The Morning Floof looks like he wants to stay asleep.

Good morning, and thanks for the Floofy!
Strange night. Just as I got ready to settle down and sleep, I heard a text alert and my first response was not to check who it was. It was my son, with a photo of himself holding a book by Edd China of Grease Junkies, British TV! My son had entered a contest and his name was chosen, so he got an autographed copy.

He said he had to laugh because when Edd was about five or six, his mother bought a cuckoo clock and Edd asked her if he could take it apart. I had a little boy about the same age when I got my first cuckoo clock who asked me the same thing!! We both laughed at that!!

Anyway, I woke up about two hours later and there was a text from my daughter, showing her latest hockey shirt and another text from the niece I stayed with in AZ, showing me the photo I had sent her. It was taken at the reception of her parent’s wedding, (my recently departed brother) and she had never seen it before. I was happy I could give it to her, as her mother had passed away when the niece was about five.

Thankfully, nothing more happened and I was able to go back to sleep after about 90 minutes. Ungh.

So here we are with another morning. I lacked enough yarn to finish the last 10” of edging on my replacement shawl, and I decided that rather than buy another skein and use only about a yard and a half, I’d take out the edging and only put the picots on the bottom edge. Now what else to I make? Another shawl? A stole? I haven’t decided. Finding a pattern I like is the hard part.

Have fun looking for a pattern! I need to take the van to the shop. The brakes seemed a little squirrelly last night. I can take James and Vlad for camp physicals in the same trip.
