When I met my husband, Many moons ago, I was touched by a tradition done at his home. Every Dec 6th, to honor St. Nicholas, they would put their shoes out by the tree and the next day, a small gift would be left. This let the kids know they were being good and there was a good chance that Santa would visit soon. If they were not so good, an onion may be in their shoe. My husband has had his share of onions. The onion meant, get with the program and shape up or else!
We continue this fun tradition. The shoes used to be so tiny, now.... well.... time waits for no one.
Ah, you may notice the space heater. Yea its cold here in the Burgh. REAL cold. And the best part. Our heat pumps went. We are running on one, that is on its last leg.
SO, tomorrow we get the fun job of buying new ones!!! WHY is it this always happens before the holidays, Yippee..........
I got my "Purse Exchange" that I participated in on Ravelry. WHAT FUN!!!! And my NEW friend Jean, put the best bag together ever! I loved it all. I mean all of it!!
She sent me a Frank Sinatra CD. My folks picked me up to go to the new, Garden Ridge(Total waste of time) and dad played it all the way there and back! It was great!
Finished my Daughter's malabrigo sweater yesterday, waiting for her to put it on for a pic.
Working on the Noro stripe scarf for hubby. I haven't made him a scarf since we dated, about 24 years ago! It is fun trying to knit without him seeing it!
I also decided to make my mom gloves to match her scarf. I had to order more yarn. No one around here carries it! Blah!
Oh yea, I bought one of the shelves from the yarn shop that went out of business and spent saturday putting it together and gathering up all my,(ADDICTION) yarn and lovingly placing it on the new shelves. Very nice. I now have a yarn shop in my house! I am hoping this curbs my need to run to Bloomin and drop toooo much money on some more yarn!!!
NAH, what am I thinking. Michelle may forget me!!!!
