Then he suggested pretzels. So, I decided I would do the pretzels. They turned out pretty good, but they aren't "hard" but "soft" pretzels. I did like them. We had them with cheese.
It made 6 pretzels. I think I need to let them raise a little more before I put them in the boiling water.
They cracked great! I do like them. Patrick did the twisting.
Then I went back to working on my cross stitch.
I got the frame work almost done. Then I went to finish up on the bird. I did get some outlining done, but not much. I was getting frustrated with my PILE of floss. I really hate that. As you can see, I put the extra floss on the sides. Not that that helps sometimes.
Then I wanted to listen to my audio book, but Patrick took my tablet to play my casino game. AND watch his shows that I really don't care for. So, I went to get my beading of the Polar Bear. I decided to try and bead on our trays....well I got all the beads out and the next think I knew, I lifted the mat by accident and the beads all blended together. So, the next hour was spent trying to put the beads back where they belong. I then put them back in the tubes and called it done! I have a few beads that I'm not sure where they go, so put that in an empty tube.
I then decided to do my blog...........yeah, no.........my computer went black! I started it again, and nothing. So, I had to wait for it to come up. Patrick looked at it and thinks it's going out. My computer is only about 5 years old!! UGH UGH. He looked it over, then backed up some of my stuff. He's ordered a couple thumb drives and will back the rest of it up. Family history is one that needs to be backed up. AND I have the new updated version, so this is going to be a pain in the butt!! I'm not happy about this.
So, my evening didn't go good. I didn't get to listen to my book, and I didn't get to work on the Polar Bear beading. I'm still waiting on them to mail my beads, so at this rate it will be a week or so before I can finish my beading. I checked on my eBay orders from Russia and China. Both were at customs and haven't been moved since.....that was March 12th. So, again, not my day!
Now, I'm watching my taped movie on Hallmark with Patrick - who really isn't into it. So, now I'm done for the day! I'm going to play games and TRY to RELAX. I'm getting tired of being home all day. I'm getting to the point that I KNOW I need to go downstairs and cut backing and batting for 3 more quilts. I KNOW I need to get back downstairs and finish another quilt top. But in all honesty, I don't want to. I'm not in the mood. Yet, I need to. So, this weekend I will TRY and go downstairs and get some stuff done.
Hopefully I will get back to being Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
