Ok so I have been knitting I just don't have any pictures to upload right now. So here is the run down. for what I did in december.
1. Red ridding hoodie ( working on zipper band all else is done)
2. A pair of flip top mittens for hubby (cascade 220)
3. A pair of flip top mittens for step-dad ( lambs pride worsted)
4. A pair of Kolenya's for SIL (Noro silk garden)
5. A pair of flip top mittens for BIL (Peace Fleece)
6. A pair of flip top mittens for me (Lamb's pride worsted)
7. A stretchy headband i-pod holder for me (can't remember what yarn)
8. River rapids socks (razzytazzy knits on etsy)
This is a blanket my mom made for my cousins baby that was born on the 8th. She made the first one of these when she was pregnant with me. I still have mine too! She makes one for everyone who has a baby and they are great. This one was lovely and so soft. Guess what happened to it.


About and hour after I took this pic I was uploading them to my mom's computer and lo and behold the baby found a bottle of red nail polish. Need I say more? Yup we were not happy. All over her, the rug, and the blanket. I took the blanket home and used Q-tips and nail polish remover and got almost all of it off. I washed it up 3 times with dreft and it looked good as new. I was afraid the remover would ruin or eat thru the yarn but since it was lion-brand it held up really well. Thankfully! So that had been the last month in a nutshell. I am going to NJ next week and once I get the mittens done we will see what to do from there.


Aren't they cute?

Wow it's been a while. So much has happened. Let see my van got hit by an oil truck. It was parked in the driveway across from my mom's house and the truck tried to go up the hill and slid back into my van. Pushed it about 10 feet to the side, busted out the back windows, dented the back door and side and broke the tail light. OK not so bad could've been worse. At least we werent' in it so its ok. The oil company settled with me and I got the van fixed and all is good. That didn't happen until about the 21st of December tho and he hit me one the 4th of Dec. So that slowed down all my plans and hoilday stuff but ok we worked around it. No big deal. Christmas!

The girls had a blast. They got way too much crap and they were so good. Hams to can't you tell?


I know it is so unfair of me to do stuff like this to my dog but how cute is she?


We got so much snow! There is like 4 feet laying around as we got hit with 4 separate storms that gave us at least a foot each. Last year Lana was petrified of the snow see previous post. This year she loves it! Yea! We went sledding and played and had a blast. Now she has bronchitis LOL

See sometimes they do love each other and aren't trying to kill the other. Must be Tom and Jerry they love these old cartoons. Whatever works for a few minutes fo peace right?
