Breakfast with the Big Guy


T just had to visit with Santa. She thought that maybe he would understand her wish for an American Girl doll. It has been on her Christmas list for the past 3 years. One day she pulled out the AG catalog out of the recycle bin for the umpteenth time and said to dad, "I don't understand why mom throws these away. These are great magazines!"

Last Saturday Ramniss, I, T and a sister went to have breakfast with Santa. I wonder ... was this our last year or do we have a few more?

I have holiday ADD


I have several projects started. None of them really are for gifts. Or I tell myself I am not knitting for Christmas. I really am. I keep adding to my collection of current ‘not knitting for Christmas’ projects. Each one ends up with learning a new technique. Which is good, but only adds to me jumping from project to project.

I have containers of yarn in my living room for matching and pairing for projects. Do I take it back downstairs? No, because I have other projects rattling in my head that would require maybe what is in the big honking tote along with other yarn in the basement sitting in totes. What if I run out of yarn in my current project? I probably have more in the tote – so why should I take it downstairs????

I also have a few felted sweaters that I had a brilliant idea of turning into a few items. Went to the store to get the fabric and patterns needed for these projects – now I have piles of cut fleece, felted sweaters, patterns, sewing machine, sweaters hoping to be part of the project… all sitting in various stages in my dining room.

Ugh. Then there is the bedroom. I have projects in there too.

Oh, and there is the decorating. I will have to move all my nonsense back downstairs. We have to get the house ready for the holiday.

... I want to ride my bike....
