I have not been sleeping well. The hours between 3 and 5 AM are the hardest for me to sleep currently and I do not know why. I have a thought it is when my body is most uncomfortable in bed. If I can shift it to 1 to 3 AM, I do feel more rested the next day. Not today though.
Many times, when I wake I move to my rocking chair. I pick up some crocheting and work on it until I feel like sleep may be a possibility. Sleep may not happen but it does mean I have just not laid there for hours. And work has gotten done. This time of year it is normally a present. Actually, that can be year round.
I keep thinking I should pick up some hand sewing but I am not sure I am that coordinated in the middle of the night. A crochet hook is a much better option. I have had to take out a few mistakes. It is a bit frustrating but it is what it is.
This gift is down to the last skein. I will take a picture of it soon and then it will be sent off. It is really not a Christmas present but it is a request from my Dad. My Mom has her own chair now too. I can see me being requested to make something similar for her. It just takes time.
