Living and crafting between the hot flashes

Hello darkness

…my old friend. (Name that tune.)

Well, I was going to show you the pair of seamless slippers I finished Sunday night but the lighting was terrible and I go to work in the dark and return in the dark.

I knit this slipper at the end of October and finally got the mate done. Pretend there are two slippers here.

I plan to make two more pair before Christmas. I’m using acrylic yarn (don’t judge) as that is what I have tons of and it really holds up well for these seamless slippers. It’s a bit hard on my hands and fingers.

I will sew replacement carpet soles on these as well as add pompoms.

I got the dining room table cleared off.

Please disregard the dead leaves on those plants.

I didn’t get it finished last night because I had to organize some of the felt and paper stuff as everything was in a hundred different places. It’s consolidated. For now.

And I posted on this blog Every. Single. Day. In. November. My first NaBloPoMo – National Blog Post Month. It was hard. I stopped blogging regularly and now I’m recharged.

I’m going to take care of those dead leaves on those plants in the dining room. Funny how you don’t “see” something until it’s in a photograph.

Nothing to say

I’m at a loss for words.

And I’m procrastinating.

We went to our daughter’s yesterday to spend a belated Thanksgiving Day with her and her family. We got home earlier this afternoon and I’ve been putting off the one thing I promised myself I’d do today.

My list of things to do while procrastinating:

Go through the mail.
Unpack the overnight bag.
Wash a load of clothes.
Change the wreath on the front door from the wine bottle wreath to the Christmas wreath.
Put the Christmas candles in the front windows and synchronize the timers so they all come on at the same time.
Iron a couple of shirts.
Unload and fold clothes from the dryer from Wednesday night.
Add wet clothes to the dryer.
Eat dinner.
Work on another felt ornament.
Eat a second dessert.
Check my email.
Download photos from my phone.
Write this blog post.
