Went to check on Cherrill. She gave me a poinsettia because she had more than she needed. We chatted about how our holiday went. We chatted about the new neighbors that seem to have all their vehicles out in the yard. There must be 4 trucks and 2 cars. It's junking up our neighborhood. 😞
Called Ruth to see how she was doing. She was ticked because her daughters took over on selling the house. They sold it way too cheap. Guess Walter didn't do his job. He called her daughters when he had questions or concerns and he never answered her calls.
Then I called Uncle Bob to wish him a Happy Birthday. He was at the casino playing poker for his Birthday. I chatted with my Aunt and told her to tell him I called.
And then, I got a call from Dian Keepers telling me they are in the process of buying the house that is up the hill from us. They won't be moving in till Feb. So, we chatted. She's going to call mom and let her know as well.
I worked on another load of laundry, just to keep it up. Since I'm home, it's so much nicer to have the laundry basket very low.
Then I sat and watched TV along with working on my cross stitch.
I had a visit from the frog today.....it was a mistake that I made a while back. I couldn't believe i got the colors wrong!
So, if your one to see the differences, it's in the shoulder. I had put a big pink area in there. I had to take it ALL out. It's about 200 stitches worth that were over 1. UGH! I took it out and put it back in with the right color. I also finished the 10x10 area before that. It worked out better doing it right. But it was a pain in the "ARSS!" At least I was able to fix it before it was too late! This skin has been a nightmare at times for me. I like the way it looks, but I'm not that crazy about how the thread thins while I work it. It's getting close to the face, so I'm excited to get this done. I watch others get their stuff done so much faster than me. But then I think it's because they work only on cross stitch, while I work on other stuff as well. Hard to say. Maybe they are just faster than I am.
I started working on the Black & White quilt for Katt. I'm just quilting straight lines like she asked. Some I'm cutting the squares in half with quilting. The yellow is my light.
I got a lot done in an hour. So, I'm thinking this will go pretty quick. I'm hoping. At this rate, I'll work on my cross stitch in the afternoons and work on the quilt a night. I don't know if I'll get to work on the quilt tomorrow, since we bowl. I'm going to try and get an hour in tomorrow.
I do have my message therapy tomorrow, so it will be a wait and see day. When my message is in the middle of the day, then it's hard to see what I can get done tomorrow.
Life is good, I'm still moving along. I wish at times I was a little quicker at making things, but then that would take all the fun out of it.
So, I keep moving along, and I'm Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
