Project 365: Day 215

Jessy came over tonight for dinner, birthday hat designing/collaboration and RomCom movie watching. The only thing wrong with the night was that Jessy thinks our house is too cold so she kept her coat on the whole time she was here.

Voter

Project 365: Day 214

I voted! Minneapolis used Ranked Choice Voting for this election, which made the preparation process a bit different than usual. This system combines the primary and the election into one ballot. There were many more candidates, so I had to do far more research than usual. I voted after work but was only the 467th person to vote at my precinct.

On a side note, one of the mayoral candidates is named Joey Lombard and he ran under the party of "Is Awesome". Which meant his part of the ballot read as follows:

Light in the AM

Project 365: Day 213

Daylight Saving Time = Great in the morning, Sucky in the evening.

Rhinebeck Haul

Finally! Time to show you my Rhinebeck haul. In no particular order...

4 skeins of American Wool from Wild Apple Hill Farm sold by Orange Clove Primitives. These skeins are intended to become a pair (or two) of felted slippers.

Two sampler bags of Simpler Thyme soap. One bag is from Becky as a housewarming gift. Thanks, Becky!

Sock that Rock - Mediumweight sock yarn in Farmhouse from The Fold

A bag of merino fiber for use in felted bead jewelry, thrummed items and felted soap. I don't remember which booth this came from.

A cute DPN (or crochet hooks) case made by Go Monkey Design.

A Debra's Garden sock/lace needle gauge pendant.

Creatively Dyed Yarn Woodbrook yarn in Dan, selected by Jamie to become a Christmas gift for her. She wants a stocking hat and she is one of the few people that I take knitting orders from.

Oasis Yarns Seduction in Ruby - sold by Seaport Yarn. This is already on my needles on its way to becoming a Lacy Baktus. It is so soft!

There is one more thing that I bought, but it is the mail being exchanged for the correct size. I'll have to show you that one later.

No Plans

Project 365: Day 212

This past week was full of plans, yesterday was full of to-do list tasks and today was the day of no plans. I spent it with Fanny, Christmas knitting projects, a blanket, some snacks and The Office on streaming Netflix.
