Back To Making Ornaments

 This morning we were woken by the phone call. It was a return call from the church where we will have our water meeting. Then I went and got the bookkeeping up to date and paid bills. Once that was done, Patrick and I went to the post office and then over to Michael's. 

While we were at Michael's, we looked for frames for the 2 pieces I have ready for framing. We wanted to do our own framing for both of these. 

They had a deal - 2 for 1 price. These were expensive, but 2 for the price of 1 was a pretty good deal. We framed my Mermaid that I finished a couple years ago. I like how it turned out. We will frame the next one with the cross stitch I finished before the mice. We are going to get another color for the panel between frame and piece. (can't think of the name right now.)

Then I decided to work on my beads again. I needed to take the gift piece a part. 

More beads to separate. More beads to put in their places. It was another couple hours getting what I did done. Still have more to do. I will try and get the rest of it done tomorrow - IF time allows. It's my day at moms for quilting. The group will be there, so I'm not sure when I will get home to work on taking the beads apart. 

 Then I took a break and got back to work on my ornament. This is the 3rd set. I started this the other day, and as you can see, didn't get very far. Needed to work on my exercises and play with Sophie. 

I was having fun with her. She would hide behind my back "board." It was fun watching her play. I like playing with her. She loves it when I pull my back board out, because she thinks I'm going to play. I can't play till I get my 10 mins on the back board. She's a kick. She comes to me and puts her tail in my face as well as rubbing up against me for attention. 

It turned out to be a good day. We were able to get out of the house, and I was able to get a few things done. I have the quilts that need the bindings on them to go to moms. They will be passed out to the ones that said they would help. Then I have to cut the labels and give them out. I may need to order more labels. I'll do that later. I'm all set for letting everyone put our QOV quilts together. It will be nice to add these to the list of quilts at the museum. It puts me in the mood to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
