Pumpkin Sunrise

I finished knitting a hat out of left over sock yarns.  Yep.  Done.  The very best part of this hat is that my son loves it.  The ravelry notes of my scrap happy hat are here .  I used about five different sock yarns and alternated every four rows.  I just guessed at how much I would need.  I do have some of the colors left over (still).  So I casted on another hat but it will be have more stripes, more colors. I do not know about you, but I save everything, even if it is only one yard.  You just never ever know when you will need some yarn somewhere for something.  Since I am in a hat making mood I might go for a third hat.  I timed myself burying all the threads for this hat and it only took a 1/2 hour!  Why oh why does burying threads feel like a lifetime? I have finished wrapping ALL the gifts.  I am ready for the gift giving part of the holiday.  Still have not made a complete grocery shopping list for Christmas eve.  It is just the four of us so it should be easy, right

This weekend contained: -me ignoring clutter. -me caving in to peer pressure and making this  Peppermint Bark .  Unfortunately (or fortunately) I am unable to eat it because of all the dairy in it.  I tried and felt awful.  Lactaid pills are only so magical for me.  The family LOVES it. -making potato and leek soup that was super yummy! (with homemade bread) -knitting while the kids are playing video games. -doing way more laundry than I usually do. -trying to come up with my menu plans, I was getting very comfortable cooking for two.   Joining Amanda at the habit of being
