A New Idea

I think I'm going to make this a personal blog/ projects blog now. Since I have more to say about my projects than my life. So here's a list of all my projects that I can remember since I started 6 months ago.

Knits

  • Garter Stitch Scarf in 4 different Springy Yarns
  • Garter Stitch Scarf in 3 different Wools
  • Ribbed Scarf in Designer-Dyed Wool
  • Swirled Baby Hat in Worsted Weight Wool
  • Swirled Adult Hat in Springy Yarn
  • Stockinette Stitch & Garter Stitch Hat in 2 Wools
  • Victorian Lace Wool Scarf with Loop Hole
  • Garter Stitch Wool Scarf
  • Fuzzy Wristers (Fingerless Mittens)
Sews

  • Two Knitting Needle Cases
  • Halter Sweetheart Apron
  • Retro Half-Apron
Embroiders

  • Cardinal Hand Towel

Pictures will come once I've visited all of them in their new homes, since most of them have been gifted.

Christmas Eve Gift!

Hello from the Daly and Draper families!

We're having our morning coffee/mocha with Millie (maternal grand-parents' puppy) snuggling in the middle of things. Sara offers me a tim-tam slam to stop my jitters. Apparently an Australian cookie invention via Pepperidge Farm and hot beverages. Sounds nice.

We have a holiday tradition... one of many... called Christmas Eve Gift. As everyone calls about to confirm plans and arrival times, instead of "hello" we greet "Christmas Eve Gift!!!" And whomever is on the other line is then 'tagged' as gifting us with a gift the night before Christmas. Lovely, no?

Merry Christmas Eve to all and to all a good Gumbo Consumption :D
