We had a lovely Thanksgiving. All the family was home except for Rebecca, my sister, who is in Virginia. She came up for the holidays last year, but decided to wait until summer to visit when it won't be so cold and you can actually go outside and do things.
Some things can't be attempted until winter because if lack of time during the warm months, but something's just don't feel right until winter. Like major sewing projects. I'm planning on making another skirt. Also, a lot more baking and soup-making goes on here during the winter, so maybe more recipes will be forthcoming. I tried a new one just today that was excellent. I'll have to get pictures and share it!
Also, since it's now winter, I should be able to finish my post on how we make it without a dryer all year, all seasons, and all weather.
I need to get slats for my bed now that I have finally been able to measure it. (A certain tool was missing for a long time!) On the subject of wood, I took measurements for a certain size of table that mom would prefer, and so I may try to build one. But again, it's cold and we don't have a heated outdoor space big enough for that project, so it'll probably get tabled (haha, did you see what I did there? ;)) until warmer weather pops around. If I find a reasonably priced one in the correct size range, I won't be too upset though.
I want to cart all the big blankets to the laundry-mat and give them a wash. That's one thing we just can't wash here.
Beyond those things? General organizing is pretty high on the list, but nothing specific. Those are the ones I can think of right now, more will probably get added to the list!
Until next time,
