SiGh...Merry Christmas

I know I'm a day late with the greeting. I have had a really bad month. Everyone I know is fighting. People at work, family, friends, and some unmentionables. I found myself in a really bad funk and nothing seemed to pull me out of it. I had a few melt downs on people hoping it would help.

I tried being a secret elf and it was a lot of fun, especially when I got busted and ran with a turban on my head. HOW EMBARRASSING!

Someone secret elffed me with the nativity. BTW, I recognized the handwriting !!! The other funny thing was the children were looking at me at church, In a strange way. You know that searching kind of look, like up in your face, see your nostrols kind of look to see if you know what's going on. Nope, I acted like I didnt know anything at all. I didnt want to ruin their fun. How sweet.

Finally Christmas Eve I snapped out of it and had a good time and enjoyed the evening. Everyone was being nice and talking to each other and helping. Yesterday was a good day too and it wasnt because of presents. There's nothing like gadgets or electronics to get people working together. It was fun because I had to bail the youngsters out putting in a car stereo.
1)READ the directions.
2) There shouldnt be extra wires.
3) Ask someone whose done it before to help. (like me)
4) Use loud laughter to annoy them the whole time!

To those of you wondering, I did not get anything done on my list ( a few posts back) to prepare for Christmas. None of it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Two down Three more to go!!!

Beanie is done. Now Im waiting for the fabric to finish the PJ's. I have some blisters on my thumbs. Owie..

I started a coworkers scrub at 6:08 pm tonight, after I got home. I cut and sewed the whole thing and was finished ironing at 6:50 pm. But I realized that I forgot the pockets. I hate pockets so bad. I always get one cock-eyed or crooked as a dogs hind leg. Think she'll mind if I say, with utter shock as she is opening her gift, "Oh my... I forgot the pockets"! I'm too dog tired to do anymore.

FYI she demands I put pockets in by Monday. WHAAAAA, WHAAAAA!!!

Crafty girls

I tell ya the house just got clean and the craft crap exploded. I do not know how it happened but but someone is in trouble.

Look at this cute wreath Bridgette made. She wants to decorate the sister missionaries appartment. What a sweetie pie!

I have a last minute guest coming for Christmas. I knit up a beanie last night and finishing it up tonight. Guess what team this is for!

I have two dresses to finish sewing and a pair of PJ's.

dO yOu KnOw Me ?

How well do you know me quiz?

Incredibly Beautiful

This is posibly the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. This makes me stop and gasp at how sacred and special the temple grounds are. When I am walking around the grounds I am filled with an abundance of reverence. My wish is that for one instant the whole world would feel it too, just once.

February Lady Sweater progress

This is what the February Lady Sweater is going to look like when it's finished. almost 3, 000 people in the knit blog world and ravelry have knit this. They fit all sizes and so far it looks flattering on everyone.

My FLS is almost done. Im not sure if I am going to give it away or not. I have one more sleeve to knit. I blocked before I finished the last sleeve because I was starting to hate the yarn but it blocked so nice that I will use knitpicks Swish wool yarn again. (for those of you who done't know what blocking is, it is washing the finished garment according to the yarn instructions. This makes all the stiches perfectly the same size and also allows you to make it bigger, smaller, longer, or shorter. To get the perfect fit.)

You cant really see the detail on this so if you click here and scroll down you can see it close up.
