December

 

I got up at 5:30 yesterday so I could make the most out of the last day of November. I got the fall placemats finished-and packed away until next year. 

I also finished Number 24 so I'd be ready to start this year's Arne and Carlos advent KAL today.

It now joins its advent siblings. It took me 2 years to finish this KAL and it was a lot of fun. I'll be putting them on the line today even though I don't have hangers for the last four. I had to order more. I'll have to figure something out.

Speaking of Arne and Carlos, I treated myself to an early birthday present and bought their new needle collection. There are 3 circs and a pattern for a cowl. I really need a new cowl and I also actually do need the size needle that are included. I have a million size 1 and 2 circs but nothing much bigger than that.

As for that wood, I didn't get too far. I spent the morning vacuuming and scrubbing the floors on both levels and then had to get groceries and walk the dog. When I got back I did three big loads of wood in the wagon and called it a day. I didn't make a dent in that big pile but I wasn't going to kill myself. I'd like to see my 70th birthday that's coming up in a couple of weeks.
