It Was A MY Day!

This morning I was up a little later than usual. I behaved by not playing games and going to Cherrills before 9 am. I stayed and had tea with her. I came home at 10:30 am and couldn't believe it!! I try not to be there longer than an hour, but it was almost 2 hours! I couldn't believe I wasted that much time talking!! I don't chat that much!

Once I got home, I went downstairs and turned the fireplace on. Then I got started on my cleaning!

I re-organized the quilt tops. The ones on the bottom has some quilt tops that are ready to quilt. 

Even found this one in my stash. It's started with quilting. I FOUND ANOTHER UFO!! Not what I wanted. Okay, now I have about 4 quilts tops that are ready to quilt. Most are small, but they still need to be done. UGH. So, AFTER the Black and White is done, I'll start chucking them out. I will try and get a few of these done. 

Next was going through this mess! 

As if we don't have enough fabric! I did get rid of a few. Not enough! I did organize it better. Funny how I was only able to get this done before calling it quits. I figured if I do a little at a time, it will be less painful!

Not a major chance, but it was a change. I didn't touch that bottom right side, because that has the fabric I've saved for my next Hawaiian quilt. I have enough for 3 more quilts. BUT I haven't designed another one yet. I need to finish a few more things before I do that. That fabric sticking out was $100! But it's hand dyed and for a Hawaiian quilt. The bottom left is all my white fabrics that I have. 

I was enjoying the heat down there, since it's been so cold lately. 

So, my counter was looking pretty bad. It's still looking sad, but the pile in the back was put into the cabinet with the other tops I have done. I was able to get rid of  few things and it's looking better than this right now. Still needs more cleaning. 

At about 1:30 pm I called it good and got back to working on my cross stitch. I have her arms almost done. I got about 300 stitches in - most of them was the over 1 stitches. I had to take one of my stitches out because I had the wrong color in the "spot." I took that out and am ready to get working on the face and hands. I'm hoping this will get more done tomorrow. I'm really loving this piece. I can't wait to get it done at this rate. 

Patrick came home and we went to the movies after supper. We say the "Growing Up" - I think that's the name of it. It had Tommy Lee Jones in it. It was pretty good but I was surprised at the ending. I expected something different and it finished weird to me. But it was a good movie so can't complain. 

Now it's time to finish things up and get my exercise done. Once that's done then it will be time to call it a night. 

Tomorrow we are hoping to have a "relaxing" day after the casino. I need it!! But we first have to stop at the folks for Patrick to help mom out. Sunday I'm bowling in Longview and then at night. So, this weekend has been labeled a busy one. I'm not looking forward to the constant going. 

At least today was a day I ca say I was Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
