Far too long

Has it really been nearly a week since I last posted?  Have I really lost track of the days that much?  It certainly looks like I have.  But I have an excuse.

Snow!

This is what we received back on Friday


Which might not seem like a lot to people in some areas, but out here we never get this much snow.  As in we have no snow plows or road salt or sand.  It's been a long week-end around here.  And it has yet to melt, it hasn't been above freezing in four days.  It's been distracting as anything.

Also, this weekend was the big fund raiser for the hospital. the Festival of Trees.  I'll share one of their pictures since we don't have ours developed yet.



The trees were amazing as ever, the whole event was glorious.  I just hope that we had enough visitors to make our goal this year.

Between the weather and the event I've been too busy to keep up with anything.  Hopefully now that all of that is past I can make entering a regular event.

One thing I have decided is what this years knitting them is going to be.  WARM!  After this winter I want mittens and hats and scarves and blankets done.  Everything is going to be wooly and warm for next year.  Keep checking the sidebar, I'll be putting up a list of projects for the year soon.

What I wore today

A simple pale blue shirt and pants.  Yes, pants.  It is currently 11° out there, I'm in my own house and my husband does not mind.  But when I went to the store earlier I wore a tan calico shirt and a denim skirt.

Dinner/supper today:

Roast chicken with roast carrots and parsnips/tuna salad

 Knitting of the day:

Over the past three days I started and finished a hat for myself. A simple watchcap in an acrylic yarn that used up all my scraps



I've also decided that it's silly to put pictures of my clothing hanging on the door on the web.  Let's face it, I'm fat.  I'm also a stroke survivor.  Those are connected since part of my pituitary gland was damaged in the stroke.  And before anyone says "See what God does to Atheists" it happened when I was 4 and caused by neglect.  If that's what your God does then is it any wonder why Maltheisim is a thing?

Anyway, this is me



Yes, I do like this picture

Sewing of the day:

None, I've been too busy knitting.  I will probably work on the cat stocking tonight if I do anything.  I have just done a massive update of my Pinterest board, sharing some things I've worked on over the past few years.  The link is on my sidebar, the board is "Projects That Don't Fit Ravelry".

Book of the day:

I'm about 2/3 through A Room With a View

Exercise today:

None

Schoolwork today:

Have not started yet.  But I still have time

Housework today:

Got to the grocery store and got it all put away.  That's enough for one day.

Words written today:

I'm behind on this too.  I need to get back on track tomorrow.
