YOP Week #22

Things are not going very smoothly here on the homestead. Nothing terrible just leprechaun's playing tricks I think. I went to paint and couldn't find my brush. I went to sand and couldn't find sandpaper or my sander. I started 3 times on the 2nd mitt and finally gave up. I think in my heart of hearts I couldn't make another one knowing it would be too small anyway. I spent time looking for backing material for my Christmas quilt and it has disappeared into the ethers and I could go on and on! Now, in all honesty, it could have something to do with my being disorganized but I'm not going there right now.

So, I moved on to the annual collectible ornaments for the grands. I couldn't find the pattern book but I finally found it. I cut all the fabric and zigzagged the edges so they wouldn't unravel. I didn't have all the required colors of floss but I substituted.......last year I did the Santa Claus and this year I'm doing the reindeer...........this is a Lori Holt XS pattern available at Fat Quarter Shop

I wanted a mindless project so I started a granny square pillow..........I think I have one side finished but I am going to get a 12" pillow form and then measure. I tend to crochet tightly so I'd best measure and ensure I have enough rows. I haven't decided if I'm going to make both sides the same or just wing it. What do you think?

I did finish row 9 on the Winter Wonderland CAL blanket but it keeps curling up so it's hard to see. I probably won't have time to work on it until after the ornaments are done.........I am enjoying it. I just hope I am doing it right.

We had a visitor on Thanksgiving Day. I'm pretty sure it was Miss Peeps father or brother. I've seen a short haired cat colored just like Miss Peeps and I'm sure it was her mother or sister. This cat had the exact same markings but it was bigger and long haired. It looked very healthy. It stayed all afternoon and I picked up Miss Peeps and took her to the window but she had no interest.....she was abandoned so she might have some issues with her relations. Or, it could be Grace's relation since she is a long haired gray cat...hmmm.

That's all for this week. I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving if you celebrate it. Mine was wonderful...I prepped everything the day before so on Thanksgiving Day I just threw it all together and relaxed the day away! I listened to the Bear's game on the radio and they won!!! One of the best Thanksgivings ever!

Here's a thought to ponder.........
