Yesterday was one of snow squalls and wind for the better part of the day. The high got to -9C. This morning it is -14C. Today is going to be a mix of snow squalls and sunshine. The high is supposed to get to -8C. The wind is coming from the south so it will warm up in a few days.
Lifestyle
Yesterday I was tired but I forced myself to do things. I unpacked my suitcase and I have little piles here and there to put away and all my clothes are in laundry baskets to be washed. The washer in the apartment wasn't the best so my clothes don't feel clean. That is today's job.
I was out to shovel some snow off the driveway before lunch. I got that part salted also. I went over to family's house to deliver what they had put into my suitcase and to give grandson his Christmas gifts. I left quickly as they had friends visiting.
My next trip was to the grocery store to get a few items. I wanted soup so bought some cheddar broccoli soup for lunch. I enjoyed it a lot. I also had some meat and cheese. After lunch I went out and shovelled the rest of my driveway and put out some more salt. I was done so I laid down and had a good nap for 1 hour.
I was still tired so was in bed in good time and slept a good solid 8 hours. I am amazed at that after napping in the afternoon. I am feeling better this morning and ready to do a few more things.
Sewing
I did not go into the sewing room yesterday as I was too tired and too busy doing other things. It was also a day not to sew or I would have screwed up a project.
I need to start cleaning the sewing room a bit each day this month so it is really clean. I have it tidied up but need to do some deep cleaning.
The Edwardian outfit will be worked on for the next couple of months. It is going to be a slow sew as I have other things to make.
I have to starch the fabric for a quilt so I can start it. It will be a gift for son-in-law. I am starting out with an easy pattern before I start on one for me. It is a bit more difficult to make.
I am doing Sewing With Cinnamon again this year. I am looking forward to doing each month's projects which will evolve around the updated Design Academy. It starts on Tuesday.
I also want to start making doll's blankets from a big bundle of fat quarters. These are suppose to be quick and easy to make.
Knitting
I got out my knitting and knit on the 2nd sock I took to Uruguay. I got the heel flap knit and the heel turned.
My next knitting projects for this month are to make another pair of socks for me and to knit a sweater for the Edwardian outfit. I will be busy every evening knitting.
Today
I have to do laundry which I will start shortly. I also want to get more stuff put away as I have little piles here and there. I also need to do a bit of cooking so I have healthy meals prepared for the next couple of days. I may look in the sewing room this afternoon if I have time. Tonight I will knit on the socks. I am hoping to avoid having a nap today but that remains to be seen.
Until the next time............................................................
