Then I got going with my games. Once I was satisfied, I decided to work on my beading. Ended up trying to figure out what I needed to do. Almost wore the carpet out by trying to decide what to do. When 1 pm arrived I had decided I better get going on mom's and Patrick's cake. Moms because it's her Birthday tomorrow and Patrick's because he wanted that cake made. We will cut a 1/4 of the cake and take it to her tomorrow. That way they both win.
Patrick worked on my clock!! I'm so thankful to him!! That clock is over 150 years old. Dad got it when I was around a year old while we lived in Germany. It's been in our house the whole time growing up. Brother Patrick has the Grandfather clock that was with it as well. My Patrick got this one working again!! I'm so thrilled! For the past 2 days, it's chimed on the half hour and the hour! I love hearing it again.
Ages shows on it, but Patrick has been taking really good care of it. He got it fixed on my Birthday about 3 years ago. I worked for about 6 months and then quit. So, yesterday he decided to take it apart to see if he could fix it. He looked online and watched a few videos. Then it worked. But then the pendulum would work and it stopped the clock. He did more looking and found out why. He fixed it and now we are back to telling time. It was so funny watching Sophie. Every time it chimed she would stare at it wondering what the heck was going on.
Once I got the cake in the oven, I went to do some beading.
I only got about 4 rows in. I took this photo to send my brother. We were texting each other about what's going on. I really enjoyed an hour of going back and forth with him. I hadn't talked to him in a long time, and just wanted to know how he was doing.
Ethel called and we chatted a half hour too. She was asking where the labels go on the quilts for QOV. She's been doing the bindings and the labels. I really need to order more labels.
Chatted with mom as well.
While supper was in the oven, I kept busy with games and beading. I just wasn't in the mood for much today. I did do laundry though. I just couldn't get myself to sit down and work on something....it was a weird day for me.
After supper I finished up with the cake. Patrick frosted the cake and I worked on getting moms cinnamon buns going. The disadvantage of baking and baking is that one ends up cleaning and washing, then cleaning and washing dishes again. It doesn't stop till the last of it is done. I swear I washed dishes at least 3 times today. Actually twice, Patrick did a load as well. UGH. I do have a dishwasher but the baking pans really don't go in the dishwasher. At least some of them, I don't trust in the dishwasher. Some say I do more work then I need to, but some of my pots that went in the dishwasher came out in bad shape.
Patrick frosted it, and then had to put powdered sugar on top of it. Not what I would have done, but he's trying to look fancy. lol
I really can't say today was a good day for me, but I can say it was productive. Not quiet Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
