Brrr! Too Cold For Me!

November 17, 2020

Good morning.  Tis a bit nippy this morning with temps in the thirties.  Today we should get up into the low forties with maybe some sunshine.  But tomorrow morning - aha!  When I wake up temps will only be in the twenties.  Brrrr!    

The calendar says that it's not Winter for another five weeks, so I wonder why the wicked cold weather can't wait until then.  Ever notice how Winter comes about a month and a half early and lingers around for a month or more after the season is supposed to end?  Whatever happened to the four season theory?  

Yesterday wasn't a good breathing day so I did not get much accomplished.  However, last evening I did finish up all my little crochet projects.  You know, all the yarn ends that need to be worked in, etc.  I don't normally leave any of the ends for later but this time I did.  Big mistake!  But, they are all done now.  

This morning I have to call the company that supplies my oxygen equipment.  There's been an orange light blinking on the big concentrator since last evening.  Plus an annoying quiet whistle.  I'm using my portable concentrator until someone from the company comes out to fix the big concentrator.

I even started working on a new project.  The wrap with pockets.    I chose a medium blue yarn and did a few rows to see how it would look.  I need to make a few changes to the pattern though, so I'll rip it out later and start over.  I'm adding a few stitches to make it wider.  I'll take a photo after I get a few rows done.

Today I thought I'd share a paper craft from Dover.  It's a little box for holding a small gift.  I'll also post a picture of the cover of the book in case anyone is interested.


There are a couple more little boxes, so I'll post them tomorrow.  These were free downloads from Dover Publishing.  

I'm just waiting for my calendars to get here so that I can start wrapping and labeling a few packages.  Today I'll work on my Christmas card.  I'd like to get it finished and sent off to the printer.

Now it's time for me to do a bit of blog reading before finding some fun mischief to get into.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.

I hope the guy from the oxygen company will be able to come real soon, that euipement should be in good order. Glad you also have the small ones.

Here too next few days temperature will be lower, may be 8-9C. As much as we may hate it, wintertime is coming! But I agree when you say it could have wait a bit longer LOL.

Medium blue for the wrap with pockets sounds to be a lovely colour for it.

You have a wonderful day,
Hug

Oh I hope the oxygen gets sorted out today. At least you have a backup.
That snowman box is so cute. I decorate with snowmen in January so I may have to look for this online.

Yes, the weather has gotten so cold here. But it's supposed to warm up later this week. I agree there seems to not be four seasons anymore. What happened there?

I hope your get your oxygen concentrator sorted out. That definitely sounds like an urgent problem! Glad you're enjoying your Christmas preparations. I'm not even thinking about Christmas yet, but maybe I should be.

I hope you get some help with your breathing. My Dad used one of those big machines and it was great. He also had the portable which came in handy to travel with. Enjoy your day dear friend and stay warm! HUGS!
