YARN ALONG 50/365

I was a little bored this past weekend, sooooo…..I casted on for Baby Vertebrae, in Quince fingering RED. Easy knit and great pattern! not sure I understand the purpose of this design since babies are not be put on their abdomen, but it is so very popular on Ravelry I decided to go for it.

It’s been back to work this week so not getting that much knitting done during the week

but-

I am reading a fairly interesting book.

Still Life

by Louise Penny.

It’s a mystery up in Canada, with a big European slant.

They have such “nice murders”, everyone is so polite and helpful-including the murderer.

The last of the Christmas dishes cleaned and put away till next year. Kinda sad that these special Fritz and Floyd Christmas dishes only get used once a year, but thank goodness that Christmas is only once a year. I am always exhausted after Christmas celebrations..feel kinda drugged from all the food and cheer. So I relaxed most of the weekend eating a few of these “rabbits royale”-a fancy name for cherry bon bons.  Very grown-up taste to these, ?infused with alcohol?

I need to find a great winter book to loose myself in! I stopped at the library yesterday and checked out several…maybe one, just one will fill my reading need! I hope so.

Have a peaceful last Monday of 2015.

I’m sending this man a Christmas Card…that is all he asked for, for the amazing Christmas display he puts up every year! 

This morning on the way to MOM [pies and coffee] for some Chai and knitting with Jill. We meet here on Sunday mornings….gets my week off to a good start.

I picked up a 2016 planner, something I never do…plan I mean!

I thought why not try to loosely put down some reminders that I would like to work on during 2016. 

Are you a New Year resolution type person, plan out your year?

Would love to hear ideas and thoughts on your plans for the following year. 

I’m going to be sharing mine!

Eric and I put up a small tree yesterday with lights!

The gifts are wrapped,[thanks to Eric]

Cooking will begin for the great feast that last 2 days in our family.

Snow-several inches are expected today and tomorrow, a full moon to boot!

May your Holiday be safe and joyful.

Greeting on the EVE of the EVE of Christmas Day.

Wishing all a peaceful, content day and season.

I wish I could say I have been in the holiday mood, but it hasn’t happened for me yet. We don’t even have a tree up and…nope we aren’t putting one up this year. Any decorations that are displayed are there because-well….they were not put away from last year! yes, the wheels have come off the holiday external display of Christmas Spirit. I blame it on that the “Christmas Story” is not playing everyday-all day!

I did however do some gift knitting last Sunday, 

COWLS.

Using bulky yarn-WOW are these fast knits!

Enjoy your Holidays.

I know we will, I have dinner for 12-14 to pull together and is not Christmas really about spending time with family and friends! Oh, and lots of great food! Now that I have covered.

I have been taking a picture or two a day, just haven’t been posting them daily.

It’s a busy time of year! I seem not to have the camera near my computer or the computer any where near the camera card to down load. So here is a catch up day, to be sure their will be many more catch up days…it’s LIFE!
