dh went out of town to visit a friend for the weekend (he’ll be back at some point on Monday).

my goals: finish the gift knits (for L, my sis, and maybe the BIL. oh, and dad’s hat), finish the gift sewing (4 pillows in brocade. should be pretty straightforward), go see Sweeney Todd, and grab what I don’t already have for the gift baking (cookies for dad & the BIL).

I’ve been working on L’s mittens (meant to be last year’s gift) and am now nearly done with them - just need to get the 2nd one off the needles and sort out the thumbs on both of them.

A’s toy is nearly done - I need to get it felted and stuffed.

I need to go run some errands today, but I don’t really want to leave - my KnitPicks order left the local Sortation center at 12:13AM today, and I REALLY need the needles in it to work on dad’s hat. (of course, if I wait around all day, they won’t show up until the 24th, which is the ‘estimated in home’ date)
