Yarn Along

 Second elf-hat in the works.

Knitting, a good book, a sunny winter's day, and a good cup of tea. God is so generous in His blessings!

 Finished elf-hat

On the twelfth day of Christmas...

... I found my camera!

 

 

On the sixth - tenth days of Christmas...

... I lost my camera. Saint Anthony, pray for me! I attempted pictures with my phone, but the quality is terrible. I did manage to get this picture. DS2 playing with the doll baby DD received on Holy Innocents.

Update: Camera found! Some pictures...

Presents from G-diddy and L!

Yarn Along

Seeing some of my favorite bloggers Yarn Along posts inspired me to start (and hopefully finish) a project. I found a great box to hold my knitting and reading and my goal is to read all the books/finish the knitting project before they can be replaced in the box. My current project is to make elf hats from Charmed Knits.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

 Gifts from Uncle M. and Aunt J. and cousins!

 Pretty new outfit. Yellow, perfect for the sunshine girl.

 Matching outfits for the boys.

 Sticker play castle (and pirate ship).

Thank you, M, J, and family for the lovely gifts!

Happy Birthday to My Dear Husband!

 Birthday Dinner menu:

• fried chicken
• scalloped potatoes
• whole cauliflower w/ herbed bread crumbs

 Carrot Cake (no raisins)

The perfect ending to a happy birthday.

Sweet and Beautiful

 DD baking her cookies. She took turns playing me and herself (dd as "mommy" rolled out the dough and dd as dd cut the shapes).

 Putting the cookies in the oven.

 Cookies baking.

 Checking on her cookies.

 Tying the ribbons.

This was sooooo cute. My rolling pin was out on the counter and dd started up this whole game, tell me how she was "you, mommy!" and rolling out the cookies. And then playing herself and cutting them and everything just like we did yesterday. She asked for cookie cutters and "that board" and then she said she needed an oven and when they were baked asked for string so she could hang them on the tree.
