Yesterday was one of showers. The high got to 4.8C. This morning it is cloudy and 2C. We are to have it cloudy and 3C today. We are under a special weather statement saying it wills start to snow tonight and all day tomorrow. I guess I get to use the shovel tomorrow.
Lifestyle
I had an early lunch and headed out to watch grandson play soccer with family. I really enjoyed the afternoon out watching the game. The teams were well matched but the reffing wasn't that good. Grandson's team lost 1-0 and it would have been 0-0 if the ball hadn't bounced into the goal. It was a freak goal to say the least.
We were home in fairly good time and I went grocery shopping. I met my friend as I was leaving the store and she was worried about me. My curtains were closed and she hadn't seen me for a couple of days. I'll go for tea one day soon.
I had a great day walking without a lot of pain. I made myself walk up and down the driveway while waiting for family to arrive and again in the parking lot while waiting for them to come out with grandson. I had no pain sitting in the back seat but used a cushion on the hard seat while watching the game. I couldn't stand for long on the cement floor as it made my legs tired. I did the stairs easily. Going up is great, coming down is a bit harder but I can do it. Improvement noted.
Sewing
I spent the morning sewing up the gift bag. It took a bit longer than expected as I had to sew two rows of stitching for a ribbon channel. I am really pleased with how it turned out.
I had a bit of time to do some paper crafting while waiting for family to pick me up. I made a tag for the junk journal. I had bought a tiny gift bag and cut it apart. The front became a tag.
While at the soccer game we had tea. I saved the cardboard sleeve on mine and it will become a tuck in the book for the above tag. I will add some snowflakes to it.
Knitting
I looked at the heel flap and saw a mistake at the start of one row. It wasn't a slip stitch. I unknit it and it was a slip stitch but I had put the yarn to the front of the stitch and not the back. I knit until I had the flap done. I'm ready to turn the heel.
Thoughts
I am thrilled that I had little to no pain yesterday. Riding in the back seat of the car showed me how much I have improved since I started osteopathy and physio. It was a milestone I needed to have to remind myself I am getting better.
I am having fun making fabric gift bags. It has me digging into the stash to find pieces to use for the lining. I love to add embroidery to some of them and will leave others plain as they are nice prints. I may be able to buy some pieces of Christmas fabric when it comes on sale so I can make more bags during the year.
I am also having fun planning the junk journal. Knowing it has 3 signatures (3 parts) means I have to make a lot of ephemera for it. I have done the first of three counted cross stitch tags. The other two will be a nice Christmas tree and a snowman. The tag made from the gift bag is one of three smaller tags I will make. The tuck band made out of a coffee cup sleeve will be one of 3 I make. I have ideas for one more but not the third one. Some items I will be making using the Cricut, others I will cut by hand.
Today
I need to do yoga this morning and then do the balance sheet and pay bills. I am out the door at 11 am with daughter-in-law and grandson. Grandson goes to soccer practice and we are going to a craft bazaar. I am not sure what I will do when I get home. It depends on how tired I am. I start the chart for the snowman so I can cross stitch him. I will knit tonight.
Until the next time...................................................
