Sunday Summary 12.26.10

Um. Oops. I guess I haven’t blogged in over a week. Not entirely sure how that happened. I could blame the holidays, but I have blogged during more stressful times than this year’s Christmas. (It was a surprisingly relaxing one for me. I got most of my shopping and knitting done well in advance this [...]

The Holiday Spirit

For the second year running, Jen & John of Cake Wrecks are doing a Christmas Charity Countdown – for the days from now until Christmas, they’re sponsoring a charity a day and asking their readers to donate $1 each. One dollar. Twelve days. Good causes. It all adds up. I’m joining them this year, even [...]

Sunday Summary 12.12.10

More Sunday Summaries. More lack of energy. (More decisions to go to sleep earlier.) And more updates on my goals: I WILL WRITE DAILY. ~ I didn’t write anything yesterday, but have written every other day. Saturdays seem to be my hard day. I WILL DRINK DECAF TEA. ~ Having issues with this one. It [...]

Friday FO: Flurries

So, one of the Secret Christmas Knits was actually a crochet project, and has been given away already. And that means I can post pictures now! These are the snowflakes I crocheted for my knitting friends. I found out that one of them wasn’t going to be in town for the rest of our knit [...]

Why My Wednesday Blog Posts are Boring in December

So, I’ve been doing some crochet again lately. But, I can’t show it off here on the blog because it’s Christmas crochet and some of the people I’m crocheting for read the blog. I’ve also been playing with knitting toys. But I can’t show that off either, because the toys are for someone who reads [...]

Christmas Crazy

Sometimes I think I’m crazy for choosing to make a lot of my Christmas gifts. Yeah, they’re more appreciated by my family. Yeah, they’re fun and (often) cheaper. But you know what? They take a LOT of time. One option, naturally, is to buy things from other handcrafters. I typically don’t do this. Many reasons, I [...]

December Resolutions, a la Le R

You may know by now that I have a great love of The Rejectionist. She is witty, she is fun, and she saves mice from glue traps. What’s not to love? Seriously. Anyway, she is doing a Resolution Uncontest for the month of December, and as I need a bit of a kick in the [...]

The Holidays Approacheth

I think I have started a new holiday trend. Or tradition. Whichever. Last year, we went to Disneyland during the holiday season for the first time. This year, we went back. (“We” is a different family grouping in each case, but both include me. And the “we” that go next year will include me as [...]

FO Friday x 2 (Almost)

Well, I have now finished both of the remaining pairs of Christmas gift socks. (Except for grafting the last toe. Hush. We won’t count that just now. But as a result of not having grafted those socks, I don’t have a picture of them. They are pretty boring looking – blue kid-sized socks with no [...]
