This morning, was physical therapy. I had it early, so I was back by noon. I stopped at moms to visit but she had a gal there for her Mary Kay makeup. They were playing. I didn't want to, and I left.
Came home to find in the mailbox my Round Robin piece. It was what the gal who was before me was supposed to have done. She had to quit, so she sent me what she was getting. I decided to get to work on it, because it needs to go back in the mail in a weeks' time. I got a message from the gal putting it on, and found that the gal I sent my stuff to in Canada, decided to quit because of the postal service in Canada going on strike. So, if she sent my piece out, it may be stuck in the mail. As for the piece I sent her, I have no idea if she even got it. I hope she has it. Or has sent it on.
The gal that was before Erin, I think it's Jenean, found this pattern in a free stack at the retreat. So, she thought it would be pretty in Brazilian Embroidery - rayon threads. I tend to agree. I'm the first one to work on it. It has 6 places for each of us, but now that we lost 2 of us, we will be 1 short. Even my bear will be missing an area.
The markings on the piece will NOT come out, so we have to make sure to cover them. I tried, but I think I'm a little off on it. I decided to work the leaves first and now I'm going to work on the flowers. They will be layered. Dark yellow for the outside of the petals and then a lighter yellow for the inside. The center part will be pistol stitch or a straight stitch with a colonial knot at the end. I'm going to think about what would work. I hope this looks good enough. I really liked the yellow flower they had, so I decided to go with it. Plus, this flower looked to be more fun than the others.
We went down to Longview for Red Lobster dinner. I was really surprised at the menu and the prices! They have doubled since we were there a few months earlier. Plus, they didn't have a couple things that we wanted. So, Patrick got his shrimp - but not shrimp scampi - and I decided on the special of the day - fish and chips. I wasn't in the mood for shrimp and haven't been for a while. The last couple times Patrick made it, I didn't care for it, so I'm not wanting it.
At least the Mariner's won today! Plus, Phil sent us a gift of 2 Mariner's shirts!! I was thrilled. I even wear my Seahawk's T-shirt with my Mariner's jacket! WE WON! I may have to wear them again on Sunday!
It felt good to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
