Foggy...

Looking out my kitchen window I can barely see the neighboring houses through the fog. Listening to the news I am thankful that we are where we are...devastation in so many places of the world

Weather forecast is for a bit of showers today...well bring it on...but just showers and not a down pour....thank you.

I was asked some months ago (months! holy crap!) if I would knit a throw/afghan for my best friends sister. Of course I said yes. She bought the pattern and yarn and sent it to me. Now I'm not a yarn snob (don't listen to some who know me and have seen some of my yarn stash) but when I opened the box and saw the yarn all I could think of was horrible thoughts. I've used the yarn before and it was never nice.

After much knitting and frogging and knitting and tinking I finally settled on the needle size for the yarn and am now close to the half way mark...

I'm also working on another scarf for our oldest daughter...so far I love the yarn...a bit of cashmere...(oops, what did the snob say?)

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wonderful Surprise...

Today we were blessed with a couple packages...thanks to our daughters

One package will be opened on Christmas Day, hopefully in front of the webcam so our grandson can see us...

The other package was opened when we received it...

Hubby loves to go to The Elephant Bar for dinner...and we'd just been discussing that we'd have to wait until next month because we need to pay for our car tags this month...

...in the package, to our surprise, a gift card to The Elephant Bar...so we decided to go to dinner tonight...and it was wonderful.

Busy Busy

I've been busy...

...all Christmas presents have been packed, shipped and received so that is one thing out of the way and I'm glad...usually I'm late getting packages mailed so I'm very happy that everything is done and out of the way early this year...

...I've started too many projects...will try to spend some time going through all the 'works in progress' and sort them out...prioritize them and get them done...

...Started a new project today...yes, another one...found some nice red wool (my favorite color) in my stash and have started the French Press Felted Slippers ... on size 15 needles...using 3 strands at a time...I think I'll like these

...It's time for making fudge and cookies...so off I go...
