This morning, it was our BE meeting. Like I was telling Sandy, we are about to drop out of the group at this rate. We have 6 of us and there are times only mom and I are meeting. I don't mind that much. At least I can spend time with her, and she doesn't get too upset when I don't come around. She did have the certificate that I needed to mail. So, I brought that home. Mom didn't have her earring aides in. She said they didn't charge overnight. I didn't talk much but she did. When she asked a question, I had to write it down. Even close up, she couldn't hear me. I just sat and worked on my embroidery for the class.
I liked how the smaller thread made it work better. But it still wasn't good enough for me.
I was able to get the two parts done and then I decided I wanted to go over it again to see if that worked better. This photo shows the second layer about 2/3 of the way up. I was able to finish the half part and started the other side before we left for lunch. I think it looks a ton better than just one layer. Even the back looks a ton better.
We went to Happy Teriyaki for lunch. Mom wanted to take some food home for leftovers. I got another order of steamed veggies. I had them for supper. Since I got enough, I have more for tomorrow. I love the steamed veggies.
Came home and Patrick was in one of his mood - one I can't tell if he's mad or just doesn't know what to do. I think his mad about all the contacts from Kaiser about his Calcium levels. It's a pain just trying to get it under control. So, I took a walk around the neighborhood. I only got 4 laps in. I lost count and thought I did 5 till I stopped and saw my watch telling me it was 4 by the miles.
Then I needed to get busy on this piece! I have to get a LOT done by Thursday and at this rate, it's going VERY slowly!
The leaves and stems are supposed to be DONE by Thursday. It took me 2 hours to get this far. It's a stem stitch that goes up and comes back down on the whole piece. The area close to the bottom is the threads I was trying to head. It will be hide by the next pass. There is a LOT to do on this. That's just the left leave and I still have the stem and right leaf to do. Hopefully tomorrow will help. I won't be able to do much on Wednesday because we are headed to the casino. lol
Today is the most I have done in a long time. It felt good, but I'm not there yet. I wish we had 2 weeks to get this done. At least I can't say I wasn't Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
