I can’t believe we’re already in
December! It’s almost Christmas. Am I ready? Not in the least!

November 29th
We
didn’t take very many pictures this week, so on a couple of days you’ll see
some that are a little odd. Like this one, of my crazy new pants during my
daily walk. I’m pretty sure I’m not ever leaving the house with these on, but
they’re really soft & comfy.

Dr. M saw a cow.
I made a quick little gift for
our office party. I love the buttons! Found them at JoAnn Fabrics.
Square #3 of pattern #24. The
LAST SQUARE!!! Well, it’s the last square until I figure out what to do about
the 4th blanket (the one I’m making for Dr. M and me). As I said
last week, I’ve pretty much run out of yarn & it’s discontinued – still available
online, but pricey. We’ll see.
Tuesday,
December 1st
I started piecing together the
blanket of many colors.
Wednesday,
December 2nd
We had our first snow of the
year. Fortunately it was a bit wimpy.
Thursday,
December 3rd
On Wednesday when I came home from
work I realized I was missing one of my earrings. I was sad because I think I’ve
had these for 30 years or so. Fortunately when I went to work on Thursday
morning the missing earring was in the parking lot, undamaged. So they only had
to spend one night apart.
Friday,
December 4th
It’s pretty much Hawk Central in
our part of Ohio these days.
Late Friday evening I FINISHED
BLANKET #1!! I used a polka dot border, which you see here. I’ll try to get a
good picture of the whole blanket sometime when I figure out how (it’s 80” x 52”).
Saturday,
December 5th
We had
freezing fog overnight & woke up to a winter wonderland. So pretty!
I sorted out Blanket #2 & pinned tags on it so I
could get started on piecing it together. (Sorry for the even worse than usual iPhone photo - the sun was really bright!)
Our fiber/yarn group from church (Heart &
Hands), met at one of our member’s homes today. Mother Lynn blessed the house
& we had communion – and then we had a meal together and talked while some of us worked on our
projects for a bit. We always have such a good time together.
Hope everyone has a great week!
How fortunate that you found the missing earring in a parking lot. It really is an attractive earring.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stephen's comments. And that cow looks less than pleased to have his portrait taken.
ReplyDeleteAnother great week, Bug. Glad you found the earring. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of "soft and comfy" myself!
ReplyDeleteLove all those hawk pictures! I saw an owl sitting on a light pole the other day, just begging to have its picture taken. Sadly, I was driving in traffic at the time. I bet the owl was laughing about that.
Very lucky finding the earring!
The blankets are coming together great! How lucky that you found that earring. It's amazing that no one else picked it up or ran it over. Love the cow!
ReplyDeleteThe combination of your mittens and you earring story reminds me of a story I heard years ago. As her train was pulling out of the station, a woman saw the mate to her glove on the ground outside her window. Another woman was picking it up. As the train pulled away, she quickly threw her other glove out the window. I love those mittens and the button makes them special. So cute.
ReplyDeleteYou snow is pretty.
I absolutely LOVE this story!
DeleteI love the snow, and the freezing fog. I like the house blessing, too. My mother always had a plaque in the kitchen that said, "Bless this mess." Then again, I have a note she made to herself, in her own handwriting. It says, "Being disorganized is not a moral failing." :-)
ReplyDeletei think your blankets are amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI want some pants like those! and I would wear them out. glad you found your earring. I thought I had lost my diamond studs again!. I thought I had put them in the box I keep my earrings in and fishing around I couldn't find them. I took everything out and put it all back one earring at a time and they weren't there. 20 minutes later, I looked in the box again and there they were. The Borrowers must have had them. and I love the blue/green/white blanket.
