Dawn Brocco's Life & Design Blog

Hubby worked at his extra job on Sunday, so I baked a batch of cinnamon buns and made a beef stew for a few nights' dinners. He bought a nice crusty loaf of bread for eating it with - yum! I cleaned my plate and I wasn't even hungry. Had more for today's lunch, washed down with vanilla egg nog. Never saw that before, but hubby does the shopping and finds all kinds of goodies to bring home for me. I have to watch what I say during the week, as he'll remember it and buy it for me on the weekend.

I'm rethinking the style of the coat I want to make in the Atlantic yarn - was thinking a-line, but am now thinking short and longer jacket versions, straight, not a-line, but with a bit of waist shaping, so it's not boxy. I don't know about accessories, yet, if any.

And I'm ripping back those mittens. Again. I hate to have a design do me in! And I do think I'll do the 2nd cable and rib pullover sample in Bluefaced Leicester. You can't get much cozier or softer than that wool.

Was going to begin cookie baking today, but Mondays have so many other things to tend to, and I've been tired the past few days, though I finally slept my full 8.5 hours last night - cookies can wait a day or so, when I've recovered more from the chemo sleepus interruptus.

My faux hair came in just now, but I need to work on styling it. Will see what hubby thinks about it later ...
