Monday,December 10, 2012

The cold weather finally arrived during the night! It truly seems like December and soon to be Christmas now! I am so happy to be at home today. I have several things I want to get done. So, I am starting early.

Wanting to try the Lisbeth #3 cotton, I crocheted the Trick or Treat Doily in Christmas Colors and it turned out quite festive! It is blocked and drying on the counter and should be ready to go to the shop tomorrow. (Colors are a bit off due to the cloudiness this morning)

 

I worked on our Christmas tree today. It's beginning to look like it should although I didn't quite get all the ornaments on it. Maybe I can finish this evening after dinner while we watch the Texans! There's just a few ornaments left....

 

I had purchased a new poinsettia garland for the fireplace mantle in the living room. It is fluffed out and in place but it needs to be secured. It wants to come off the mantle if you just look like you might bump it!

Some of my favorite Santas -

 

 

I decided to start a few red baby hats for the charity knitting for St Luke's Hospital. I need knitting that is enjoyable yet I don't have to think about it! Red is always fun to knit with and baby hats are quick to finish. They should be fun.

My yarn room/guest bedroom is almost back to itself. It didn't take me as long as I thought it would to get it into order. I have always loved this room as it has large double windows providing a great view!

Joe has a great warm fire going this evening as we get ready to watch the Texans! I hope they succeed in beating the Patriots! I hope you have a wonderful evening too! I'm gonna go cast on for a baby hat.
