Effing Ohs
Hey, people!
I've been busy finishing some objects and stuff. This time of year, it is crazy. I've kind of had to choose where to put my energies, and sitting on the couch won out after a couple of long days.
No pictures tonight, I'm headed to bed, and I'll save the details for after the gifts just finished are given, but let me just say that I can't wait to see our friends - they know who they are - and hand over the goods. I love it when people appreciate my hand knit gifts, and these people have done it well in the past.
So much else - I wasn't going to mention the store, I swear, but I feel like I should give y'all fair warning. I got an e-mail from a popular blog today saying that they're going to feature my shop some time this week, so the little stock remaining, picked over as it is, may be getting even more picked over. Also, in preparation for the potential traffic, I went ahead and listed some baby pants patterns. I keep meaning to post about my awesome test knitters and show you some cute pants pictures - will have to get around to that soon!
In sad news, Julie had been mentioning that her little friend B*, the little boy she goes to school with and loves to death, was getting a new house. So I assumed they were moving locally. I found out today that ack! they are moving out of state. I am so sad for Julie that I cried when B*'s mom told me.
But in happier news, it turns out that her school's family fun night is tomorrow, and apparently her class has been preparing some songs to perform. I got her to sing some of them at home tonight, and may put the hilarious video up on YouTube for you if I have the energy tomorrow night. Or, I may collect some more video tomorrow night and share that with you instead.
But I do have a lot of little holiday junk going on - I do a little picture web-page for my uncle's family every year, and he's sent me the photos so I better get on that soon (It's kind of hilarious, really. I am so tempted to show y'all the link from last year, but oh, well, go ahead and look if you must.) None of the design is mine - I just did what I was told and provided the space, I swear! And now you know all about my paternal grandparents. Julie's middle name is Marlys after my grandmother.
My holiday cards are scheduled to show up in the mail any day, and those will take priority when they do. And I'm trying to crank out a bunch of cookies and hope to mail off a couple of care packages early next week. I've been so good about just eating a few, sharing a few with the girls, and then double bagging the rest for the freezer which keeps 'em fresh and avoids temptation.
There is so much else I could share - I decided on the J Crew coat because the fabric was so much nicer than the Eddie Bauer one. Most of the girls' Christmas presents have arrived, including the ones from HearthSong (except one stocking-stuffer from them which said in stock on the web site but that they listed as backordered on the packing list, and which they promised would be in the mail the next day when I called, and that was a week ago. No big deal if we don't get it in time for Christmas - there's tons of stuff for the stockings already!)
Alright, I'm off to bed!

Oh, I know how that goes with a website saying it's in stock just to find out it's not! I ordered my husband's big item from amazon.com and it said it was in stock and would ship in 5 days.... got an email two days later saying it wouldn't ship until the 18th! eek!
I am so glad you got your stuff. I was really worried about your order in light of what happened to me years ago. Good, now I can sleep at night. In between worrying about what I still need to finish knitting/crocheting before Christmas. And whether or not the TSA people will take away all my knitting stuff when we go to Hawaii in January. And and and...
