2019
January 1: Happy New Year. We have black eye peas for luck with some nice Cornish hens and salad, having spent the day putting away Christmas. Then leftover banana creme' pie for dessert.
January 2: more clean-up and working on down-sizing projects. We've started our "spring cleaning" a bit early. It takes us quite a while as we often run out of steam early.
Oops, I forgot. My New Year cast-on was a second Estelle cardigan. The original one turned out to be a bit small - I could stretch it with extra blocking, but I wanted one that fit better.
And I plan to knit it in the round, then steek the opening. My K stitch is so much better than my purl stitch.
January 3: More cleaning & organizing. I feel as if I am actually seeing a reduction in "stuff".
January 4: Took the mister into town to pick our now very valuable truck. Then I did the weekly shopping - taking much longer than I wanted as things just seemed at cross-purposes for me. After that msH came home with me for a weekend visit.
We tried on the socks I am making for her; they were too small to get over her arch, so although the sock itself fits her foot just fine, I will have to re-do the sock pattern for her.
January 5: Today msH did some sewing on her "uncle Daniel quilt". It's been a bit since she last sewed so we did a bit of practice first. This quilt is a long term project, but it's coming along.
We are going to bake some cookies, too.
January 6: This is Epiphany, the last of the 12 days of Christmas. Reflect on God's presence in our lives and be thankful for all that is blessed to us.
Today msH, G-grampa and myself had Oatmeal for breakfast. This is her favorite thing to have in the morning, that we were surprised when yesterday she said let's have pancakes and oatmeal tomorrow.
