Embroidery Day

 It was embroidery day. I was off and out the door by 9:30 am. I forgot to take the boxes with me to take to Colleen. I will try and do that tomorrow. 

Arrived to see Geralyn already there. Sandy V didn't come because she had a cold or Covid and she wasn't sure which. Think she said she was going to the doctors if she could get in. Geralyn and I enjoyed a bit before more came in. Mom joined us and we were asking about Geralyn's mother, since she's been in and out of the hospital this year. Mom and her where chatting about my grandmother and her mother. I was trying to work on my Seattle piece to try and get it done before retreat. I figured out I was missing the patterns. I don't know what I did with the patterns. 

I had to fix the space needle because the couching stitches were so loose. I don't know how they got so loose, but they did. I took it out and put it back in. Then I started to work on the tree. I need to fill in the bottom a bit more, I think. I also need to work on the top. I was doing each branch at a time. There is more needed for that tree. Came home and started going through my stuff to find the patterns. Still no luck. I can't figure out what I did with them. I know it's in my embroidery bag, but not sure what I did with it. UGH Sent a message to Sandy letting her know I can't find the patterns and asked if she would send them to me. She was in the hospital with her husband. So, it may be a while before I get them. I guess I will have to keep looking. 

On my way home I picked up some iced tea for Patrick and a med. order of fries at McD's. I haven't had their fries in a while and was hungry for them. It made up for my lunch - that I didn't get. lol

It got hot again today, not as bad as yesterday but still too hot for me. I slept good last night, so it's okay so far. Even when we have been in the 100's I have been able to sleep in the bedroom without having to go downstairs. 

I played my games for a bit and then pulled out my ornament to work on. 

I didn't start this till about 2:30 pm. At least when someone asks me how long it takes, I've got it right. I can do 1-2 panels a day if I put my mind to it. I was able to finish the one I started yesterday and start on the next one, which is where I had it before I started working on the first panel. It's fun. I have 3 panels done with 3 panels to go. Won't be long, I hope. 

Sophie let me know how she felt about me working on this. lol She wasn't budging. 

I was still able to get as much done as I did even with her there trying to stop me from being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
