Twas a Month Before Christmas

And my knitting is progressing.

The outer mittens for the next pair of Double Mitts are finished.

 The first inner mitt is started. 

I did some sewing in the past week. This is a Reading Pillow. I made it with some supplies from my stash. The pillow form was "pouffier" than I expected so I had a bit of a challenge getting the cover on. I imagine it will flatten out before the cover needs washing. You put a book in the pocket. It was given with 2 new books as a birthday gift, and very well received.

My favourite yarn shop had a sale (a rare event) and I ordered some goodies. Since Canada Post is currently on strike, I picked up my order today.

I think I showed great restraint, and I have plans for all of it. I also took the opportunity to step into the bead shop in the same mall to pick up some beads for one planned project.

The colour is called Seafoam and they are turquoise with a gold lining. 

Meanwhile, sometimes you just manage to get a lucky picture. On Saturday mornings, we make a cooked breakfast. This was my table mate last Saturday.

Ever hopeful Emme!
