-22T20:53:01.121-08:00Progress - But Not So One Can See<p> This morning Patrick went golfing. I enjoyed the morning by walking and then playing games. There is just something about playing games that is relaxing to me. </p><p>When Patrick got home, we watched the TV show, "Finding Your Roots." I started watching it while he was golfing, so we watched 2 more after. It's fascinating to me. Plus, like them, I want to know where we came from. </p><p>It was time for Patrick to go to the City for a meeting and I had an oncology "zoom" meeting. I talked to her about Patrick needing to change to her. It's going to be interesting since she's getting all the ones from the 2 doctors that are leaving. It looks good on my part. I'm doing fine. Very few side effects that are bothering me. </p><p>Then I went and beaded. Had to get my mind back to normal after that visit. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2rwZeRfVUA7tE1YCqDn7w5jDPvMJSAt9g40atpn3COfSB5Cjzz0OYKx2dQ87Hgy9ocyClNnYc6kIF3oNfl8LjVJKKJ0Iy1tzEFUqpiYMCqdCwi81l3ZFFmbg6glBh6CcASyGcv_q-PCLguALmQR00stv-gu19vh6nlfWYqujzixEREi-OHHEORfBBhSU4/s4000/20240222_191305.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2rwZeRfVUA7tE1YCqDn7w5jDPvMJSAt9g40atpn3COfSB5Cjzz0OYKx2dQ87Hgy9ocyClNnYc6kIF3oNfl8LjVJKKJ0Iy1tzEFUqpiYMCqdCwi81l3ZFFmbg6glBh6CcASyGcv_q-PCLguALmQR00stv-gu19vh6nlfWYqujzixEREi-OHHEORfBBhSU4/s320/20240222_191305.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>From the photo, it looks like I have touched the top of Sophie's head. On the beading table, I was hoping I had gotten there, but it didn't look like it. This is 3 more rows done from yesterday. </p><p>I do hope I can work on this tomorrow. I have a breathing test tomorrow and betting nothing has changed. Then we will hit Costco and I need to go to Allie's in the afternoon. I will try and get another row or two in tomorrow. I'm having a bit too much fun now. Now that her face is coming into view. </p><p>That's why I like to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-44622656926746820392024-02-21T20:47:00.000-08:002024-02-21T20:47:29.700-08:00Rainy Day - Perfect To Stay Home<p> This morning, I was up earlier than I usually am.

Told him it's the bricks he was seeing more of. Then pointed out the ears. Told him if you look at Sophie (calico cat) you see 2 different color ears. That's why one is black and the other is tan. It's getting closer to the forehead. I can't wait to see how the face comes out. We will see. </p><p>Then after supper I just enjoyed playing more games. I keep going back to Treasure Hunt. I have like 3 accounts on that game. I really should go check my other games out too. 😆</p><p>When I got up to go into the bedroom to pick something up, I came back to this!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuf0p3b2q1lTcdjtCil5ds6uZm4Slrx-j3yCbAYC08LKpoxDFtacWd1onhgS59Df4QrNZMTJFtFywMWR5bUau3VcjKbTHSJVpkIwHgHeK2p9XjaLAnURu-gLHzSUpPro198HbEc4Wq2D1SqDCCVn_OsyJqXrev81nEm2ORwu5I_ZP63hwa8Vuu0lbeFy92/s4000/20240221_161020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuf0p3b2q1lTcdjtCil5ds6uZm4Slrx-j3yCbAYC08LKpoxDFtacWd1onhgS59Df4QrNZMTJFtFywMWR5bUau3VcjKbTHSJVpkIwHgHeK2p9XjaLAnURu-gLHzSUpPro198HbEc4Wq2D1SqDCCVn_OsyJqXrev81nEm2ORwu5I_ZP63hwa8Vuu0lbeFy92/s320/20240221_161020.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>No room to sit back down.

