When he finally got up, we headed to Safeway to get some groceries. Brought those back home and then went to pick up Sophie at moms. Told her we are guaranteeing a week before we get too close to her. She showed me all her finishes! She really kicked butt while I was gone. Brought Sophie home.
While I was in MI, I was able to buy some beads. I had to go online to see what I wanted, then I called them. Once I called I told them I would be there to pick them up. Patrick's sister and I were in town one day to do a few things and call mom to see how things were going. I picked up my order from the Noc Bay Trading Co. I really wish I could have gone in the store. They are in Escanaba but because of the Virus, they were closed to the public. They are opening up tomorrow. Never fails.
I'm telling you all this because I had the bags of beads and went to my closet where my beads were. I decided I needed to put them somewhere else. So, I cleared out 2 shelves in my closet and 2 shelves in my vanity.
I had the beads on the first and second shelves. I had the books on the top shelve. Decided to put my winter stuff on the top shelve, books on the bottom. I went through my books to decide what I wanted to keep and what I was giving away. I have 8 1st Editions that I'm going to try and sell. I have a BIG stack of books that I will take to mom. She can give them out. I wanted to take them to the Gathering Place so they could add them to the library. I may still do that.
I then put all my beading stuff in the 2 shelves in my vanity. I still have room. When they were in the closet I didn't have a lot of room to work with. Now I have plenty of working area.
I did all this after unpacking all the luggage. We are not going to take that much clothes next time. We didn't even use half and it was 50 lbs and 48 lbs in our luggage on the way home!
After all that, I posted 3 books on eBay to sell. They are first editions. Earlene Fowler's book - Steps to the Altar. I also have Catherine Coulter books - Blindside and Hemlock Bay.
Then it was time to play and after that it was time to cross stitch.
I worked on the writing. The lighter color of the variegated thread gets a little lost.
This is Patrick and his brother. Patrick is really getting skinny!
This was taken after we went out to eat on Wednesday. That chair is huge! It's so funny! It took a lot of help to get me out of that thing!! In case you haven't figured it out, this is Patrick and myself.
The weather was wonderful! As you can tell with the calm water. This was in the back of the restaurant we went to. We could only sit at the table with 4 people, so we ended up with 2 tables of 4. It was really good food too! I did enjoy this trip!
Couldn't remember if I showed this. I was able to get this far while on vacation. I really did enjoy working on this. I have a lot more to do, but it's a start.
The best part about all this is that I am able to find time to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
