Becoming a hermit....

I signed on for the the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend despite the fact that I work on Saturday night. I still don't have any other plans except to do a little stitching and perhaps some cookie or candy baking. And cleaning. There's ALWAYS cleaning and organizing to be done.

I din't get a lot of stitching done today as I had errands to run and, of course, cleaning and organizing. I bought myself a Vornado space heater for the bonus room, so that I can make both my husband and I happy at the same time. He's happy that I'm not jacking up the thermostat at night and I'm happy that I can actually be in a warm room while I'm awake. I'm curious to see if it makes a positive difference in our heating costs.

Once I whittle my WIPs down to a manageable list next year, I need to start my Chatelaine. I got the pattern for the Caribbean Mandala but I still have not kitted it or bought the fabric. Partly, it's because of the supply cost, but partly it's because I'm not sure what fabric to do it on. White just seems too plain. I saw someone stitching it once on an aqua color and I really liked it, so that tempts me. I guess we'll see next year sometime, ay?