He actually came home early, so I ended up vacuuming while he was home. I would rather do it while he golfs. Got laundry started. </p><p>Then Debbie reminded me we were going to the Lewis County offices to check on our donation boxes. One gal said she would get them to the business and then another said to come get them. So, we went to pick them up. Four boxes later, we headed to the museum to give them one to put out for us. We stopped at Dutch Brothers for coffee first - and we all know I get tea! After the museum we stopped at the church to pick up a quilt from Rita. It's done and ready to be bound. I will take it to mom and have her do it. I probably need to trim it first. </p><p>Came home and after supper decided I wanted to bead. Couldn't make up my mind if I wanted to cross stitch or do embroidery. But then the beads are on the table, and I needed to work on them or put them away. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggiCe7e2myysG8ij30lOh7_cj0aXkiFMB1pj6KyR2sXzJKJ726wrqQLx1-dId5CTZIVnTP4svhXZe3KfV0A4VeSK_Fr4OQvZZDVlIPYxDO12mWEL-bVP_I3ES6LFiASElcrDxogPCJhv_ULTuZqAhEsla5es4NMjwWVDFRPUKqpei8J1HRQH9xf8GPQVDO/s4000/20240220_194115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggiCe7e2myysG8ij30lOh7_cj0aXkiFMB1pj6KyR2sXzJKJ726wrqQLx1-dId5CTZIVnTP4svhXZe3KfV0A4VeSK_Fr4OQvZZDVlIPYxDO12mWEL-bVP_I3ES6LFiASElcrDxogPCJhv_ULTuZqAhEsla5es4NMjwWVDFRPUKqpei8J1HRQH9xf8GPQVDO/s320/20240220_194115.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Three more rows later, and I stopped. The ears are showing up pretty good now. I do like this and need to work on it. Maybe again tomorrow. I also need to finish my class piece. I could go on with all the projects I SHOULD do, or WOULD do, but I seem to get myself in a mess when I do. </p><p>I sent off the money for QOV. Returned a check to another person and had to work on sending a message to our group. We will have our meeting in April. I WOULD like to do a quilt top again, but dang it!, I have so much going on! I guess I should be happy that I can be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-9374260764563689902024-02-19T19:25:00.000-08:002024-02-19T19:25:27.739-08:00Working On Embroidery Today<p>This morning Patrick was out the door with golfing. I was out the door to drop off the quilt to Connie. Then I headed over to the grange were Sandy and I arrived at the same time. She picked up tea for us. Then we sat and chatted. We both had the class yesterday, so we both got to work on our pieces. Sandy's green is a little different from mine. We even looked on YouTube and watched how another gal attached the mirrors to fabric. It was so much better than what we were taught! It holds the mirror a lot better than doing it Debbie's way. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59TAJBWTAH3zcQtjkvg5EOJvYMvtMonbMoOK8uFNK7EmEsdgMTKaGtv4adbhw93p2IGpd37Y62ZtVqN2107jf7AlVjHs6DsgKiLhKZAERGPUuRPo4cm3A9MGF-xOdphg-d9e29ErA6Ufe7e1_cxpfIqbpftwArMRU6_doEiJi6Th-795ib2qi5dfcz_rx/s4000/20240219_185527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59TAJBWTAH3zcQtjkvg5EOJvYMvtMonbMoOK8uFNK7EmEsdgMTKaGtv4adbhw93p2IGpd37Y62ZtVqN2107jf7AlVjHs6DsgKiLhKZAERGPUuRPo4cm3A9MGF-xOdphg-d9e29ErA6Ufe7e1_cxpfIqbpftwArMRU6_doEiJi6Th-795ib2qi5dfcz_rx/s320/20240219_185527.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>I found that I like the end result better. I used the technique on the purple berries. I will do beading on them when I'm done. The beading will cover them, but they look a whole lot better than the way I was doing it from class. We were a little disappointed in the class. Sandy is going to take the other class with me as well. It's in April so we have time. I'm going to work hard at getting this done! I want to get it off my plate and move on. I have one more berry to do, then I will work on the stems. The main stem is thicker than the