It feels like Saturday because the kids are off school for one more day. This is the project we worked on. We got the little colored "chocolate" discs, melted them and squirted them in a mold. This was the first time I tried doing the double boiler method and I didn't do it well. They still taste sweet but they don't look the greatest. These are the ones that turned out the best. The other shapes were dull and broke easily. It also makes a big mess.
I worked on my husband's sleeves but I didn't get very far. I think they are at 17" last time I measured. I'm glad I am doing them two at a time because I think I would dread making the second sleeve. Yesterday I made three pairs of baby mitts in red and orange. Today I'm swatching for my secret sister's shawl. The Trillian is getting some love as a before bed and waiting room project.
Running Man wasn't that great till near the end. It was a cross country race so I felt like there were a lot of shots of people traveling till the end when there were more games. This is the last episode and I'm caught up. I've also been watching some Let's Eat and I'm on the last episode of that as well. I'm going to finish up ...Alice after that. I have lots of plans.
Podcasts yesterday were good. It was interesting to hear Heather's (Highland Handmade) recap of Stitches South. Knitting Butterflies had some interesting information on photography. On Knit 1 Heart Too they had Meliabella from His and Hers on and they really looked like they were having fun. I was going to listen to Dramatic Knits but he hadn't posted when I looked. I'll catch him next time.
Outside of making chocolates I don't think we had anything else going on. We did go to Easter service and I got a great picture of the kids in their Easter cloths (same ones we will use for E's wedding). It's raining today but it's warm so we are headed in the right direction. I think that's it for now. See you next time.
