Christmas is coming like a freight train

The time right before Christmas can be hard for me for blogging.  So much of what I am working on (read: everything) are gifts or gift related, so I really can't talk about them on here or I'll spoil the surprise.  And everyone deserves a surprise or two on Christmas.  In case you are wondering, no I haven't finished my Christmas shopping or my Christmas knitting.  Not even close.  The 3 December shows distracted me a bit, but thats ok.  I may spend all day Christmas eve trying to catch up, but thats ok too.

At least under our tree is starting to fill up.  Last night I wrapped my angel gifts and then started in on some more of the family presents.  The make:Tulsa Christmas party and Erin's blog inspired me to strive to have the prettiest packages at both family Christmases this year.  Not a single package has been left unembellished.  It makes for a mighty pretty pile of presents to look at under the twinkling tree.

Whether I finish absolutely everything I want to get done for Christmas or not, I know that 2 full days of family, food and friends await me at the end of this week and all the hard work will totally be worth it.  If I don't get around to it, or you have started your festivities early, have a very merry and wonderful Christmas!

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