rest. </p><p>We ended up staying till about 2 pm. It was the longest we had been there in a long time. We talked about one of my QOV members and grange member. He's getting himself into trouble. His plans are plans that neither the grange nor the QOV groups are allowed to do. He seems to think he can take over without realizing he doesn't have the authority. It will be interesting. Now I know what's going on with him when it comes to the grange. I will have to put a stop to it, if he thinks he can get away with it. </p><p>Got home and was hungry for French fries, so I made them! It was pretty good too. I got my fix for now. lol - At least the day was fun being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-30797566324620047242024-02-18T18:16:00.000-08:002024-02-18T18:16:40.577-08:00From One Thing To Another And Another<p> This morning we were up early. I was tired and didn't want to get up, but we had to be in Olympia by 9:30 am. Katt called when we arrived in Olympia and were about 30 minutes early. So, we sat in the car and chatted with her. It was good to hear from her and she's been on it when it comes to calling us. We get called every other weekend; mom gets the other weekend. </p><p>I had my tensity test this morning. It went really fast. The gal was surprised at how flexible I was at my age. Guess the older we get they expect us to be using a cane or something. lol Me, not so much. I like to walk too much. 😁</p><p>We were back around 11 am and I had lunch. Patrick was on the computer for awhile. I cleaned up the dishes in the dishwasher, cleaned the litter box and then got laundry going. Didn't get much done with the laundry thought. </p><p>Then it was time to go on the computer for my zoom class. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCDvQ1zTtz24YMlCTI-79w6K1uYlrIPqwg9RIUqe5CCnFBeqEsNGyVcQfP1iR0I5UNyWygO3-3Hl6W9GpBUt9OeA994iktRCCgqt_IsDZgYKFfwmGnecKYBnQDAxhNCmpNJARRdz1euHgzS2wNj6S25gV33WJ3nXFOvhfqQTQW2P0QqliD1P2PmqhR5Zu/s4000/20240211_150627.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCDvQ1zTtz24YMlCTI-79w6K1uYlrIPqwg9RIUqe5CCnFBeqEsNGyVcQfP1iR0I5UNyWygO3-3Hl6W9GpBUt9OeA994iktRCCgqt_IsDZgYKFfwmGnecKYBnQDAxhNCmpNJARRdz1euHgzS2wNj6S25gV33WJ3nXFOvhfqQTQW2P0QqliD1P2PmqhR5Zu/s320/20240211_150627.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Debbie's class. Only one person missed the class. We worked on what to do with the beads for the berries. We didn't do the beading because we needed to attach the mirrors for that. I had finished 1 1/2 berries by the end of the class. </p><p>Then it was our group zoom meeting and 3 of us from the class were there. I finished the second berry and then went to work on the leaves. I was able to get 2 of them done. I have one more leaf and then I can finish up the berries and stems. I May put the stem on first before I do the berries, or I may wait and add the stem that goes to the berries till after I'm done. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNsYr-7nNW8FEwVLlfC0WGRdpyeJDSjz3Kfvc5KhGfLod4221HXZxTrSvzm0KjhyMTa0MOAShN3xhcJ_MgnI-afNeyhrGUClDjzNvFSRh0YrbW_4Oh5RnAWdW3QEkTX4bffMrzh7PQshV73AwFnUgU_UPuj5R5e3NZ_IaZg7g3lJTT0dnptKhO8J1wnVVm/s4000/20240218_180521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNsYr-7nNW8FEwVLlfC0WGRdpyeJDSjz3Kfvc5KhGfLod4221HXZxTrSvzm0KjhyMTa0MOAShN3xhcJ_MgnI-afNeyhrGUClDjzNvFSRh0YrbW_4Oh5RnAWdW3QEkTX4bffMrzh7PQshV73AwFnUgU_UPuj5R5e3NZ_IaZg7g3lJTT0dnptKhO8J1wnVVm/s320/20240218_180521.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>I will be working on this tomorrow at our BE meeting.

Patrick changed the sheets today instead of tomorrow because he wanted to get the new mattress heater on. We lost the heat on his side of the bed. He decided he wasn't going to wait for the fall to get another one since it's still cold at night. He was warming his feet on my side of the bed when we went to bed.

