Well then....

 There are days when (to quote my mother) I should have stood in bed for all I accomplished.  I thought I would be thrifty and use up some leftover flannelette and make a couple extra pillowcases for us.  Despite having made lots of them over the years, I screwed up and had to end up reverse stitching and adding pieces to bring them up to size.  What should have taken me likely an hour to do ended up taking nearly four.  The burrito method is so easy - provided you remember which way on to place the fabric.  Argh.

Monday was a good day to stay home because we had freezing rain most of the morning.  Luckily we didn't have plans to set foot outside the door so all good as far as we're concerned but there were a lot of people out there dealing with it.  So far there's been three school bus cancellations in the space of less than two weeks so one wonders what the rest of the winter will bring.

I'm knitting another 1898 hat which, at this point, looks pretty much the same as the one I showed you previously, so I won't bother showing it to you again.

- Although THIS project isn't exactly for Christmas, it would be a pretty way to present a plant.  

- If you have leftover fleece from other projects, perhaps making THIS would help use it up.  And while you're there, check out some of the other free ideas HERE.
