Working from home

It's a terrible day outside.   The east coast is being hit by a nasty nor' easter.  The schools and day cares are closed and most of the city is shutting down.   My little family is home, safe and warm by the fire.  

My job allows me to work from home when the weather is bad.   As long as the power holds on, I should be working.  But I find it very hard to concentrate when there are so many great projects to be working on.  I have some wool that is crying to be cut!!!   My hooking bowl of wool is empty and it's been a sad thing.  I've decided that I will work a few hours, but once I can't see the neighbours house, I'm done.  

For now, a couple projects I finished the last few days:  
I finished a cute little hat on the weekend for my daughter.   She's been waiting for a hat with a pom pom.   This is a patten I found in the small stack of old patterns I received from my mother.  

I tried my hand at slippers.   Fail.  They turned out large and odd looking.  I tried felting them, but they didn't full as well as I would like.  
Oh well.  They're a gift for my sister-in-law.   I'll have to try again.  

Time to get back to work....... I can still hear the wool calling.
