After I tatted my second ring on my ornament of the day, I realized that I hadn't tatted the chain as I have been. Oops! Rather than un-tatting, I just alternated chain designs. Although it doesn't match my other ornaments, it still counts!

I crocheted some more Chapstick covers during the football game last night. I'm slowing down. It now takes me about 20 minutes to finish one. It's a great way to use up small bits of yarn, and they are a big hit with both kids and adults!

My day has been jam packed with activity! I addition to attending church, we managed to take down quite a few Christmas decorations. We had kept them up so that family who couldn't be here at Christmas could see them when they came last weekend. We still have quite a bit to put away, but we've made a good start.

My ornament of the day is finished, so I'm still on track for finishing an ornament a day in January.

I had one skein of really soft chunky yarn in my stash, something I purchased by mistake. I'm not a fan of working with chunky yarn. I wasn't sure what to make with it, but since I'm on a roll with cowls, I decided that was the way to go. It's not quite as tall as the worsted weight cowls I've been making, but it's still a nice size.

I gave away all of my chapstick holders last week. I've had requests for some more, and I have quite a few small balls of leftover yarn. This is the perfect project to work on while watching football. Go Bears!

We made a trip to Milwaukee today to watch granddaughter Ella play volleyball. It was a lot of fun, but it was a long day. It's about a three hour trip each way for us. We left at 5:30 this morning and arrived home at 4:30 p.m.

I started another Christmas ornament while watching t.v. last night. It was far enough along that I was able to finish it today. Whew! My streak is still going!

I sure haven't accomplished what I had hoped to this week.

One ornament a day is all I've been able to manage, and tomorrow isn't looking very promising. Still, I've been tatting an ornament a day!

Another day got away from me, but I did tat my ornament of the day!

Today really got away from me. We left early this morning to take Mom to an eye doctor appointment and were caught in a snow squall... not a big deal if you have nowhere to go. What should have been a quick trip to the eye doctor and back, wound up taking us all morning. The roads were terrible and traffic was slow.

I did get to school in time for lunch duty. The middle school kids were wild! You would have thought they had never seen winter weather before. 

All of the activity of the day wore me out, so I only managed to tat one ornament. I count it as a good day!

Good news! Our Internet connection has been restored! Isn't it funny how important technology has become to us?

I had a very busy day, so I only had time to tat one ornament. Tomorrow is shaping up to be another busy day. Let's hope I keep up the ornament pace!
