Less Than TWO weeks!

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas.....can you hear the music?  Less than 2 weeks...wow!  Are You Ready?

I am almost done with all my Christmas shopping....just a touch more to do.

So, how has your week been?  Mine had been fabulous...I wanted to share a picture of the view from my desk one day this week...the sunrise was soooooo pretty!



Okay, I am going to jump into Stash Enhancements...I got some new bags from Awesomegrannie.  I loved these bags but could not decide on the light colored or the black...so I purchased both to make a set.....Large, Medium and Notions......


Since I have been 'Hookin' lately, I decided to get some colorful crochet hooks...these are the larger sizes from 6.5mm to 12mm


 I got some new HiyaHiya Interchangeable Needles from Qianer.....they are my hostess gifts and I love them...one is the new sock interchangeable needle set......Thank You Qianer!


Louise from Biscotte sent me some new yarn too.....this is as a "Thank You" for moderating her Ravelry group....the left is her new Pure DK base and the right is the exclusive colorway for the sock club in bis-sock base.  The new DK base feels soooooooo good and I definitely see some more in my future....maybe a sweater or shawl with it!  Thank you Louise!



Then, I ordered the Tangled Lights colorway from Stacie at Must Stash....I blame this on Michelle from the Knotty Knit Wits podcast for this purchase....she posted on Instagram that Stacie had it for pre-order.....GRRRRR.....but I do love it!  I probably will not knit it up till next Christmas.


So....what did I knit on now?  Well, I knit on my December DVD socks.  I am kinda liking this Stellina, but not sure it is going to make me purchase more.  I think I have one more skein of a Stellina yarn that is just like this but orange (shocker) and that is all the Stellina yarn I have.

My mother had surgery this past Wednesday and this is what I got done while waiting in the waiting room.....
 I had forgotten my little thimble stickers, so I ended up knitting a hole into my finger....I have not done this in a long time


After giving my finger a little break, I worked on them a little more during the Cowboys Game last night....


While my finger was recuperating (LOL) I also finished the crocheted blanket for me.....Now, Jaime curled up with this after I finished it last night so I am thinking about making another one....so that we each have one to curl up with...but I have not decided yet....I LOVE it and it went pretty darn fast!


Even Precious was enjoying this blanket when I left for work this morning!



Well, that is all the knitting/crocheting I have for  this past week...but I did do other things.....

I put up my Christmas tree and only put lights on it.......


But then I had the grands come over....first it was just me and Antonio and he helped me decorate it....




Then, Celeste and Cat came....and they all spent the night.....


That made for one pooped Ga-Ma/Oma....but I loved having them all and spending time with them!

Here are some special Christmas things to share with you.......




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
