Some New Finished Items!

With all this snow and my refusal to stick my nose out the door till it's gone, I've had plenty of knitting time. I've been cozied up in my recliner, toasty warm under my Xmas blanky from Cara & Tony, and watching old movies. Bliss. And don't send hate messages about the foggy pix, I KNOW.

Here's Advent Tree Tangerine ornament. I didn't manage to finish all 25 by Xmas, but trying for New Year's day when I have to pack it all up till next year.

This little guy is Advent Tree (Keebler) Elf. He's pretty cute, esp. his big green elf boots.

This is the beret I knit for myself as I don't seem to have any hats. Not that I need a hat bc I refuse to go outside. But just in case. Anyway, it's a pretty lace pattern in a very soft hand-dyed wool yarn in purples. Love it!

Super Fabulous Poetry Contest Prizes!

our two winners (Zaide and Katie, hey another rhyme!) should be breathlessly anticipating their prizes! I promised knit ornaments and I have found two PERFECT patterns for you two! So be excited!!! As they are still in the 'top secret' phase, I can't post pictures yet. But you will love them I promise!

Stealing Christmas

Since I can't track down my camera (and I've been told infinity x googol that I can't take good pix anyways), I stole some from Lootie of the adorable babies Tate and Logan on Christmas. AND my gifts for the boys that were guaranteed!!!! to arrive before Xmas did NOT, so there was nothing good to take pictures of anyway. Unless you wanted to see a bunch of little kid butts as they played with their wii from Santa. That is the only view I got of them Christmas day.

Ah, the total bliss of having a buttload of packages from Santy. These girls must have been *very* good, cuz I don't see any lumps of coal...

Look at that big dimple! Loggie loves dollies!

OOPS! I think Tatum reclaimed dolly from baby sister.

Disaster in Browne's Addition!

Poor K & P! Their rides are crunched! 'Cherry' evidently took less of a pounding than the Rotchmobile, which has a ginormous chunk of the carport sitting on it. Oh dear. Well the good news is that you can get a hell of a deal on a new car right now P...

Oops He Did It Again

Actually, he hasn't done it before...Steve fell on the ICY STEPS (that I TOLD HIM TO CLEAR) last week and landed on the old elbow. He's been moaning and groaning ever since, with scant sympathy from me (in fact, I suspected him of "Munchausen-ing" the whole thing to get some attention, which he never gets poor thing).

He finally took himself to the doc today, and came home in a sling, with a possibility of a broken elbow. Yikes.

Keep those icy steps and paths clean, folks!!!!

For Katie

For my own little Princess Unicorn!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Here's the winning Haiku:

Lavs tries to cheat us
By calling BZ winner
It was no Haiku

Yes, Katie, your whinging paid off! Choose an ornament for your prize.

And Zaide, I'm still awarding you for "Joseph" because it just fills my heart with love. So let me know which ornament you want.

And as for the rest of you, sorry. Will run another contest sooner or later, because you have all revealed the poets within.
