I've been meaning to post something for a few days now but I don't have any new photos - my photo mojo has left the building - so i always feel a little undressed when i write a post without a new picture. Kind of like when i'm walking around the house fully dressed from the waist up, with my tights and shoes on, but without a skirt. i'm fully covered, but something feels amiss (this is also a fear of mine, that i will walk out the door without a skirt. i know, that seems insane, but i'm sure someone has done it intentionally or not)
Anyway, I've got a lot of things I want to have going on right now. heh. my christmas shopping is pretty much done. I wasn't going to do a tree. J doesn't care and honestly, it's a hassle. but with all of the trees popping up in flickr and instagram i'm reconsidering. this weekend i even bought supplies to make ornaments, so there you go.
I also want to make a bunch of fancy nuts to give to neighbors and colleagues. i'm not much of a baker. i have one go to cookie recipe (butter nut balls which are probably my favorite cookie ever) but that's pretty much it. so i need to organize myself for that.
I'm considering sending out cards this year. New Year's cards. I haven't sent any out for years and since things have settled down into some semblance of order, I think maybe it's time. Plus, we've been eliminated from several greeting card lists (we hardly receive any anymore) and that's a bit of a bummer.
I've got some knitting to do. I haven't knit a stitch in a couple of weeks or crocheted even. So it's time i get going again. I'm not a christmas knitter. But I have promised a pair of thick socks for a friend's mother, and an infinity scarf for my stylist. She's sweet and she always asks about what I'm making. So she's worthy.
the plan is to use this yarn I spun early in the fall with some gray Lamb's Pride. she wears mostly black (she's a blue eyed brunette too) so I think she'll like it.
And finally, i felted 3 old lambswool sweaters INTENTIONALLY that i hadn't worn in several years. I plan on cutting them up and making stuff out them.
So that's what is going on over here. A lot of stuff on my plate.
