I’ve been busy today, especially this morning, but I got a lot done.

While I had my coffee I worked on an ornament for my 12 Days ‘Til Christmas set that I hope to sell at the Texada craft sale – ten down, two more to go.

I wasn’t quite finished before I realized it was garbage and recycle day. That took a bit of time to sort out and get to the curb; I wanted the garbage bag to be full (we pay $2 a bag) so I emptied garbage from all the bedrooms, bathrooms and even my sewing room. Next up was the recycling – only one bin but again I picked up what I had in my sewing room/office. Since I was at it I decided to sort through the recycling that needed to go to the depot.

It was almost eleven by the time I got back to my ornament. When that was finished I blocked the crocheted scarf I finished last night. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough yarn to make a scarf long enough; I got the length I needed but I wasn’t able to do the border around the outside. I’ll make the pattern again and add the border.

By the time that was done I decided I’d have time to get to the depot before it was time to leave for sewing. Not only did I get that job done but I was able to cross another errand off my list.

I thought our group was going to start a new project this week but just in case the others weren’t ready I stuck in another project. I’m glad I did as Jessie was sick so there was just the two of us – and four cats! Gail has taken on a couple more cats who were losing their home.

After sewing I headed to the Hall to check the mailbox. I’d received word that a few renters had dropped their payments in the mailbox. I have some other deposits here at home so I’ll plan to walk up to the bank tomorrow.

This evening I’m going to start another scarf. I may not have time to finish it before the sale but it is an easy pattern and done on big needles so there may be a chance.
