Runner-up for Queen of the UFO's

And more snow. Not great for us, as we need to go out this weekend and the roads are going to be a mess. However it is very good for the land. We’ve been in a drought for a number of years and any moisture is most welcome.

Note to self: you can not use chopsticks when you have a finger out of commission. I can adapt typing/knitting/sewing/even writing to accommodate, but not chopstick use. Results were very messy, also hilarious, but I’m glad I was eating alone and had no witnesses to that disaster.

Government bureaucracy continues to suck. I’ve given up for the day and am going to go spend time in the studio to calm myself down. My pinafore dress is almost finished, it’s just hanging to see if the skirt is going to stretch on the bias before I hem it. My next project is going to be a pair of “suede” trousers. I have exactly one pair of pants that fit, all the rest need a belt to keep them in place (or honestly on at all, a couple are big enough they fall right off). I hate making trousers/slacks/pants/jeans though. Skirts and dresses are so much easier. Except it’s winter and I don’t have any heavy tights. I can get away with wearing sweats/yoga pants under skirts at home, but it’s not a look I want for public appearances.

Next knitting project-leggings? Or is that completely bonkers? Probably, but people knit full length dresses, so.....! I have patterns :D  And probably yarn.

Question of The Day:
March 1 - The Welsh Saint David died in 589 and was canonised in the 12th century. Ever since then, he has been celebrated in Wales and by people of Welsh descent. Have you ever eaten Welsh cakes?

I have not. They look good though, we’ll have to try this recipe.

P.S. Along with snow, we're getting cold again.  -11C / 12.2F when I got up this morning.  High was supposed to be -7C / 19.4F but I'm thinking not.  Mid-afternoon and we're only -10C / 14F.

December 3 – Make a Gift Day: Do make gifts for anybody? How about cards? I have made gifts in the past, not as much anymore. The family decided a few years ago to stop exchanging gifts. We all have too much stuff, too little money and it was just a source of stress. Now we focus on the meal and enjoying each other’s company. Cards are hit or miss, sometimes I do make a few, sometimes not. And sometimes I just don’t do cards at all. It all depends on how crazy things are (I know if I planned ahead I could make and send cards every year, but that’s not gonna happen).

December 4 – Wear Brown Shoes Day: Do you own any brown shoes? I have a few pairs. Not as many as I did a few years ago, when my wardrobe was all brown and turquoise (aqua/teal). And this summer I realized I was going to have to give up my last two pairs of brown high heels. The feets just don’t like them anymore.

P.S. Re: sugar shenanigans: we were able to get a couple of smaller bags of sugar at not ridiculous prices on Saturday. A check for online prices at Walmart show things are back to more reasonable pricing. Wonder if it was a glitch/mistake or there were too many complaints?
