Its nearly here, By this time next week Christmas will be over and the New Year will be the next celebration. It is with sincere hope that 2021 brings some relief from the pandemic. It needs to be done and we need to get back to something that is a little closer to normal. Even a homebody like myself am seriously missing humans.
I finally finished my scrap afghan. It seems to me that I made scrap afghans last year or the year before but I know it was around Christmas. I managed two of them again this year but I think I will keep this last one for myself. I rather like it.
I have already tested it out with a little nap and it works wonderfully well.
I have cranked out five table runners this season. There is something about them that I really like and I swear it would not be Christmas if I did not make one or two of them. Three of them got sold
And the other two were for me. I have to admit that I have all I need now. I really do like making them. I think its the quick gratification of it all.
At long last I finally got the lights, Frosty and the garland out and onto the veranda. I was pleased to remember that I straightened the icicle lights last year so they hang as they should this year. The weather was wonderfully mild so no frozen fingers getting the job done.
I did not hang the red balls this year but the rest is up. I fear Frosty's burnt out his light bulb and I have yet to find a replacement. So for now he sits dark but I know I have another bulb around someplace and once I find it I hope he will be lite up once again. I just love that snowman!!
After a week of little to no sleep, I cracked and got The Banker to get me a sleep aid. I took it that very night a gratefully slept!! oh the bliss and the relief. The next night I took only one pill and didn't really sleep again. Last night I managed to sleep the majority of the night without aid and for that I was most grateful. In fact I slept in until 11 and was tempted to stay in bed. Hunger had other ideas so I did get up but today has been a pajama day around here. I have done nothing but watch movies and be lazy.
Finally watched the latest version of Little Women. I rather liked it even though there was much about it that was not period appropriate. It was fun and easy to watch. I have seen each version and this one is amongst my favourite. To me its a Christmas movie and I always watch the Wynona Ryder/Susan Sarandon version each year.
Tomorrow I will venture out and pick up the last of the groceries for Christmas, then I shall be home for the foreseeable. The decorating is done, there are presents under the tree, my gifts have been delivered. All is well. Friday night saw some of the No Cook group doing individual drive by treat and card deliveries. It was so lovely. I need to get the rest of my cards taken care of.
I need to find a couple of new craft projects to work on as I have done the ones I was working on. I have lots of time to figure it out.
