My New Knitty Bag

My mum still brings me gifts when she goes to Quilt Festival. How luck am I? This year she brought me this great new bag. Isn't it cute?

And, guess what is inside?


A little bit of knitting for Sweet Lucy. She is sitting on my lap now helping me post.

Grading

Red, White and Merry

Red and white for Christmas must be my favorite and you would think that this Christmas shop was full of nothing but red and white. The truth is there were many, many trees decorated many, many ways, but clearly I was biased. The shop is housed in a large barn and is overflowing with everything a Christmas tree could possibly dream of. My resistance was low and I had to have one of these.


And, one of these made of red buttons.


This tree was full of country rag dolls. So Sweet.


Here is a table of candy cane trees.


Oooooo....shiny. I am easily distracted.


Oh, and I, um bought one of these. I had to. It is a cupcake and my tree needed a glittery, shiny cupcake. Maybe yours does as well.


Here is an amazing Santa. He is taller than me and spins slowly without getting dizzy. He was the wrong price.


Look at this cute topper. Ho, ho, ho!


Oh, and I love everything snow. Snowflakes and snow people top the list, so I, um, bought one of these as well. I was getting a bit out of control, but can you blame me?


And, alas, I bought one of these, but can't tell you which one because it is a gift.


Knit tree ornaments, so stripey and fun. These were so cute, I couldn't decide on one so I left them on the store tree for now.


Balls of yarn for a needle woman's tree.


And I could go on and on.




Have fun dressing your tree. Ours is nearly ready for sharing. ~Kelly

Some Days

I am an English teacher and a supervisor. I am a daughter, a mother, a wife, and step-mother, a costumer, a friend, a cheer mom, a lover of words, a traveler of the world, a blogger, and much more I can't think of now. Some days are good. Most are great. Some, well, some are just plain long. Finals begin next week and grading is piled high, the Christmas tree is half dressed, gifts are in the making, the bed is not made, dishes are in the sink, and the holiday parade is this weekend. So much fun, so little time.

Sweet, sweet, Lucy may have the right idea. ~Kelly
