No Christmas Shoes Here

Nope. No Christmas Shoes here at all. But I'd sure like to have enough hand-knit Christmas socks that I could wear a different pair for each day from Dec 1-25! Im about halfway there now...

I'd also like to add to my Christmas jewelry collection. Since I can't wear earrings, that means more pins amd necklaces. So you can imagine how exited I was when my daughter made this impulse purchase for me at a local bakery yesterday!

I love this pin, and I'm going to wear the heck out of it this month! Maybe even into the New Year... While I wear it, I'll just keep working on socks and mystery gnome knitalongs...

...and I have orders for a stocking and a  Psyduck hoodie and a rainbow Yoshi, not to mention the candy I have yet to make. 

Looks like I won't be getting much sleep this month! But all of the things are fun for me, even more fun with Christmas around the corner! 

What are you having fun with this month? Even if you're not having fun yet, I wish all of you joy and peace and love this holiday season!

No Gingerbread Yet?

December is getting away from me! It is December second, and the month is already getting away from me...how does that even happen? Well, I'll tell ya...there was this craft show (Christmas in the Barn), where I bought this spider, and it was a fun event to attend! 

But I still haven't started the gingerbread...though I did manage an extra batch of Christmas caramel before I left the house at 8:45am.

There were so many good, crafty items to see and shop that, despite my best efforts to be home before lunch, I didn't leave the church until nearly 2pm! Lol...down the rabbit hole again, Alice...but look at all the goodness...!

Anyway, I'm home now, and I still haven't started the gingerbread. But I have started a pair of 2020 Advent stripe socks, and I'm not behind on those yet (Note: it is only Dec 2)...

and I've worn hand-knit, Christmas socks every day for over a week...

and my tree is up, with frosted, sugar cookies and wraped caramels on it (but no gingerbread yet)...

and I have a Christmas spider! I've been looking for a Christmas spider for years, and now I have one! I'm going to celebrate that victory... Hip! Hip! Hooray!

The rest will get done, as long as I dont let December get too far away from me! How is your December going? Don't ask? Okay, forget I've asked. 😉

Time to Start Christmas!

Thanksgiving is over, 

the carcass is bare -

But we enjoyed turkey 

while it was there! 

Now the tree is up, 

Christmas socks on my feet,

but no cookies are baked... 

we decorate with sweets!

So this post will be short, 

and I'll be in the kitchen -

Gotta Christmas this place up

without any...

Oops! Family friendly blog! I'll leave you to fill in the blank, if you like...maybe Blitzen could help you out? I hear he's a whiz at Christmas rhymes and decorating. 🎄 

Is your tree up yet? I'd love to see a pic!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing all my friends a

I hope there's time for you to Knit in Good Health this weekend!

Not Quite Turkey Time

Where's your turkey? Mine is in the freezer, but I'll be moving it to the fridge for thawing well before I go to bed tonight. 

While I was checking on the turkey, I noticed that my butter stock is a little low... for this time of year anyway!

I'll use about two pounds on the Thanksgiving feast alone in just a few days. Butter goes in all the good stuff...on the bird, in the potatoes, stuffing and corn! It's especially good in the homemade rolls, and in my second batch of Christmas caramel! Yummm!

Second batch because we may put up the tree this weekend and decorate it on Turkey Day! We will need wrapped candies for that...and cookies too! I'd better take a break from this sweater and start baking! 

But before I go, here's a couple pictures of last weekend's party!

The boys had a blast, and so did we! 

My daughter and her hubby sure put on a great party! 

Now, for Thanksgiving, it's my turn! Tell me, what's your favorite holiday tradition?
