Sunday

So yesterday felt like Sunday but I understand it really is Sunday today. Ah. Long weekends. Good & bad.

We had a super Thanksgiving. To much to eat and to little exercise. The perfect day.

2nd DS & DDIL left for their home yesterday morning. Got a text message that they arrived safely after about 9 hours of driving. It's wonderful having them here but I always cry when they leave and DS looks at me like I've lost my marbles...

Today in town is the Christmas Lights Day. The local businesses have put up Christmas displays in the park and they will be lit tonight and every night until Christmas. There are 6 homes that can be toured and see their decorations inside & out and because of this I need to get some Christmas decorations on our house ASAP. One of the houses on the tour is just down the street and we are going to look like the Grinch's house if we don't have any decorations at all. And now for the whining....it snowed last night and I don't WANT to go outside and put up decorations. Poo.

And for a bit of knitting content: The Cameron sweater is coming along although I didn't hardly knit a stitch this past week. I've split it at the underarms and am working on the back. Maybe I'm 1/3 done?

Have a nice Sunday. Hope your weather is more cheerful than what we have here.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving! Am having a wonderful time with our family. Wish you were here. Gobble Gobble!

Busy visiting

2nd DS & DDIL arrived last night. It is so nice to have them here. But it means that I probably won't be posting anything. I'll be seeing you later this week!

Back in time

So I was wondering what to post today. My life is rather plain & uneventful most of the time. But you'd think I wouldn't have run out of things to say in less than a month. So I'm going back in time, a little over 4 years ago, and show off the wallhanging I made for my sister.

She was so much help when Daddy was getting older and nearing the end of his time here and after he passed on I wanted to do something for her to show how much I cared for and appreciated her. I was into quilting at that time and so this is what I made for her. She loves it and has it displayed on her couch. She's into angels and all the hearts are for how much I care for her.

Try try again

So I didn't really get any cleaning done yesterday. I got some pictures hung that have been waiting for a long time. I cleaned the microwave...that was a nice accomplishment but I'm just not getting into the housecleaning. 2nd DS and DDIL are arriving on Tuesday. I have to get cleaning done today. Why do I sabotage myself like this?? Work best under pressure? But this much pressure will be nuts. Okay, this is an order to me: Get Busy. Now.

Photo modifying and other mistakes

Lets just start off with a good big UFF. Naw, I still don't feel any better. I just modified 1st DS wedding picture and saved the new picture and lost the old one. AUGH! The only salvation is I have prints of it that I can scan back into the computer. A little head banging might be in order.

I'm starting to houseclean for Thanksgiving. I hope I can do that without messing up anything.

Another gray day besides.....

ETA: $%^**&$#@$&*&^%$*&!!!!! Now, I maybe feel a little better! :)

This will be a unique post. Blogger is having issues with the pictures...Again. So I'll just type along and see what comes up.

I couldn't sleep this morning. Woke up at 5 and gave up by 6. I know a lot of people normally get up at that time to get ready for the day but I haven't had enough beauty sleep at that time. I also don't believe in just laying there either so I got up and started on the Cameron sweater for DGS. I'm not doing handstands for the yarn yet. It seems kind of stretchy and I'm worried that I should have washed the swatch. Laziness will probably bite me on the butt. Time will tell.

The Fuzzy Feet are looking somewhat less gianormous now that they are felted. (They are for a size 14 foot!) Actually I like them enough that I bought enough yarn to make 2 more pairs. I succumbed to the lure of the yarn while shopping yesterday. Augh. How many days is left until Christmas??? Everything I'm knitting now is for family that lives right here so I won't have to figure in shipping time.

Shopping yesterday was slick as snot on a doorknob. Minimal crowds and average traffic. The busiest place was the grocery store. I guess everyone still has to eat.
