Christmas Goodies
Check out these groovy shirts from HippyChix.com...I can't wear long sleeves much of the year, so these would sit unworn for 10 months of the year, but I am digging them anyway...
Here's a pic of the Mystery Ball Scarf that I made the other day...it goes really fast, I think I was done in two days, and I'm a slow knitter...I like the outcome, although the heavy yarns tend to pull the scarf down (click to see a full shot) and somehow I've managed to start an unravel that I don't know how to stop so I'm keeping it folded up for now..
Last night I was playing w/ some new 'suede' yarn and decided to knit up a quick cell phone cozy...my cell phone is larger than the average bear and with the carrying case, its even more cumbersome...So I kinda just knitted around the entire thing and stitched up the sides...now I need to come up with a cool closure for it and its ready to go...
This is a neat site for Christmas, but they need to update and catchup..today is the 11th, right? Well, I'm sure they are busy and will get to it when they can...
The tree is up, only a smattering of ornaments made it on, but they look great and apparently are taunting Amelie who was bonking them furiously last night...She started with the tiny glass balls and moved to the large ones, but I managed to get her to stop before anything fell off and broke...Today is another day, tho, and I'm sure before the holiday is over we'll have a casualty or two to vacuum up...hopefully when they come tumbling down, they won't break on the carpet...we'll see...
This morning is Shipping Time...Tra La! So you will indeed get your goodies before the changing of the calendar...I'm gonna make some beads between now and when I leave for Kate's, but they won't be for sale till I get back...
70's all week this week, can't complain about that...Our temps seem to go from 80 to 30 and we don't get much inbetween temps, so its nice to have some decent, comfortable temps to enjoy for awhile...I should be outside dumping compost in my front yard, but that will happen...I have wildflowers to scatter as well...
Now that the tree is up, its time to get some presents wrapped and under the there...la la...
