The days are rushing by double-time!  Relentless: whole new day, start the dishwasher, blink, make supper, blink, watch the snowflakes, blink, bed-time already.  I know we all have the same amount of hours in a day; mine might possibly on a faster space/time continuum setting?  I would like such an excuse.  I would hate to think I'm just slow.

Here's a hat I've made 4 times in the past little while, but I remembered to get some pics of this one before I gave it away.
Pattern: Amelia (in Ravelry) Yarn: Dark Horse Fantasy Acrylic

Beautiful Boy and his beautiful sister.

I also made a scarf/hat combo for my Dad's birthday, and 2 dickeys for my Mom for hers, and forgot to get pictures of THOSE.  (Any chance of an action shot, you guys?)  I really do WANT to journal my evaporating days, I WILL get better.


Here's some pictures of our Christmas decoration making party.  I ordered little kits from Oriental Trading company, and they pretty much rocked!  Cheap, easy and fun!  No, no pics to prove it though.  Here's lunch....

This picture is after Ethan gave them all their marshmallow guns he's been herniating over since he made them at the Relief Society Super Saturday.  It was a real pleasure to watch him be so excited to give to others!

All your cute are belong to me!

Here's a story about a scarf which will be interesting to only one person besides myself.  The other one of you should really skip this part.  Leslie (please pretend you're interested.  I've tried explaining it to Roger, and his smile was mighty glazed and polite) - remember that beautiful green scarf I started?   (Scrappy Lengthwise Scarf by Twirl Girl Fibers - It was free when I started the scarf, but I noticed she's charging for it now)  Well, the incredibly easy stitch involves bringing the yarn to the front every other stitch, a fact which I forgot every third time I picked it up to knit.  6 really long rows later, and I'd be scratching my head, wha?  frog, frog, frog.  After a year of intermittent puzzlement and disgust, I ripped out the whole darn thang and made a kid sized garterstitch scarf.  Humph.

But I really, really love the colors, and someday.............
