I'm in a mess

I have so many projects running at the same time and I don't seem to get anything done. Where do I start ?
We had a few days of autumn holiday that we spent in the mountains ...
Rented a cabin and went for long mind relaxing walks. No electricity or water, only heating from two wood fireplaces. (And an outdoor loo, a bit too chilly I thought.) Evenings were dark, just candlelight, so no sewing was done. Glad I had my Kindle with me ... and a miner style headlamp. 
Then I had a weekend with the grandkids. They live on the other side of the country and the train crosses the mountains ... already snow there! I saw kids building a snow fortress and enjoying the first snow.
At home they have put up snow markers along the roads and temperatures below zero the last couple of mornings.
I do have one finish. Son #1 needed potholders. Now he's got some.
Home again, back to normal for a few days, so where shall I begin - I've heard the word "Christmas" whispered in dark corners .... and I have so many plans ....

  1. Nope, you lost me at the no water or electric - and as for the outside loo - shudder! I'm not jealous of your trip at all. Glad you enjoyed it - clearly you are much madder than I thought!

  2. Oh my, all that snow! that looks cold!
    I was just showing my Husband and saying, you forget how our friends in other countries can have such different weather. I walked down into town in a tee shirt today.
    The cabin must have been very romantic :-D
