catching up...

I am finally almost done with the ascot scarf I have been knitting. It is pretty and soft, and very pink...which will hopefully delight the recipient-to-be, as her favorite color is pink. I have got to learn to pay more attention when I am knitting tho. I had to redo some rows several times, and it is a very easy pattern!!!! I am anxious to finish it, because I want to crochet some little angel ornaments...and my new issue (Jan/Feb 09) of Crochet Today! got here, and there are several projects in there that are just too cute!

I made the 'mistake' of going into JoAnn's on Saturday, so I could get a crochet hook in a size that I have misplaced somewhere...Mistake, because they had some yarn on sale that I couldn't resist!!! And their sewing notions were all 50% off, and since I have been using my sewing machine alot more lately, I finally bought a bunch of bobbins, and a bobbin box to keep them organized in...well...because they were on sale!! The first thing dear hubby said when I came out was 'that bag is too big for one little crochet hook...' (I am so blessed that my hubby is very understanding!)

Thanksgiving was good...a lot of work, but good. All of the kids were here, which was a miracle in itself. We had 13 people. I know its not a lot by some people's standards, but it makes our small place seem very crowded. But happy crowded. I didn't go through the empty nest syndrome thing like a lot of Moms do... but I really do enjoy having them all together.

Happy Monday... (uh-huh) :o)
Love,
Lissa
