This morning, we were up bright and early. Patrick had his kidney doctor appointment, and it was at 8:30 am. We were out the door in time. Got up there and were in and out pretty quickly. Even Patrick's blood draws were done fast. I like his kidney doctors, she's a kick and she's on it with his medications. She's the first one to call him when his electrolytes are off. Too bad she's not a GP, or I would go to her! lol
We then went to Costco! OH, MY! It was crowded. I didn't get a couple things I wanted but oh, well. I wanted some of their cookies in the tin. I also wanted some chocolate nuts, but those were all gone. We got a pumpkin pie for Debbie since she forgot when she went last week. lol We picked up a few things for Phil as well.
Came home and unloaded. It was pretty fast. We did get a couple things on sale. I was laughing with Patrick at how cheap I am. I look for deals and have a hard time buying things that are expensive. He reminds me we have the money and not to worry about it. BUT I do. I am always saving money when I can. I told him it was fun yesterday and yet to me it was expensive. I don't do it often but it was really fun. He told me, "Then it was worth it." I laughed and say, "Yeah, I guess but still think of ways to save money." What the heck! I had FUN and ENJOYED myself, so I should suck it up and not even think of what it cost me.
Best time with Best Friends! Sandy E, Geralyn, Sandy V, and myself. It was awesome!
Time to wrap gifts. So, I looked for something I worked on to give to mom. I had plenty to pick from. The one that Patrick picked, I wanted to keep. This one we had to get it in the frame. It's a little wrinkled in the frame, but we tried. There wasn't much room in that frame for this piece. It was all we had at the last minute. I wanted to drop off moms gifts tomorrow, since she will be back the day after Christmas.
I got my "winnings" from the drawing. They are embroidery works that Virginia Chapman made. She passed away this year. She also started BDEIG back in 1998 (I think). I know we are over 23 years. But can't remember when it was started. Virginia had gone to Brazil and found the embroidery works there. She bought a lot of the threads from Brazil and brought them back her to introduce to America. From there it grew.
This is one of them. I sent the photos to my BFF's and they were to pick which one they wanted. I think this is going to Geralyn because she didn't reply as quickly as the other two.
Sandy E asked for this one.
Sandy V, asked for this one as well.
I decided on this one. I like all the work she put into this one. More to my liking then the others. I did like the holly one as well. Since there are 4 of us and I won 4 designs she did - and they are her designs as well as made by her.
I then wrapped gifts. I have them all wrapped and ready to go. Think we will drop the off tomorrow and get it over with. Nancy said there was something there for me at moms house. I will pick it up as well. Then we can spend the rest of tomorrow and Christmas with each other. It will be lonely without family, but I'm getting used to it anymore.
At least I received some beautiful pieces of work from Virginia Chapmen which has me thinking I need to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
