Today is the Winter Solstice - the shortest day/longest night of the year. Happy first day of winter, y'all. :) If you click on the tree (and can stand to sort through the advertisements), you will go to a page that explains many of the traditions/folk tales about the winter solstice. :)
I should try harder to gear up for this day - I always look forward to it. Although the weather will get colder until the spring equinox, the days will be getting longer by a tiny bit with each sunrise from now on. :) Yeah, light!
I did not post here yesterday as I was so incredibly annoyed with myself, I could barely stand to be inside my own skin. Sigh. Yesterday morning was the monthly meeting and annual holiday party of Village Quilters Guild in Catonsville. I was so looking forward to going. I have not been having so much trouble with my sleep schedule lately ... so, of course, yesterday I could not wake up until after noon. Grrr. I had a doctor's appointment at 3 p.m. (a follow up about my neck with the orthopedist) and had made it at his Catonsville office since I knew I'd be in Ellicott City (nearby) earlier.
Well, I did get to the doctor's office (3 p.m.? no excuse) ... but was so unhappy with myself, I did not go anywhere else.
I did manage to sew ONE block for the Sunshine Stars quilt yesterday ... and ONE today:
At least that work is going to benefit the Village Quilters (it will be a bingo prize quilt). Sigh.
Other than those two blocks, I did catch up on my temperature blocks today. Also did a bit of housework.
I am debating whether to change my pattern for the temperature blocks or not - I like the woven rail fence I'm using now - it's easy to make and looks nice when constructed. I think I will stick with it as I'm not tired of it. :)
Got lots of house clearing to do before Tuesday.
:) Linda
