Today was Patrick's Birthday. He didn't want anything and said it's just another day to him. I'm not that way when it comes to Birthdays, but then he treats it the same. lol
This morning, I wanted to get some stuff cleaned. I got started on laundry, that didn't get me far.
I had the Roomba going in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/dining room. We then mopped the floor. I kept finding things that needed cleaning and was doing that. I think all morning was nothing but cleaning here and there. Like spring cleaning, I guess.
Patrick's siblings called and chatted. Then we watched Graham Norton show.
Seahawks game was on, so we had to watch that. I was worried a couple times because they messed up! But in the end, they are going to the Super Bowl and hopefully will win!!
I decided after the game to try and see if I could do a pansy flower in embroidery. I wanted it to look like a pansy and not something different. I needed it for the Round Robin. So, I went downstairs and pulled out some floss, a scrap of material and drew my design. Then I went to work to see how it came out.
I don't usually do that. But I found that I like how it's coming along, so I'm happy enough to work on the Round Robin piece. I need to get it in the mail and out of the house. lol I also decided to try and get the colors I needed as solid and not variegated as it's easier to work with the solid colors than the variegated. I ended up using 2 strands, working the dark first, then going back with the lighter color and work it in. If I wasn't careful, I would have a lot of the lighter color sticking out waiting for me to use. So, I found some lighter blue/purple colors and will do that for the round robin. At least I can do it, and I think I can do it well. We will see. I need to get into doing stuff on my own and not relying on a pattern.
So, I'm happy to say, it was Happy Stitcing/Happy Quilting!
