Quiet Day....For Once

 This morning, Patrick went golfing. I enjoyed being able to sleep just a little longer. 

Once I was up, I played for a bit, then I went out and walked 4 laps in the neighborhood. I was worn out by that time. I really need to pick it up and get moving more. At least today was a start. 

I watched some TV for a bit, on Britbox. I watched "Shetland" and couldn't believe how dark it was. I mean, the killings and the way my heart raced as I was hoping the person would get away. Wow! What a mess! I still don't know what's going to happen, but I can tell you, it's not pretty. A little darker than "Vera" is on that show. 

Patrick got home and wanted to watch a couple shows to get caught up on what we are recording. I'm getting tired of those. I even told him that. So, I'm going to stop recording some of them and call it good. I don't want to see them as much as I want to see stuff on the other streaming channels. 

I pulled out my beading. I got started on the ornament. 


This is the 3rd try and getting this to work. I was getting frustrated, till I noticed it said "round 1" and then realized what I was doing wrong. I would do "round 1" on one side and then do "round 2" on the next side. INSTEAD of going around the piece. I couldn't believe I was doing that! I usually take a lot of time trying to figure things out, but dang! 2 - 3 hours of putting it together, then taking it out, starting over, and taking it out again. Round and round I went. Trying to figure out why it wouldn't work. DUH!! 

After all that, I called it a night and will start all over tomorrow. I have a hard time with the different sizes of beads as well. I will get this yet!! AND then I can be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
