Casino Day And Cleaning

This morning, I was trying to get a few things done before we headed to the casino. I had to pick blueberries and raspberries. Not only was I out there a while, but I ended up sweating by the time I came in the house. It was already hot! The sun was out, and I was killing myself by being out there picking berries! At least I was listening to my book while I was picking the berries. 

Then Patrick was ready to leave. He started out in pain this morning, so I didn't think he really wanted to go to the casino. Or maybe I was hoping. We did pick up the free gift of another portable cooler that was on wheels. The plastic and the rollers were cheap, so I really don't know how long that will last if used a lot. I will see if Katt wants it. We played a couple hours. Wasn't having much luck. Don't think anyone else was either because I didn't see any jackpots today. 

We stopped at Panda Express for supper. I was surprised when Patrick suggested it. Guess he likes it better than I thought he did.

Came home and I went downstairs to do some cleaning. I needed to get the fabric put away and decided since I had to cut backing and batting, I would cut the panels so that it was easier to just take one. Jo Pope is coming tomorrow to get another set of backing and batting as well as another panel to work with. She's been a great help lately! We are still looking for helpers. 

This is part of the stack I was working on. I folded another stack this high as well. We have plenty of panels to work with. Some people are picky as to which ones they want to do. I tend to grab one and put it on the wall. We have a lot of the same thing as well. With all the branches accounted for in here, we just need to get to work and get them done. I'm still waiting to see about finishing the one on the wall or the one on the floor. The one on the floor I think I'm going to give to the museum for their gala. I may ask the church to work on the quilting of it. I will chat with Colleen about that. 

Then I came up and worked on my cross stitch. Patrick took my phone before I got a photo of the work I did. I will show it tomorrow after I get a few more stitches done. I did about 300 stitches tonight. Which made me Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
