Runner-up for Queen of the UFO's

Hope yours was at least tolerable.

With one thing and another I’ve been getting less studio time than I’d like the last few days. I did get the first sewing project cut out before the weekend, but realized I needed to clear off some of the mess that had accumulated over the holidays before I could actually get to my machines. Good news out of that is I have 4, yes 4 finished objects. All are older knitting projects (one was probably close to two decades old~eep!) so that feels good. Today I will finish putting stuff away and do a quick pass with the vacuum before settling down to work. Considering the weather, Thing Two will probably appreciate another pair of flannel pj’s.

 

So, yeah, that did not happen. I was going to delete all of the above, but decided not to. I’ve realized if I want any chance of getting something together for a post, I have to at least start it early in the day, even if it won’t get posted until evening. I have been deleting plans that didn’t happen, but I don’t think I will going forward. It’ll give me some insight into plans vs reality.

Question of The Day:

January 10 - It's the start of the Lunar Chinese New Year - the year of the Dragon. Do you know your Chinese zodiac animal?

I do, it’s the Dragon. Which are right up there with unicorns for my favourite mythological animal. I’m so pedestrian :D

December 6 – Put on Your Own Shoes Day: How old were you when you learned to put on your own shoes? How about when you learned to tie your own shoelaces?

I don’t remember, but it would have been pre-k. Mom was primary school teacher and had worked with me through the curriculum to the end of first grade before I ever started school. That said, I’m pretty sure most of my shoes were buckle ups. I remember my youngest sibling learning to tie their shoes, there was a cardboard shape painted/printed to look like a shoe with lacing holes and laces to practice on. No idea if this was around for me or was a later addition, there is a fairly large age gap there.

Still being indecisive about my next sewing project, but I have started with a new knitting project. Just jumped right in without really looking at the pattern and now I’m tinking back several rows :( Going to reposition the shaping so it will actually fit (or that’s the idea anyway).