I wanted to get it done and over with so I could get on the computer to work on genealogy. We went shopping and, on the way, stopped to drop off some batting and backing for Linda Nelson to quilt the quilt she has for us. I had to cut that before we left. </p><p>Patrick spent part of the day on the computer for moms' taxes. So, while he was on, I played games. Then it was time for me to get on. </p><p>I wanted to get some of Bryan's information into the computer and work on ancestry - since it stops on the 28th. I should have been doing this earlier. Oh, well. At least I can chat with Bryan on Friday about what all I have entered and what information I'm not sure about. </p><p>I basically worked on the MATHESON family, since Bryan is a MATHESON. I added a few more names to my tree. I also found a lot of them on findagrave and had to add the death dates on them. Ancestry had some more information as well. Then I noticed I was entering distant cousins who passed away around the age of 56-63. Depressing when they start coming up at that age. Some photos on them make me think I've seen them. Chances are I haven't, but I guess we all have the same features and don't realize it. Really interesting. </p><p>I tried to back up my TAYLOR tree, and it wouldn't back up. I tried at least 5 times. The computer would block up and then tell me the thumb drive didn't have enough memory. Total wrong. I will load the Wineland family on tomorrow. </p><p>I wasn't feeling good today. So, working on the computer helped a little. I had to cut another backing and batting for Debbie as she called this evening to let me know she has a quilt top from Kristi. I took a break and went down to cut the backing and batting. Then I brought it up to wash. It's in the laundry now. </p><p>Patrick is getting set to work with Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle. They called a couple times today. </p><p>When I'm onto getting family history done, then I really don't get to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1sOwZhx34lJJ_2Dwq4XiGR3fTQzGmjmAJdhq7MaQWrfggNvYNAnxB97T3z0s-yIrd8Y2V_hvk1NUfOufsDyHd0uDFN7RxNYvvs5p74HEDyuQbibVHMZp3CFE4ip0nzAR6qwZa2T_hy5D1poqC9UVLeCprSJtnKDht2koMDeJ6qGxnfJC726M9VgIdx_y/s640/IMG_5718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1sOwZhx34lJJ_2Dwq4XiGR3fTQzGmjmAJdhq7MaQWrfggNvYNAnxB97T3z0s-yIrd8Y2V_hvk1NUfOufsDyHd0uDFN7RxNYvvs5p74HEDyuQbibVHMZp3CFE4ip0nzAR6qwZa2T_hy5D1poqC9UVLeCprSJtnKDht2koMDeJ6qGxnfJC726M9VgIdx_y/s320/IMG_5718.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-6946014368005202162024-02-13T20:33:00.000-08:002024-02-13T20:33:34.525-08:00What A Day!<p> This morning I was up and got moving right away. I vacuumed the house, got laundry going and then took a break. I was still moving on washing and cleaning when Patrick arrived. He was off golfing. I was surprised I didn't even touch the tablet till after everything was done. Once Patrick got home, I walked my 7 laps. </p><p>Came in and then sat to play for awhile. Then I remembered my list on the counter, and went to cancel my ancestry account. While I was at it, I wanted to move my Family Tree Maker to the new computer. That was not an easy task. I also needed to get a letter written to a wife of a veteran that wanted us to make another quilt for him. We don't (and can't) do that. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWbBFrKpp2B2n9_6nGK_4aqF-VnekhcoY7brTu9mZ6aa_B1cvvZpu7HIph_9vBTeIKnZje08iJfau8lozqO6R3b-7_z734ymuZl4274puTQXP2-i4uA2_LZtRQbpOxUGqvEsLgt_vDlgTnXSHZG2WlazIzKaorSNkAnMzukmv6JAKBJOyhhHuYh2Ywies/s4000/20240213_201748.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWbBFrKpp2B2n9_6nGK_4aqF-VnekhcoY7brTu9mZ6aa_B1cvvZpu7HIph_9vBTeIKnZje08iJfau8lozqO6R3b-7_z734ymuZl4274puTQXP2-i4uA2_LZtRQbpOxUGqvEsLgt_vDlgTnXSHZG2WlazIzKaorSNkAnMzukmv6JAKBJOyhhHuYh2Ywies/s320/20240213_201748.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>I worked on getting my laptop program backed up. I was able to do the Wiltzius family but then I kept restarting the Taylor family. So, I headed in the settings and changed the time it had to wait before shutting down. Now after 2 hours, its about 3/5's done. UGH! </p><p>I was able to load it on the computer but ended up on the phone for about 30 mins before I could get to where I needed to be to get it loaded. Once I was directed to the right spot, I knew I had it. It's now loaded and I have been adding information my cousin has been sending me on the family. I spend the 2 hours adding information on the MATHESON family while I waited for the back up on the TAYLOR family tree. I loaded that from ancestry to the program on this computer. I'm going to take the back up and load the WILTZIUS family tree on it tomorrow. This has been a long process, but it needed to be done. My laptop is starting to give out on me. I may end up taking it to Ed and letting him set it up for charity or something. Frustrating when the laptop is dying on me! I've only had it about 5 years. They aren't cheap either. Now I'm back to a computer and hope it will work for now. </p><p>It wasn't a day where I could being enjoying Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82112038333473872.post-15816845329403451842024-02-12T21:13:00.000-08:002024-02-12T21:13:56.027-08:00Always Enjoy Friends<p> This morning was embroidery day.

