No, but I've always wanted to learn. I still have the blanket one of my grandmothers knitted for me as a baby.QOTD: Do you do any of that? How does one get started as an adult?
I have a aunt who quilts and another aunt who is quite good at knitting.
One of these days I'm going to do that -As far as learning, sometimes independent yarn stores will have classes.
took up weaving for a while (classes)
Oh man, what a wonderful skill to have, that must have been neat being able to take weaving classes. What a lost skill, you don't hear about to many people these days doing that.The weaving was something I first saw my grandmother do. She had a blanket loom and she carded her own wool and spun it into skeins of yarn plus dyed it. As kids we helped clean the wool and get it ready for the spinning process.
We've got a few of those alpaca places around here that sell items I think.
Long story short, I went dress shopping again. Resisted the urge to buy slacks, my mantra today was "make a damn effort for once" ha ha. I entered the changing room with 12 dresses, walked out of the store with 3 of them! I'm going to live with them for a day or so and try the on again and make a final choice.
It was blowing a bit of snow this AM, and it's cooolllllddd outside! To windy to get in hot tub and enjoy it unfortunately, since it's a treat on cold nights. Oh well - tomorrow is another day.
I saw something odd today, I was in a Food Lion grocery store in Smyrna, DE this afternoon picking up a few things, one of which was laundry detergent. Well they had the majority of the laundry detergent - but not all of it - that was pods in bags in those plexiglass type containers, like you sometimes see electronics in. So - it was weird - if I wanted to buy a smaller bag of Tide pods I had to take it in the case up to be undone. But the larger bag of pods was there NOT in the case. Some of the containers that had laundry pods were also in cases, some were not. And it wasn't brand specific either.
Dinner was /is hoagies from Wawa. Not sure about tomorrow, I did pick up a whole roaster with the intention of cooking it and breaking it down for lunch meat for this week. I might do it in the crock pot, or perhaps a good old fashioned roast chicken dinner. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Switching between Harry Potter & The Football...husband wants to brave the wind and hot tub after all ...what the heck, only live once. Off I go!
