A New Pair of Socks

On Tuesday, I finished knitting another new pair of socks - the photograph doesn't show the colors properly, but, the socks are knitted with dark blue and light blue acrylic yarn.  This pair will be given as a New Year's gift to one of my relatives.

I spent part of the day wrapping gifts and tagging them.  I also ordered two additional gifts that I wanted to complete the gifts I had planned to give to two young people on my gift list.  A set of pens to go with a journal for one person and a set of crochet hooks, yarn needles, and stitch markers to go with a book on crochet for another person who wants to learn how to crochet.  This seems to be the year of crafts/activity kits.  I had bought some unfinished wooden signs with saying from the dollar store and they will be paired with a set of acrylic paints and paint brushes to be given as gifts and one other person is receiving a painting kit.  

I also sorted through and tidied two of the drawers in the sideboard where I store gift wrap and gift bags, etc.  I have Christmas related gift wrap in one drawer and all occasion gift wrap in the second drawer.  I still need to sort through the third drawer  I am hoping that I will be able to store my card making supplies in that drawer.

On Tuesday, I was grateful for:

- Being able to order the last of the gifts online
- Free delivery
- Weekly trash collections
- My yarn stash
- Working appliances

Tuesday's joyful activity was knitting.

Plans for Wednesday include tidying the third drawer in the sideboard and making more cards.

How was your Tuesday?  What are your plans for Wednesday?
