I Tried

Today, I slept in. Hoping to have a day to myself, doing 'Not Much.' But hey, we all know how that works out for me. 

Trouble is, my hubby is home with me ALL DAY! Which usually means he has something for me to do. Yep, that's how that works. I ended up having to clean the kitchen so that we could make apple sauce. He picked the apples 2 days ago. So, he wanted to make the apple sauce before the apples went bad. Lucky me. I ended up peeling the apples while he cut them and started cooking them. Then he walked away. When I noticed they needed stirring, the bottom was burnt. So, I had to move the sauce out of that pan to another. Which he had the nerve to say it was my fault the apple sauce started to burn, because I was supposed to cook it. Yet, he wanted to cut the apples and get it started. Go figure! 

Next was the croutons. I had a garlic parmesan bread from Costco that he wanted to make into croutons. I baked them. The last batch had a few burnt pieces but not enough to complain about. He must have eaten them all because I just realized I didn't see them in the kitchen when I turned out the light. 

I decided I needed to get away from him and his TV, so went into the computer room and worked on the ELDER and MATHESON family history. I think I added another 50 names or there abouts. I'm now at 14k family members in my "Taylor" family side. Most of those are on moms' side and not dads. I need to work on the Wiltzius tree and will probably do that here soon. 

I also worked on doing another beading pattern. I looked for Katt's cat photo to see if I could use it. 

I wanted to do this one, but the board behind her is as dark as she is. When I did it, that area came out black and you couldn't see where she started and ended. 

So, I did this one. The weird part is that the flowers in the back have the same colors in her fur. But one can tell where she started and ends before getting to the curtain or whatever. I'm thinking of doing this one, once Sophie is done. It will be 6 months before I do it though. At least this one worked out okay. 

About that time, I decided to just sit and relax. I would have listened to my book, but that wouldn't work with Patrick. He talks while he watches the game shows. Which means half the time he's talking to the TV and half the time he makes a comment just to see if I'm listening. Think it's a game with him. 

As much as I tried to do my own things, it didn't work. As much as I wanted to work on my beading, it didn't work. I may have to go into town tomorrow, so I'm thinking I won't try and see if I can tomorrow. It will be interesting - since today I wasn't Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
