    Looks like a great time! Although, the bottles of glue on the table are making me scratch my head a little. Other projects going too?

    yahoooo! can you believe this will be the first year I make Christmas cookies? I have a 5 and 3 year old who are both ready and willing to dive in with me. Been collecting antique (and non-antique) cookie tins. Can't wait!

Weekends

Knitting News

When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
