starting to feel a lot like christmas

♥ Comments (1) ♥

around here in the house it’s starting to feel like xmas! i get pretty lazy when wrapping presents and sometimes have to get creative! like turning a somewhat boring gift (a plastic lid you put over food in your microwave) into something new and fresh like AN ORNAMENT!


or just adding a big red bow to a rat and sitting him in the xmas tree


how about a dog under a tree?


she will catch some rays anywhere she can, and frankly with it being 5 degrees today who can blame her.
i went to lesa’s house for a little xmas get together with our knitting group. I for some reason didn’t take many pictures of things i should have, oops. Like her wonderful friend from the UK, Jen. Or Kristen who was in town from California. I did seem intrested in take 3 pictures tho. Here is one of my new favorite members, Ann. She is very cool and she is very funny. She LOVES kitties. She made a kitty hat for herself from the stitch and bitch nation book! here she is modeling it:

long after midnight we were still up talking and knitting away. Here are lesa’s animals, meet buddy the dog passed out snoozing

meet mittens the kitty who sleeps on her head

erin, kristen, ann, jen, lesa, rebecca, tara, and sly it was good to spend the evening with all of you and laugh and eat it was a good evening had by all.

If your order today thru the 30th from our little shop we’re not going to ship or process orders until the 30th. I am going to the east coast for xmas this year again. I’m going to Nat’s family’s again. I will process anything ordered and ship when i get back after the 29th.
In the meantime Wendy was an insomniac last nite and handed me these today for your viewing pleasure (they are up in the shop as of now)



I got my shrinky-dinks paper in the mail today so we will be putting up Mustached Animal Knitting Stitch Markers after the holiday! make sure you watch for them! People at the party last nite were asking about our pouches. They were curious if knitter’s who drop by our shop have purchased the 12 x 6 pouches. Because they are perfect for knitting needles! I think most people don’t know you can fit your straights in there and pop them into your knitting bag. So i thought i’d give it a mention here. i’m mailing out the last of the orders today

I’m working tomorrow and thursday, coming back to Indiana to do laundry and pack to fly out saturday afternoon. So maybe i’ll slip another post in there before i leave.

i got a check for a scarf i sent to the trunk show at Fancy but i don’t know which scarf sold or who bought it or anything. so if you bought it and you read the tag and came here drop a line and say hello! Or if you stalk my blog always feel free to drop a line hello. I love it when you do, because then i can read your blog and say thank you.

EDITED to add: How about all the damage control good ole G. Bush has been doing? oh wait it wasn’t “damage control” it was rallying support for even more washing away of our civil liberties. I like how he spent ten whole minutes yesterday during that press conference talking about how the government CARES about your civil liberties. Now. You KNOW the frickin’ court will give you a warrant for wire tapping and all that crap. So what just what makes you think you can go and break the Constitution and just do things without a warrant? Last time i looked we still have a Constitution and a Bill of rights…..? My friend Erin said somewhere on line you can buy a mug with the civil liberties on it and when you pour hot liquid in it they disappear. I should look into that.
