Friday Finish and Fun

By -
 This is the second leftovers hat.  Finished.  I'm casting on with more leftover yarn this afternoon.  I love using it all up.  Because...then I get to justify more yarn.   
Every year I save the Holiday Cards.  The next year I cut them into 
tags and make a punch hole in the corner for a ribbon.
Here at our cozy home we are trying for a 
New Year's Card this year.  Al will be
here for a bit, and Zach is coming home
from Mexico in 8 days!  Or 8 crazy nights if you want to look
at it that Way!!
I'll hope to get a picture of them outside in the snow 
together.....
Beatles is used to going out with his harness on, so he may 
get in on it too. 

Are you sending cards?  I dont think they are
a must each year for us, but this year I'd like to make it a photocard year.  
How about YOU???

Yup! I have the cards and need to order stamps. I'll get them - 100++ - written and addressed this weekend, I hope, then stamped once the stamps arrive...

I love photo cards, so I started doing them a few years back. Last year I had two different designs and it was stressful, deciding whom got what. This year, one card, but no pre-printed greeting. The back (I use flat cards) is blank so I can write a personal message like I used to in the "old days".

Over the years, I have slashed my card list, and now it is a manageable size. I usually write cards as I receive them - it's less stressful and my notes are more thoughtful and specific to that person.

I've been saying I am sending cards this year but can't seem to get around to it. If I don't soon it will be too late.

I print our labels each year and have fun finding the craziest Christmas clip art available. It never fails to get a few laughs from the recipients.

Can't wait to see the pictures of Al and Zack having snow fun!!

I try to send cards every year. Sometimes I am more successful than others...

Another warm hat and more scraps out of your stash, you must feel great! I've never sent out cards because I feel that it is something that will be more natural to do if I get married someday. Then I would rather make one of those newsletter style Holiday cards that has pictures of the past year and updates on big events. At the same time I think that people really love classic holiday cards too.

I'm not so good at sending out cards.

No cards for me. It always seems to be such a great thing, but then I think about the work involved and change my mind. Thanks for the comment.

I was thinking about doing cards this year. I am a bad card-sender, and it would shock my family and friends if I did. :)

Love the hat - I like using bits and pieces up. So glad the kids are coming home. We did photo cards this year - kids, dogs, family - it was fun. I can't wait for them to arrive so I can see them in person! g

Kathy, love the tag idea. I did not send out cards last year for the first year ever...I felt guilty. So I am going to make an attempt this year if I can get my self together.
Hugs to you and I bet you are so excited to have them both home very soon,
Meredith

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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 ha...

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 the...
