I'm back

Yesterday I, my aunt and grandma made 285 tiny, tiny "uszka" (like pierogis, but much smaller and the shape is different, I'll post a picture in a month) for Christmas dinner's borstsch (red beet soup) and 100 cabbage and mushroom pierogis, also for Christmas dinner. I brought half of that frozen back to Warsaw, and they're now waiting in the freezer till it's Christmas time. My culinary contribution to xmas dinner is thus done! I might bake some sort of xmas cake or cakes at one moment, but all the rest will be done by my father and his wife. Good. I was totally pooped yesterday, we worked from 11am till 6pm in the kitchen.
Today my cousin and his wife arrived with supplies for a nice breakfast, we ate together and had nice chats/laughters later. And then it was time for the 3,5 h trip by train. I spent all evening catching up on my mail and other urgent stuff.
Time is flying... I will be super busy all the next month and I fear I won't be able to do all I've planned. I was hoping (and still am!) to finish H's afghan in time to give it to him in 10 days in Cheeseland, but I got work and I'll be working a lot all next week, so stitching time will be very limited.
I didn't take anything to stitch for the trip, I hate train time so much that I try to half-sleep to survive LOL! and I was right in guessing that I would be to tired yesterday to stitch. Tomorrow I plan to pay a lot of bills, which will take a long time, clean the flat and stitch, so I can work hard from Monday morning.

Isa V has a new freebie on her blog, it is Joyeux Noel shaped as a heart. Happy stitching!
