Bad Blogger

I know...I've been a bit of a bad blogger lately...not blogging much at all. I have just been in a funny little funk lately and haven't had a lot to say. I'm happy to say I am done with all my Christmas shopping!!! Well...except for stocking stuffers and one trip to the drug-store and/or Dollar Tree with take care of that!

We are doing Christmas early this year.....the 14th and 15th. Not sure what we will be doing on the technically "real" Christmas since we will be by ourselves again. Last year we went to my sister-in-law's home in Bedford and we considered doing that again, but I'm working Christmas Eve and if we go it would be just for the day on Christmas Day...sort of a quick trip.....so we will probably just go get Daddy and spend the day with him. Might be a good day for just knitting all day :>) How's that for a run-on sentence...lol!

I haven't been doing much knitting at all since we got back from our trip and I'm having serious withdrawals...lol! I've been working on other things though.

I have been doing this:

This is the 18th one I have done and just ordered 3 more kits since there is the potential for 3 more grand kids by next season! I have 13 of the 17 on the fireplace with the other 4 on a ledge behind my chair! I think we are going to have to figure out a way to do a double layer somehow...lol.

Here is the other thing I have been working on:

Savy got a bunk bed with a built in desk recently and they have been dragging a dining chair back and forth from the kitchen for her to use. I figured she needed her own chair for her desk!! I found the chair at a thrift store for $5 and did it to match her bedding. Amanda and I did the same thing with her nursery furniture all those years ago and it turned out so cute! Now all I have to do is figure out how to wrap the silly thing...lol! A couple of years ago I found some huge plastic bags in Christmas things...just hoping I can find something like that again for this.

I am working today so I had better go get presentable and out the door!
