No chance for any sewing today. I called the “machine guy” and he said to bring my machines in right away as he was home. I didn’t even have time to clean them. I was in a bit of a panic as I couldn’t find the cover for either of the machines. When I changed my room around I really tucked them away. Fortunately, after I located them, it didn’t require moving anything too much to get them out.

I worked a ball of yarn into my afghan last night and realized it was going to be pretty small if I didn’t change my plan in some way. I only had four balls of the yarn I was using but I found more yarn in a colour that I thought would work with it. I did a few rows and I think it looks like I planned the pattern that way all along. Hopefully with the extra yarn it will make up into a decent-sized lap afghan.

I was reminded again on Facebook about that cute little snowbird Christy posted to my timeline. I found some yarn and gave it a try; so far, so good. I don’t have the exact colours called for but I have enough colours that will work.

I’ll be baking and cooking most of the day tomorrow – Tourtiere for supper (along with a spinach salad). For Christmas day I planned on Mum’s chocolate angel food but I’m going to make it tomorrow and we’ll have it on Christmas Eve and Christmas – and probably Boxing Day and beyond.

Maybe I’ll even do a bit of cleaning as well.
