I got out of the house and about town today for the first time since the big snowfall. It is so absolutely beautiful, the snow, and I really enjoyed the warm sunshine and smooth, sparkling fields of white. I even like huge piles of piled up snow from plowing. We have some sub-zero temps on the way, which could make things interesting if one has to work outside and some more snow (as in feet of) on the way next week. I love Winter!
Other than admiring God's handiwork, the day consisted of running errands, getting stranded, meeting a kind stranger, buying a new car battery, getting a haircut and then a short meeting. Now I am happily once again snuggled into the recliner with some pain meds and some crochet to work on.
I wore a sweater I crocheted today and I was surprised at all the comments I received. I suppose it must look obviously home made for so many to comment, but after I admitted that I had crafted the frock, the comments were all favorable. I smiled each time some one complimented me as I wondered if they were wondering just how much yarn does it take to make such a snugly sweater dress for such a plus size gal. The answer? Not as much as you might think. I'm working on some other small projects while I figure out what next big thing I want to tackle and purchase the yarn for that project. At least I am being productive whilst lying around on my ice pack.
House cleaning tomorrow in anticipation of the girls coming over for a sleepover - should be a good time!
