Fun links for those in the Holiday Spriit

By -


This is a church near my house. I don't go here, but I love the landscape and the architecture. It has Swedenborgen roots. So in the spirit of the snow and the season, I have a non serious post for you.

If you are looking to fan the fires of the Holiday spriit look no further!

2stix.blogspot.com has an old post on an entire Nativity Scene you can knit.

Polarknit.com has a free pattern for cute elf slippers.

www.reknit.com showcased a FunFir (pun) tree made from eyelash yarns. Perhaps the best use for eyelash yarn ever!

youcanmakethis.com had a pattern for a CUTE Christmas tree crocheted handbag.

danceswithwools.wordpress.com has some fun Tree knit dishcloths that are one the fancy side.

(I learned how to tighten the nut on the windshield wiper this morning. Fireman keeps the wrench right in the glove compartment. Yahoo, I can fix something on a car!)
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

That little church is adorable. You will have to email me so I can visit it. I would love to take some shots of that myself.

Beautiful image! It is cold here, but we don't have snow. (rain cold) But we had fun seeing Santa Clause and his helpers on the downtown market. (Sinterklaas "celebrates" his birthday here on Dec 5)

Okay, you got me! Elf slippers! And dreamweaveryarns.com has Polarknit yarn on sale just in time. I can even add a yarn dot on the toes that says, "Santa bring more yarn."

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's their boy.  Insufficient inf

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
