Yup, it’s January 2023, no denying it any longer. Time is flying by -especially winter, my favorite season! Winter is my season to tuck in and do all the things I love- sewing, quilting, knitting, rug hooking and spinning. Far too many hobbies for this women to get all the projects done that she has planned. But, I have a start;
I have finished sewing the Folklore shirt and I am very happy with the results. I am not a detail anything kind of a person, (depend on my hubby for those skills) so doing buttons evenly is always a challenge here. No more, I have this new gadget and it does all the thinking for me!!!! Also, putting buttonholes in, well my new Bernina does all the math on that as well, all I do is hit a button. Sewing life is good here. Another old invention, new to me to use is Fray check. Sew in a button hole, fill with fray check, let dry and when that button hole is opened it’s perfect!!!! How did I not know about that!!!!
On the Knitting front;
Ozetta Highland Slipover-Brown Sheep yarn from stash
Gnome Pun Intended by Sarah Schira
Hat completed . Planning on a monthly gnome project (will see how many actually get done. Remember I am not a detail, fuzzy anything kind of a person. This will stretch me(thank you Kat, I fell in love with your gnomes))
Several more projects started but we will talk about those later in the month.
January is a great month to eat down the freezer and pantry foods. It’s the month for lots of soups, homemade breads, roasts and …….
I love cooking in January and so far this month we have only spent 4 dollars at the grocery store. The challenge is on as to how little we will spend this month on food. I am sure we will be doing this in February as well.
