I hope it's not soo bad your way.
What did I do - I almost can't remember. I sorted out the chicken and the carcass stock is now in the freezer. I . . . don't think I did much else, if truth be told. It's always the same at the end of a project like the jacket. For a few days I feel at a lose end before getting my teeth into something else. No more pumpkins though!
However, this morning, before starting this, I started collating all the Christmas pattern stuff I have found end have started making decisions for my calendar. I think every other square will be a conventional Granny in red, green and white, all traditional and bright, and the others will be solid grannies with festive appliques or patterns. I have all sorts of pictures/patterns - tree, wreath, gift, snowflake, Santa, Santa's belt, stocking, star - you get the idea. I can introduce other colours to them in the form of bows, beads, etc.
Subtle it won't be; the brighter and Christmassy the better.
If I do two a day, one picture and one trad granny, I will end up with 48 squares so if I make one more conventional one, I can do a 6x7 which will be quite a decent size.
Then, on the Twelve Days, I can join and edge before tucking it away for Christmas 2026 - if mankind hasn't imploded by then!
What do you think.
What do you think.
Today feels quite busy.
Circuits
Tidy up the weekend clutter
Dust and sweep downstairs
Change the bedding
Clean and tidy the kitchen.
None of these is too difficult or long lasting, they just need doing!
Finally, there is a bed for Ian, he in in the surgical ward in his own room and Stephanie can stay with him. Hopefully the procedure should go ahead today so please, please keep them in your thoughts as it is quite a risky thing for him but absolutely necessary.
Many thanks.
Have a good day, everyone. Stay well, be safe and be happy. Bye. xx
I had a home blessing kind of day yesterday including doing the ironing-hurrah! Enjoyed the Proms and tidied away lots of craft stuff that had wandered everywhere. Catriona

It is very gusty here - brilliant for drying - bit nothing too bad (yet), thankfully. xx
DeleteRisky but necessary things seem to be the order of the week this week. I hope all goes well for Ian, it's good that Stephanie can stay with him, that always helps doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteIt very much does, yes. I'll update in Tuesday's blog. Thanks, Sue. x
