A couple of days ago I was noticing how dark it was in the sewing room and how much I was looking forward to longer days. When I had to move a light over to my sewing table so that I could see better I thought to look up and noticed that three of the four lightbulbs in the room were burnt out. And there were also two bulbs in the hallway that needed to be replaced. Now, when I turn on the light to come upstairs it is so bright.

I haven’t been accomplishing much these last few days so nothing to report and no posts. Our Guild party was lovely and I came home with one of the raffle baskets – full of wine and chocolate. I don’t do alcohol anymore but Pat still does – he can enjoy the wine and I’ll enjoy the chocolate! The M&M Casserole was a hit and there was lots leftover – I should have made a smaller batch.

We’ve spent a lot of time this weekend watching hockey and curling. With morning and afternoon games in both sports nothing much is getting done. I’m managing a fair bit of crocheting as we watch so that is good.

I’m still planning to do some Christmas baking and I’ve received three new recipes in the past few days that I want to try – Citrus Panna Cotta, Squamish Bars, and Ted Lasso Biscuits. In the meantime Elizabeth sent two batches of cookies – Peanut Butter and Ginger Snaps – plus in one of our 12-Days packages we got a scone mix. I have to go out tomorrow so I’ll gather all the ingredients and get to work.

For now though curling and hockey are calling.
