I filled some baking containers with the items I bought to restock those.
Used leftovers to make lovely meals that fed us a couple of suppers and even a couple of lunches.
Cleaned the stove and oven, did some decluttering, rummaged through my fabric drawers to see what else I could find to use up in clothing making.
Cut out three patterns to sew next month.
After rummaging through my fabric drawers I found a few more larger sized pieces to make a couple more items and will get those cut out tomorrow.
Lots of leftover bits and bobs, but I believe the one on top may be enough to make a small jacket with. We shall see once I find that pattern.
The rest are really too small unless pinned together in a patchwork design, and I found lots more like that which I will probably cut into squares and or strips. Hmmm, perhaps some yarn will be fashioned from these remnants.
I finished the size 8-10 mittens.
Filled the cookie jar with Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.
Filled my yarn basket with more yarn, mostly orphan balls and a few that a good friend gave me when she moved away.
There should be enough there to make lots more mittens to send back with Kurt. I believe I now have 80 pair made and I am hoping to reach at least 120 pairs by the time they are needed. I think my next task will be knitting some toques for them as well. Should have enough mittens now to last a good long while.
Projects are slowly getting completed, though only one scarf will be woven this month, with the second one carried over until next month. I may manage to get the loom warped for it though.
Thinking through what needs to be used up and planning some meals in my head for next month (though I will have to get those down on paper very soon). I will know more once I get my chest freezer organized and the inventory completed on it. I think there could be many items I have forgotten about hiding in its depths.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
