Can You Guess?

There is something about us

You may not know

No matter the weather

Come rain, sleet or snow

Ideas for placement

Pop into our heads

The easiest part

Is changing the linens

On all the beds!

The Grandkids say it is something to see

In every single room

You will find a tree!

Have you guessed it yet?

That this post has a reason....

To let everyone know

WE LOVE THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!

Believe or not.......I didn't get pictures of all of it...lol! I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. I guess you can tell what we did :-).

The outside is even more decked out than the inside....will post pics of that next time around!

Best Laid Plans

What is that they say about "best laid plans"? Mine being to stick to wips until I have at least half of them cleared out before starting something new....lol. I should have known better!

I had my resolve firmly in hand in that regard.....then I get an invitation to a baby shower....oh well! The shower is next Saturday so I opted to do one of those fast diagonal baby blankets from some Homespun I had in the stash.

It worked up really fast. Think I'll get some soft green ribbon to thread through the eyelets and call it done! Since it worked up so quickly I decided I have time to try doing some of those cute baby longies that are all over Ravelry.

The pattern was a little muddy on picking up the gusset and I realized that I knitted up the crotch into the first leg so I need to rip back and correct that...but all-in-all, these went really fast too.....even faster than the blanket. I know what I'll be doing for baby showers from now on!

Before I got the shower invitation I did manage to finish the Central Park Hoodie!!! Yea!!! I love this sweater! I got to wear it this weekend (sans buttons)....haven't found the perfect ones for it yet......and it is so warm and cozy!

If I didn't have a bazillion other things I want to do I'd do another one :-) That's about all the knitting news I have other than one stash enhancement. I got some Berrocco Geode.

Am planning on doing this out of it. Hopefully that link works....if not....it is the Nori pattern on the Berroco site!

Other stuff going on was Halloween with the kiddos! Savy loved her fairy costume and looked so cute in it! Dax was a Ninja and boy, did he get the candy thing figured out in a hurry! It was so funny once he "got it". He would say Trick or Treat on the way up to the houses, but once he got to the door all he would say is "candy, candy"!

Savy also turned 7 this past week! I can't believe it! She also lost 2 teeth...something she is SO excited about! We thought she would chose Hanna Montana as her birthday party theme....we really did! I about fainted when Amanda told me she was insisting on a skull and crossbones theme!!! We tried to convince her to pick something else but she had her mind made up! I know it is really "in" right now, but you know how these grandmas can be.....lol! We sort of lean towards the "sweet and cute" type of stuff! Anyway, I do have to say, it ended up being really cute and all her little friends LOVED it! Oh, well....so much for "old school"...lol!

As usual, DH did her cake....and he outdid himself once again!