We ended up on the phone with USAA for a good hour to an hour and a half. I was able to help. Mom couldn't hear them, and I had to relate to her what they were asking. The first gal, I think, thought we were trying to get into someone else's account. She got a supervisor, who asked 3 security questions. Mom couldn't remember her word code and that started off with the security questions. I had to listen, shake my head no, and then say "yes" for mom to answer. She passed the security questions and then the supervisor said I was already on the account to be able to talk to. When the gal got back on, she asked what we needed, I told her, and she send me to another guy to help us. I started to ask a question and she had transferred me before I could get the whole sentence out. I couldn't believe it! The guy we did get was awesome and he took care of the issue.

Just couldn't sleep. Patrick slept another 2 hours after me. So, I sat and played my games while he slept. I even tried to see if I could get the game on the computer but couldn't. I was to be on the game at noon. </p><p>So, while I waited for our "war game," I decided to bake Patrick his Magic Bars. He wanted them the last couple days. I even picked up the coconut for it. So, when he reminded me this morning, I decided to get it done and over with by the time I had to play on the tablet. He headed outside and worked in the garden. He spent a good 3 hours outside with the sun out. I worked on laundry and then realized he is going to pile more laundry for me tomorrow. Oh, well. </p><p>I spent the noon playing with game friends. It went well, but I didn't do so good. I got stuck with the other team killing me off. lol So, I had to go back to the safe zone. Ended up in 36th place and no solo rewards. Oh, well, I know better next time. </p><p>We watched a couple shows this afternoon. I pulled out the cross stitching to work on. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2U3Vn9Y9PKa9FFWEc3qK-FQ4bnCWWB_c_oegzgKStHrO7botdo14x3XH-LLDLu2ECvft1uihk12gD-4yisSh3anM4z806sgDp5Ruxm98WjL9xerHxY-HCYPXtCFf_eA-c78pEtvsO3ds9cHsrZYrkdyc6FoIxwBt62CYR1r02GOmzzMeeoYIOsxVTFOmS/s4000/20240210_204125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2U3Vn9Y9PKa9FFWEc3qK-FQ4bnCWWB_c_oegzgKStHrO7botdo14x3XH-LLDLu2ECvft1uihk12gD-4yisSh3anM4z806sgDp5Ruxm98WjL9xerHxY-HCYPXtCFf_eA-c78pEtvsO3ds9cHsrZYrkdyc6FoIxwBt62CYR1r02GOmzzMeeoYIOsxVTFOmS/s320/20240210_204125.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>As soon as I did, Sophie came to see if she could get my attention. She knows when I plan to work on something and doesn't waste any time coming to be in my lap!

I'm next to the tip of the dove's wing. I'm working my way up to the top. I was able to do about 400 stitches today. I filled in a couple empty spots in the white. Now I'm working my way up. I need to add the gold in the white area that's in the blue. I will work on it later. I like how it's looking. </p><p>Now it's time to call it a night, and I'm just glad to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!</p>6th Generation Quiilter, Crafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761708142508065684noreply@blogger.com0
