Yesterday was another sunny day with a high of 0C. This morning it is snowing lightly and -3C. Today is supposed to be cloudy with a high of 3C.
Lifestyle
I was out to help make sandwiches at the hall. My job is to cut the sandwiches into 4 and put them on trays. It is a job I really enjoy. I love to make them look really nice and even. I don't hate making sandwiches as I enjoy the challenge of having them look tidy when they go to be cut.
When I got home, I had a coffee and then headed out to grocery shop. I got what was on my list and 3 items I had forgot about. The store was busy and I was happy to get everything and get out.
I decided to empty a tub of crafts and put it into another partly filled tub. The empty tub has the Christmas quilts and pillow in it and that job is now done. I have 2 old throws to deal with once I decide if I will buy a new throw or make a quilt in winter colours. If I make a quilt, I will have to buy all the fabrics for it. I am leaning towards navy blue, light blue, grey, white and maybe sage green.
I did have a nap after lunch. I was so tired that I was almost in tears and was falling asleep on the couch. After hour's nap I felt much better and I did sleep better last night.
I was out for dinner at family's and we had wonderful curries. I also helped daughter-in-law prepare for our local hall's AGM. We did an agenda and some financial work. We got it all done by 6:30 pm and was out to the meeting. It was an interesting meeting. Elections were held and daughter-in-law is the president and I am the secretary.
YouTube went crazy on me last night. It kicked me off my channel and when I went to sign in on my laptop, it stated it was having issues. I left it be for a while and then it worked again. Not sure why it was acting up but looking at a TV screen saying that I needed to log in was weird.
Sewing
I did sew yesterday which was probably not the best thing to do. I played with the eyelets and put them into the stays I had made. I used my crop-o-dile to make the holes and some eyelets I wasn't sure about. The test one worked perfectly so I proceeded. They went in and are staying in even when pulling on the ribbon. They are not perfectly aligned but they aren't a big mess. It was a learning curve for me.
Next I decided to do some buttonholes on a big scrap of fabric. I made three of the 5 button holes on the shirt and am taking out 2 of them to redo. The one I am keeping looks good.
Knitting
I did knit a bit last night on the scarf. Fifteen rows to be exact and I have to get the last ball of that yarn up from the basement.
Thoughts
This morning's snow was not in the forecast. Flurries yes but it is snowing harder since I got up. The only good thing is that everything will look pristine rather than dirty. It looks like is isn't going to let up anytime soon though the weather map says it's to stop in the next hour or so. I really don't want to shovel a lot of wet snow.
I was lucky grocery shopping yesterday. Most everything was on sale. I am trying to use up what I bought in January and only buy what I need this month. I am also trying not to over buy as the grocery store is close to me. My hope is to grocery shop at Walmart next week which is a longer drive. I have a few things to get at other stores which are not in my community.
Today
I am going to finish cleaning the spare bedroom and vacuum and mop that floor along with a few other floors. I will watch the snow amounts and shovel if I have to but closer to noon. This afternoon I want to finish the doll's blouse and prep to sew 2 zippered bags. I also have to make dinners this afternoon. I will knit on the doll's sweater and the scarf. It is a day at home for me.
Until the next time.................................................................
