Day After Christmas

Today I enjoyed sleeping in. Patrick even got up before me. Then I sat and enjoyed my breakfast and playing games. 

Then Patrick and I went through our Kitchen cabinets. We pulled everything out and then checked everything to see if they expired. Of course, some did. Found a spice that had 2009 on it. We were able to get rid of a lot of stuff. Then we rearranged the cabinets to work for us. Took stuff of the counters and put them in the cabinets for more room. My baking stuff is by my tea, since I do both of those in that area. Then my cooking stuff is in the area by the stove. We ended up with the top shelves having very little to them. They are too high for me to reach. Patrick said he would get the stuff down when I needed them. Which won't be very often. I do want to make some white chocolate chip cookies with macadamia nuts. I will do that tomorrow. We also cleaned up the cabinets toward the dining room table. Those have noodles, soup, and that kind of stuff. 

Once all that was over, I pulled out my cross stitching again today. 

Got this much done and then it was time to eat. We watched TV while I stitched. 

While watching the Seahawks, I worked on it some more. I'm happy with the way it's coming. I am not crazy about the white area of the beard. There is a lot of it, and it's a pain to work on. That area has white, off white, and tan in there. I understand why, but it's so much of it, that it can get confusing for me at times. At least I mark each row off that I do, so that I don't get the rows messed up. When I get to the top white in the right side, I will have half of this done. Bottom half in case it wasn't figured out. I worked on the gold. I don't care to work on that, but I did. At least the stuff I ordered came in, so I'm good and ready to get it done. I almost wish I had found a tan color that would have worked out better. I'm not crazy about the gold. I have a couple places to fill in and then I can continue on up the piece. It's coming along nicely. 

So, my day was pretty much being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
