I strategized my last holiday prep runs to Target & the grocery store, and went this morning. Sunday morning has always proved a good plan on any given weekend, and it worked well this weekend, too.
I got home & unpacked everything, then straightened up my workroom a bit, since that’s where I plan to do most of my gift wrapping. There’s not much of that, but I need space!
I’ve been trying for a week or so to locate a couple of gifts that I bought/ordered early and “put someplace safe,” and finally found those. And I pulled some supplies together for gifts that are more like “Let’s Make Something.” I’m feeling good!
Ann, Brian & Addie arrived in Madison yesterday, and they’ll be up here tomorrow for a VERY quick overnight visit. They’ll head back to Madison for Christmas, then return here next weekend. Airbnb guests departed around noon today, so I went over there this afternoon to strip beds, start laundry & the dishwasher, clean the bathrooms, and take out the trash. They’ll just need to make their beds!
Time at Ann’s is supposed to be time for seaming the temperature blanket, but this morning I pulled a 9-year-old WIP from the pile and did a little surgery while I waited for laundry. I had extra time, thanks to that interminable MINUTE (that takes SO MANY MORE MINUTES) while the washer tries to balance the load for the final spin, so picked up all the stitches, too, and now I need to graft this “incomplete” Scoreboard scarf into an infinity scarf.
More on that later…
Hope things are going well for you!!

Congratulations on all of your strategic successes, especially finding the gifts that you had put away safely! I had to get a few things at the grocery store today and I kept procrastinating (because it was 12 degrees). I finally went at about 3:30, but so did everyone else. But I think I’m all done and sitting under an afghan knitting and trying to stay warm!
Sounds like everything is going smoothly—well done! I had to laugh about that final minute. It IS a long one! (You filled it wisely.) And I love the sounds of a “Let’s Make Something” gift!
Enjoy it all.
I think finding things you tucked away is a colossal win! I can remember a year when I could NOT find one… but it worked for the February birthday, lol! I am feeling very caught up… it is almost scary!
oh my goodness – I remember that scoreboard scarf – it’s going to be an awesome infinity scarf! Enjoy all the fun this week!!
