The Good, the Bad………
and the Really Bad – the Bears lost again. Of course. Why do I care??! How much longer is quiet and calm Lovie going to be allowed to fiddle with these guys? Think Nero……but the Vikings won again. DH is happy. DGD is watching the Cowboys, on site, new car keys in her pocket. Less than 3 months to spring training.
Yesterday I frogged two projects that were but a-starting. Good to do. Can’t have every closet (er, both) and cupboard (cupboard?) and big basket in the house full of yarn. Especially committed but not fulfilled yarn. Backing down to a more manageable group of projects. 2 or 3 to be finished in the next month and that will help, too. Then the Ravelry Mystery Sock KAL can begin, on 15 January, just as school begins and tax season heats up.
DH made Speculoos today. Or Speculus. However they are spelled in Belgium, they turned out really well. Now I need to find a windmill cooky cutter for them for next time. These, while delicious, look like I’m munching on Paris pavers! The shape is the same! The taste is not. But I’ve never tasted a Paris paver – maybe I should! But these are really good. DH says, of course – they’re all sugar and butter. Go figure.
The British newspaper “The Guardian” says that the number of knitted garments Miss Marple completes in the 12 novels and 20 short stories where she appears is 47. Was Agatha reaching for 50?
Time to make another big pot of soup. Maybe Tortilla Soup. One of my favorites! Snow on the ground, left-hand side of thermometer in use (My turn! My turn!), grey skies…..like Paris, but it’s much warmer there. And winter rain is so soothing.
I want to go to a fiber festival. Why are they all in New England or Oregon or Carolina or New Mexico? In springtime? Just to look. To touch. Maybe Scotland again.
The Christmas Demons are in the house….
