For one, I've been working for 2 days on two scarves for a
neighbor. Well, she only wants one but wasn't really clear on the color. First
she said black, then she agreed shaded blacks/grays would be nice, but didn't
seem too excited over that. So I just finished an all black one this morning,
and almost finished a black and charcoal one. The second one is 14 rows black,
5 charcoal, and alternating. They are 7x60" - I'm sure I can find a buyer
for whichever one she doesn't take. She's coming by the charity crafting
session on Friday and will pick one then.
They are both simple stitches as she didn't want "big holes"
which I took to mean not too lacey. She has no car and walks a distance in the
cold, so I completely understand her needs.
I also did the one spaghetti squash today. I had bought 2 a
short while ago, on sale, for only $.50 each and I don't want them to spoil.
After I nuked it to soften it, cut it and seeded it, I nuked the halves. Once
cooled, it's so easy to scoop and pack into cup-size containers. I then used a
church key to poke a can of simple pasta sauce and drizzle that on top of the
containers. Made and froze six servings. Well, I didn't freeze them all. Ate
one this afternoon. Love those!
Gathered the week's trash and got that out to the curb for
the morning truck.
Made four cups of Jello for the fridge. Missed that for a
few days. Love having containers that I can just poke a spoon into it and enjoy
something sweet (I get sugar free) but safer than what I might otherwise grab.
Brought in a nice size tote bag of yarn that someone in here
dropped at my back steps anonymously. I will try to figure out who left it. Our
group likes to mention the donors in the monthly newsletters.
Since it was gather-the-trash day, I decided to finally
change poor Silkie's scratcher pad insert. We have a round thingie with rolled
corrugated cardboard insert and it's the only commercial scratcher pad she'll
use. It also has a ball that cats are supposed to roll in the track, but she
finds that boring since it doesn't dispense treats. Anyhow, I added some fresh
catnip and also took her toys and tossed them inside a plastic bag to freshen
them. She spent the rest of the day sniffing, napping, eating, and repeating
the process.
Got a few other things done, too. Even though I didn't get
anything big accomplished, I am happy to have crossed a few things off my to-do
list today.
Rolling along...
