Fuzzy logic



The advantage to just not being able to get out is that there's nothing to distract you from getting a few projects finished.  I've been knitting away happily this week in the pauses between the next meal, hot drink etc., and my fuzzy knitting is now finished and waiting for the postman to bring something to stuff it with and some proper eyes to replace the button I used as a prop.  He reminds me of the snowy tree outside.


I also found this waiting to be finished at the bottom of the  basket, so that's two things off the list.



Tomorrow, I may even sort through my stash.  I'm determined not to buy any yarn or fabric until I've used up some of what's here.  When my sister died about a year and a half ago, my kind brother-in-law sent me her stash from Australia - two large boxes!  It's quite exciting as it's not familiar yarns and I haven't quite decided what ply some of them are so it's trial and error.  I also have a pile of fabric sitting in baskets looking reproachful, some newish art materials and a screen printing kit  - all purchased at a time when I had some spare cash, in the expectation of being very hard up once we'd moved here and becoming permanent carer.  I'm hoping eventually to put some things on sale but I need to get them made first, and before that I've baby gifts to make - when I know the sex of the babies, and some curtains! The snow's done me a big favour as it's just not possible to go out at present except to the local shop, so no-one can expect you to!
Hope you're all warm and cosy.

How nice not to be able to go out (at least, nice in some ways). We, unfortunately, live in a city with buses, so getting to work is possible. Just inconvenient. Mind you, I've always found work a bit inconvenient.

Lovely furry creations!

I enjoyed, in a sort of wincing way,your description of giving M breakfast. You are a saint.
