With COVID-19 on the rise again, it looks like I shall be homebound this winter. I spend too much time on the Internet and I am determined to exercise, eat healthy and spend time doing different things each day.
Reading is my number one hobby so, there's that.
I found a lot of yarn and knitting needles among mom's belongings. I have crochet hooks and other knitting needles along with a lot of yarn at home too. Mom bought them but never had time to knit any of it. So, I have plenty of knitting and crochet material to play with.
I have always wanted to make granny squares and I will be trying my hand at that. I bought some very colorful yarn for granny squares.
I also have a coloring book for adults. It is buried somewhere in my bookcase. Time to dig that up and the coloring pencils too.
Add the sewing projects I already have on top of these, there is plenty to keep me occupied and happy. Well, I hope so anyway...
I think there will also be many Zoom Meetings with friends to fight the solitude.
Today, I just felt this urge to go shopping. As I can not go to a Mall and wonder around carelessly, I walked into this store I really like. They offer very reasonably priced textile products. I bought myself two sweaters that I can wear at home during the winter. They are 50% real wool and 50% acrylic. Pure wool is hard to find and extremely expensive these days. Honestly, this mini shopping excursion felt good. Then I thought about this and believe it or not, my last shopping trip was in the US in January to buy something for myself. No wonder I felt like it.
Tomorrow, I am heading home (hopefully).
I am laughing because my sister an I went to look at upholstery fabric yesterday and we both talked about how it felt exotic after spending so much time at home.
ReplyDeleteI guess everybody is feeling the same. Lol! I do miss the normal normal but, I am so scared of getting sick. I have to adapt to this new normal.
