Had Fun Today

This morning, it felt good to sleep in. I think it was because I took a sinus pill. lol I usually can sleep really well when I do. 

Got up and got the laundry that was left over from yesterday done. I had to run it though the dryer one more time. Then I sat to play on my tablet. 

After I finally got up and got moving, I took a walk. Going around the neighborhood 7 times. It felt good to walk because my headache wasn't very comfortable. I don't know why, but lately, I'm getting a headache more often than I care to admit. 

Came in and cut the bread I baked the other day into squares. I made croutons for Patrick. He got a lot out of it this time. I realized I had the bread raising overnight and that doesn't work unless I'm going to reshape it.  I know not to do that. Sometimes it happens with cinnamon buns as well. That's why I let them raise downstairs since it's a lot cooler down there. 

Once all that was done, I decided I didn't want to go downstairs to finish a quilt top. So, I pulled out my cross stitching and got to work. 


Like I said before, the white was easy to fill in, once I had the off-white and beige done. I still have more to do, but need to fill in the white. This was where I thought I would quit, till I realized my tablet needed to be recharged. 


So, while I was just sitting there, I had to do something! I pulled the piece out again, and added the grey, red and dark brown stitches. I think that's about another 100 stitches, since I added a few more off-white and beige stitches in the red area. I thought I had them done, but realized I needed to add more. I have 2 empty spots in the beard and will fill them in later. I just wanted to get to work around the red area again. I'm getting tired of white. Plus, the off-white is hard to put on because it blends into the background, and I don't realize my "x" isn't an "x" till it's too late. That's when I have to take it out. So, the magnifier comes in handy at times. At least it keeps me Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!

Another PLANNED Day That Got Messed Up

 This morning, I was up and enjoying my time for a bit. Unfortunately, Patrick got up shortly after and wanted to remind me of things I said...
