Other things made: a similar pair of mittens, and three pairs of woolly socks for Franklin, which he loves (every time he puts a pair on he singsongs, "mummy made it! Good job, mummy!"). Also a matching hat and neckwarmer for him, and a pair of felted slippers. He's got all kinds of woolly things this winter. And I'm so happy his coat still fits. The extra length I put in the sleeves paid off! Reflecting on the past year, and coming year a lot. I'm making more grand plans for my garden and for my life. I want to gain income from a source other than my current job by the end of next year, whether a new job, or some other employment. I feel my talents are a bit wasted where I am now. As a couple, Partner and I have done very well and paid off a good portion of our debts over the past year. I hope to continue that trend and pay an even bigger amount in the coming year (the goal is mortgage-free by 2020). And my favorite unfulfilled goal is to become self-sufficient in vegetables. I can do it next year, I know it!
Partner and I both have the coming week, Thanksgiving week, off. We have all sorts of household jobs to accomplish: I'm hoping we can bring home a load of manure from a local stable, a tree needs cutting down, and we want to check out a reclamation yard for greenhouse building materials. And we might just have a large turkey dinner one day, too.
