A Lazy Sunday

A lazy Sunday is planned, after all it's the Olympics !  And Canada won its first medal yesterday; a Bronze in the 4 X 100m freestyle relay for women. Yeah !!! I still can't figure out Rugby 7 

Yesterday I finished putting all the names on the stockings so these are the jobs that are left;
1. Cut out 6 snowmen
2. Cut out 6 top hats
3. Embroider 3 tophats [ for the girls]
4. Knit 6 scarves
5. Cut out and attach the eyes, mouth and 'coal'
6.Cut out holly and berries.
7. Cut out batting, pin and sow the snowmen onto the stockings
8. Sew up the stockings


I'll do all this while watching the tv, of course !

The Cherry Chutney turned out quite well. I think I'll make another batch and maybe a batch of jam. We'll see who will pick some cherries for me, because I'm much to busy with the stockings. Once I have finished them, I need to tuck the ends in on the two Infinity scarves and shawl I made for ED's Outlander  Wine Party.

Hubby was out in the garage again yesterday. I can hardly wait till he moves to the basement. I so need it all done ! 

Last night I made Salisbury Steaks with mashed potatoes and salad. YS really enjoyed it; his medication that he was on for an inflamed ligament really did something to his tastebuds. he said nothing had tasted right ! But last night I guess the drug is finally out of his system. Tonight I think something really simple - hot dogs. With bootlegger beans and coleslaw.

We have trapped  6 squirrels so far. There is at least another one around that is chattering at us. they had almost completely destroyed our shed. We took 3 compost bins of pine cones out of the shed last spring. They had chewed holes in the sides and floor; this spring we discovered they had chewed a hole in the roof !! I am sure the shed is only being held up by the repairs we've done. 

Off to sew the snowmen !
