Blogmas Day #27......did I say yesterday was the 27th? Pay no attention to the woman behind the blog!

First of all the meal last night was sensational but I give credit to each and every one of those recipes I shared!  It was a meal to be remembered and guess what?  I have leftovers! LOL!
Another Christmas miracle happened today and just in time!  I was online looking at the camera I wanted to buy and just before I was going to purchase it I thought I would try my camera one more time.   It worked!  The aperture opened and I was able to take pictures!!!!  PTL!  Here's the proof.........my Christmas Eve cast on socks!  I'm working them on separate needles but concurrently....the cuffs are done...onto the leg!

This is the most beautiful yarn to work with and to look at and soft....wonderful stitch definition and with my favorite Chiagu red cable needles.....I am enjoying knitting these to no end!   Great yarn makes me look like a good knitter! LOL!  This is a sparkly yarn but you can't see it too well in the picture but it is full of bling!

I didn't decorate full on this year as I was still tired from the flu but I managed to get a few things out......

There are lights on this tree but you can hardly see them....it's daylight....
I should have waited until dark but by then I am in bed!

Here are the potholders that Sam and Grayson did the artwork for.  It was a fundraiser at their school and you just sent the artwork in and they made potholders from them....pretty cool I'd say..........this is Sam's who is 10

 and this is Grayson's who is 7 ...I love them and their potholders!

They got me a few ornaments for my tree also..........

Here's the Russian cookies..........like chocolate covered marshmallows but good chocolate and good marshmallows......I love foreign food as they don't use the preservatives and chemicals in their foods like we do plus they use REAL ingredients....like REAL butter, and REAL sugar and REAL flavorings no dyes or artificial anything and boy can you taste the difference!  YUM!  That's why I bake everything myself.....I can't stand the cookies on the shelf or much else to be honest.

Did I show you the catnip mice I made?  I can't remember so here's one..............

I think I've done about 4 more rows on the CMB since I posted last.  Now that the Christmas gifts are done I get to work on my projects! I am going to make my Project Notebook tonight so I can tell at a glance what needs to be worked on next and keep track of yarns, patterns and supplies required.  I know I have that sweater to finish!  I could use it as it is cold here....I don't think it got out of the 20's today but the sun was out all day.

 Today I had to go to the Revenue Office and renew my driver's license.....you have to renew it for 8 years at a time.....I might not be here 8 years from now.  I hate paying for things I might not even use! LOL!  Then I had some other financial things to take care of, I cleaned the litter boxes, and the daily maintenance chores around the house and now I am ready to sit down for the evening.  I hope you had a great day and are enjoying this time between Christmas and New Years.
Happy Trails!!!
