All By Myself

 

I was doing a happy dance when I learned earlier in the week that The Mister had a lunch date with his old work buddies yesterday. That means time alone for ME. I have a room full of half baked projects and was in need of a good putter around in the quiet. 

So of course I woke up with a headache. I struggled through this and that but didn't get much done. A few blocks on the Color Wash top and the next Dear Jane sorted out. E 5 is done but it's nothing to brag about. That center applique is pitiful. 

I put the last border rows on the punch needle coaster and finished up the leaves on the vegetables. 

Aren't they cute? I want to pet them. 

I did some knit planning. I dug out the bag of Icelandic wool that Daughter had brought me back from her pre-pandemic trip there. If I want a pair of warm mittens for next winter, this is the stuff they should be made of. 

The daily Betty experiment was a bread dough race. Brown Betty and Betty White were almost neck and neck today. That's a good thing. Betty White is getting stronger. The doughs themselves-not so much. Those high hydration recipes will be the end of me. It's like trying to wrestle jello.
