Four Pouches Completed

 Yesterday was mainly sunny with a high of 2C. This morning it is cloudy and -2C. Today is supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 4C. 

Lifestyle

Yesterday I had a busy morning. I stripped the bed and put the sheets on to launder. I then set about giving the kitchen a quick tidy up. Then it was on to the dining area. I wiped down furniture, dusted the pictures, and made sure the table was tidy and clean. I started vacuuming and as I did an area, I mopped it using Bona cleaner. The hardwood floors looked hazy so I use Bona to remove what ever it is on the floors. I ended up doing the small hall, dining area, and the front landing where the coat closet is. The floors are shinier and I am happier. 

I made the bed later on in the afternoon. I have the hanging strips and hooks for pictures in my bedroom. I need to figure out where to put the big picture. I am not sure if my bed is centred in the room or not. The room was designed to hold a king size bed. I am not even sure the light is centered in the room though I think it is. I will have to measure the length and find the center. Once the big picture is hung, I will then hang the other pictures. 

Daugher's new puppy is really cute. I finally remembered to download pictures of him. He will go into training when he is old enough and will do both ring and field competitions. 

He is the one I made the ornament for. 

Sewing

I did sew yesterday afternoon and got 2 more bags done for daughter-in-law. They went together well even though I ran out of bobbin thread twice and top thread once. 

They are not perfect but they are done. By the time I had finished these, it was later in the afternoon and I had no time to start another sewing or craft project. 

Knitting

I cast on the stitches for the 2nd sock and got 35 rounds done last night. 

I was surprised at how fast it is knitting up. If I can knit most nights, it will be done by the end of the month. 

Thoughts

    I had a bit of stress yesterday as daughter was a bit stressed. I let her text and I asked questions. She calmed down and so did I. I am trying not to let her situation get to me but it does. She is having to make some hard choices right now and it hasn't been easy for her. I had some stress but no anxiety. I have come to realize I can listen and support but not be heavily involved. It is a situation that she and he has to work out. 

    I did not go out and walk the rest of my property yesterday. The back is wetter than the front. Looking out, I didn't see a lot of garbage but I do know there is a hub cap behind the shed. I know the lawn needs raking and seeded. Grandson can help with that next month. He can help me clean out the shed as I want to get rid of items from in there. I also need to sweep the floor and take a broom to all the walls and wash the windows. We will be busy. 

    I did a quick look in the family room and I need to get cardboard out of it. I can clean up part of the room as it is where I craft and isn't messy. The rest of the room will be done over time as it is where I sort and box the things I am decluttering. I looked at the sewing room and am waiting for today's video. I did remove the tubs from under the cutting table and put them on the shelving unit. I have the cleaner and rag ready to work on this area tomorrow. 

Today

I am out to make sandwiches this morning. I have to go to the bank and get some groceries. I would like to finish sewing the two bags I have partly finished and then do a bit of cleaning up. I will knit on the socks tonight. 

Until the next time......................................................
