Another weekend has come and gone. It seems like Mondays roll around quicker each week. I did get out alone Saturday morning to start Christmas shopping. I didn't get much done but at least its a start. Mostly what I bought were things that are not available in my town. Typically I do try to shop at home whenever possible.
I needed coffee for my Keurig machine, and I stock up whenver I get to Moncton. I spent a lot of time in Chapters. I can browse bookstores forever. Left with a few Christmas gifts. Auntie has been wanting a Paula Dean cookbook and I found one. Its kind of a win-win gift because I am a cookbook nut too.
I got a ton of hooking done too. I finished the angels dress and the background and just barely started the border. And guess what.........I am not loving the border colors. I will have to change them. The colors are pretty but are not giving me the look I want. I guess another trip to Momz Wool shop is in order. I will need to pick shades/tones a little darker and duller. Darn it all - I will have to buy more wool! So apparently every rain cloud does have a silver lining! hahaha
After I pick the new colors I will post a before and after picture and see if you all agree with me.
I hope your weekend was relaxing.
What does that means ... relaxing weekend??? lol. You are way ahead of me on the Christmas shopping. I usually wait until the last minute and give gift cards or money depending on who I give it to. Last year I bought my grand kids a huge tent that sleeps 8 and that the best gift I could ever give them. While they were at the cottage they invited their neighbor friends to sleep in the tent and they all had a great time.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever over dyed or married your colors with colors that were not quite right for the job? Good luck with finding just the right color, Looking forward to seeing your before and after pictures. JB
Yeah....where do those weekends go?????
