We had a nice, relaxing day yesterday. I did get a fair amount done on the stocking - maybe 3 square inches? Got in some walking, too. That's about all. Today the kids are coming here for pizza lunch. Their deal was - we provide the lunch and they'll provide the baby.
We'll get out a few of the toys we brought down but still have here at the trailer for Scabooch to play with. I want to do a few cleaning chores in the trailer this morning and I'll also probably get a bit of stitching done somewhere along the line today.BECCA - that's such good news that Taylor is doing well. But I'll still keep praying for her and the baby! I think I understand now how you did the names on the stockings. What about the fluffy beard? is that added later, too?
LORI - Congrats on the new car! Our friends at home, Doyle and Susie, also bought a new car yesterday. A burgandy Subaru Outback. It must be new car season.
TINA - sorry your day with Holly didn't turn out like you'd hoped. Were you able to use those hours to get a little sewing done? I think if a hairdresser kept me in a chair for even half that long, I'd be finding a new hairdresser! What a day waster! It took only 1 hour for my gal to highlight and then cut my hair. You asked how many square inches in this stocking. Best count is about 200, give or take 10 inches. I've been working on it for 10 months so far. These stockings (I've made 12 over the years) usually take me about 18 months but I've really poured on the coal with this one so will be whipping it out in about 11 months.
I'm guessing our big meal of the day today will be pizza. If there's a few pieces left we'll snack on them for supper or else make a sandwich.
What's your plan?
