It’s a lot colder today. My shoulder was killing me when I got up and my left knee wouldn’t work. I did go for a walk, but it was short. There was no wind so I got out my heavy sweater coat. It was made with two strands of bulky yarn and tightly knit. It’s heavy and bulky, and very warm. It’s good for standing out in the cold and cat bedding and that’s about it. I don’t think I could even drive in the thing. And don’t even ask to see a picture of the thing. You don’t want to see me in it. It is not a pretty sight. Now, are you asking why did I made it? Well, I am not going to tell you. I was, but I don’t want the world to know how bitter I can be. It is probably the cold weather today that makes me think this way.
We’re going out with the neighbors for dinner. We usually have dessert at my house. I am thinking about raspberry brownies with cream cheese filling. I should also try to dig out the dining room table so we can play dominoes. Doug spent about three days going through his mother’s old papers looking for his birth certificate. His middle name was misspelled. He isn’t happy. I would also like to finish decorating the tree. We put it up around eleven last night. I never thought that I would have an artificial tree, but the time that I dislocated my left thumb(I’m left handed) changed my thinking.
I’m sewing Jenn’s tunic together so maybe next time I will have a picture. I finally managed to get a good picture of Gus.
Check out the background.
The socks were a pair I started last summer, but forgot about until I was looking for yarn. The mittens were made from Lion Brand yarn that I think my mother had. It said machine washable and dryable on the label. It was the only kind she would use. They are thick and soft so I hope they make someone happy. Now I can get back to my daughter’s tunic. The reindeer are also about done, but I am not looking forward to putting them all together. It will be worth it. They really look good.
Here are my oldest and newest Haflingers. I love these shoes. They were made for me. The arch is perfect. I can put on a brand new pair and wear them all day like they were my oldest. That includes walking down to the horse farm with my goofy dog. I wonder how long I can go without scraping them. I bought two pair because that’s what they had on sale in my size.
He’s so helpful.
