We had a great time in Rochester playing with &#038; caring for my grandson, but as Dorothy learned, there&#8217;s no place like home&#8230;sleeping in our own beds, taking our usual walks, knowing where everything is.  And I just watched 3 deer make their way across my yard.<\/p>\n<p>While I was away I had a horrid stomach bug that was passing around.  The good news is that it really only lasted about 1 1\/2 &#8211; 2 days.  You can live through almost anything for that long.  Now I have my standard post-nasal drip annoyance that may or may not have anything to do with little kid germs.  I&#8217;ll beef up my immune system, gargle with salt water, and this, too, shall pass.<\/p>\n<p>I brought TONS of stuff to do with me and I was able to accomplish some of my work when the little boy was sleeping and the 2 days he was in day care that I wasn&#8217;t sleeping with the stomach flu.  I don&#8217;t have pictures of anything so I&#8217;m just sticking in some nature shots again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/snow-tracks-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/snow-tracks-1.jpg\" alt=\"tracks in the snow\" title=\"snow-tracks\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/snow-tracks-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/snow-tracks-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/snow-tracks-1-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/snow-tracks-1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got 50 pillowcases cut &#038; sewn into 185 bags for my packaging.  I figured out how to get 4 bags from most pillowcases.  Except for my bulkier baby blankets and shawls, the small bags are all I need.  I will make a dozen or so larger ones.  I still have to string the ribbon through the casing &#038; put my tags on them, but I can do that in relative leisure in front of the TV at night.  I also got all those <a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/2013\/01\/mac-me\/\" target=\"_blank\">dish towels &#038; the runner<\/a> hemmed and washed, although not pressed.<\/p>\n<p>I knit the little guy a hat that fits him well.  It&#8217;s not very warm, though, being made from Deborah Norville&#8217;s Serenity Garden yarn on a size 6 needle.  I&#8217;ll probably make another on a much smaller needle because the yarn is nice and soft &#8212; but not now.<\/p>\n<p>After a false start, I got my Missouri loom threaded with the warp I&#8217;d wound on before I left home and wove off four black lace scarves.  I didn&#8217;t get any fringes twisted, so I&#8217;m working on that today so I can wet finish the 10 scarves that are in that stage of development.  I also have 2 more warps I wound and brought with me that I can now put on my sweet counterbalance loom to weave off.<\/p>\n<p>No time to waste now &#8211; gotta get up out of my comfy chair and get to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Red &#038; I are happy to be home again.
