Oh, The Weather Outside Is Frightful!

On this fabulous winter evening I am doing fabulous winter things! It is so cold outside...a bone chilling 28 degrees and dropping! We may even get sleet. I never thought I would be so excited about sleet but, the thought of going to work late tomorrow sounds fantastic! I would do anything to stay cozied up in my bed.

Well...I guess for those of you that live in the northern states, 28 degrees may not be very cold to you but, right here deep in the heart of Texas, that is dang cold! I can't believe I just said dang. So, back to the fabulous winter things I am doing....there is a hot pot of chili on the stove, The Holiday is playing (for about the hundredth time since November) in my DVD player and the surround sound is echoing throughout the house so I can hear the dialogue in every room, packages are being wrapped...

...tags are being made (out of shrinky dinks this year, I am obsessed with shrinky dinks) and placed on packages in preparation for Christmas Eve festivities...

...and I found the elves that I lost yesterday! One of them popped by today for a bit of after work chit chat. This little elf helped by wrapping the soaps that I made. What a fantastic job she did!

There is still more to complete but...maybe I am really starting to see the light. I know I already said that several posts ago. I seriously don't know what I was seeing because I was in total darkness. But this time, 2 days before Christmas, there is light. I go with my bad self!

Cheers!!!

Happy Monday

I added a Halloween necklace to Etsy today. I like this one and may have to shrink it up for myself!

Also, I got a little Halloween treat from my sister and niece. My surprise was a Halloween tea towel, candy, and a pretty little orange votive. Might I say those eyeballs are rather tasty!

My sister and I also started working on knitting our first pair of socks last night and of course watched Desperate Housewives! Yes, I subjected her secluded, non-cable, mountain self to it. So far, it has been easy, but we have not made it to the hard part yet. When I get there, I will check back and let you know, because I may be dancing to a different tune by then ;-). The knit socks book is a really good book by the way. My sister gave it to me!

They are leaving tomorrow so the house will have one less sister and one less niece. I will be sad because it has been so much fun having them here! Hopefully they will come back soon!

Cheers!

Halloween Crafting

I thought it might be fun to make Halloween earrings out of shrinky dinks. I started working on 2 different designs yesterday. I think I may also make a necklace too. So, in the spirit of Halloween, I am selling these on Etsy.

Cheers!
