Hey, you got too much snow out there! And, I can’t find the keys to the snowmobile! Seriously, we are only a phone call away from you, big smile.

Hey, Chad Old Son of Mine, if you want some or all of Ericka’s yarn stash to “disappear, just send it our way, we’ll find some good uses for it all, big smile.

Oh goodness! You and Terry have to come visit. We would never get anything done because we would be laughing so hard. But then again there’d be plenty of yarn to work with and Chad would be so happy if all those yarn disappeared.

Good Morning Ericka, Santa with a “Pot” Belly? Awe, c’mon now, you should know that Santa doesn’t do things like smoking “Pot.” Well, let me rethink that for a second here, who knows what he has in that pipe of his. You all know the part in the poem “Twas The Night Before Christmas” where it says that he held the stump of a pipe tight in his teeth, and the smoke encircled his head like a wreath.”

O k, I’m outa here!

“Happy Christmas to all, and, to all a Good Night!”

I don’t know how you guys do stuff without a stitch by stitch pattern. I’m probably overthinking things but those fingerless mittens so neat. Add your Lego Santa is concerned wow! Does the Santa have a potbelly at all?

Can you give me the simple and basic way to do one of those knitted or crocheted Haggers for the kitchen towels? I always thought they were cool and wanted to do that. Cong Congratulations on your slippers.

It’s Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you.

I successfully sewed buttons on the sweater I’m making, then made buttonholes, and everything matches up and looks good when I try on the sweater!  Wahoo!  I was worried the holes would be the wrong size, or not match up with the buttons, but I got it right first try.  Sheew.

I also sent off the throw I was commissioned to make, and my friend got it and loves it.  She paid me for it, as we’d agreed.  Being paid for making something is something of a novel experience for me.  

My friend is blind, and works part-time assessing the accessibility of plays at a theater which is very cold.  She’ll use the throw to keep warm, and point out to people that it was created by a blind person.  I think that’s cool.  (But not cold).

Tracy
