Happy mail. 

Actually not mail, but a delivery none the less.

 

Day 38 of 2026

GB#3 has come to spend the night. 

To wind down before bed 

we decided to watch some ice dance pairs competition. 

To my surprise, he was quite engrossed.

Is anyone else going to try to catch some of the 

Olympic Winter Games?

 

Day 36 of 2026

Years ago my quilting group made felted wool pincushions. 

I have many scraps from that time.

When shapes are cut from a larger piece

 it is no longer a neat piece.

 There are always these weird shapes sticking out

 that make the wool quite messy.

I recently found a bag of felted wool pieces. 

I decided to trim them up and cut as many little shapes

 as I could from the messy bits. 

These will go in a separate place for future appliqué projects.

 

Day 35 of 2026

The cuffs of both socks of my next pair are finished, 

marked and ready for the leg pattern to begin. 

If you remember this post, I can tell you that this is much closer

 to the actual color of the yarn and I am really loving the combo. 

I did the research I talked about in that post

 but ultimately decided not to change

 what I have already been doing on my socks.

 

Day 34 of 2026

There was a school function tonight. 

We left home right after Fireball got home from work. 

We arrived just in time.

 We were not the only ones. 

There was no parking. 

It was a very cold walk from our car. 

At least the sky was fabulous...

and the event was good.

 

Day 33 of 2026

Oops! 

I was just trying to put my crock pot away 

and the lid handle shattered. 

Now I am charged with research and phone calls 

to see what my replacement options are. 

Hopefully it will involve a new handle, 

but I suspect a new lid might be my only option.
