I don't think I have, FFB. I'm knitting a baby bag to be worn, kind of like a long jumper closed at the bottom so it's like a wearable bag. It's a German pattern I found on etsy. I was going to make it for my own grandbaby, but I think she'll be past swaddling and bags by the time I get it done. I think I'll make it for CM who is expecting in April.

Helia, the baby bag sounds lovely, and I'm sure your friend will be thrilled to receive it.

FFB, will the boys be going on a skiing trip with the school, or are the lessons just practice?

I've done a little more so far this week. I need to buy more dishwasher cleaner so I can run the cleaning cycle on that. ( Apparently, cleaners for washing machines and dishwashers are not interchangeable, which , when you think about it, makes sense!)

I'm in a weeklong genealogy course online this week, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with breaks. That means I'm not getting much done this week....

That course sounds very intensive and time consuming, Twins! Almost like a full time job in itself.
