Al and Zach

By -
 Al knitted her own creation for a pal's gift. 
She used a variation of a broom stitch and alternated it with
Xmitts Pattern.  
The true color is below. 
Where did she get this knit gene? 

Below is a photo from last night.  
Zach and Izzy are dating and they are so darn cute together. 
Izzy is the daughter of a nurse pal, Rem. 
They have so many common interests.
Music, art, Spanish, and TENNIS.
Oh and they have amazing mothers....
did I mention that?  


Meredith mentioned she is a terrible wrapper of gifts. 
SO AM I!!! I m so excited to hear this. 
I love making and finding gifts, but I'm a lousy wrapper. 
Oh well!  

Are you wrapped and ready?

No, I'm not wrapped and ready! Every day this week I've gotten up with the intention of: baking cookies and candy making; wrapping gifts (I don't have a lot); straightening up the house before family gets here, and so far I still have all those things to do. Got unexpected overnight guests one of those days so that set me back. So now it's rush, rush, rush!!!

Oh, I forgot - love the scarf design and obviously Al takes after her mom.

Al has the "fearless knitter" gene. I think maybe she got it from her Mom (the one who takes on NICU fearlessly) and her dad (who runs into buildings when everyone else is running out). Al is AMAZING!!! Beautiful combo of stitches.

I am NOT wrapped and ready. Steve bought wrapping paper this morning and I swear it is sitting on the counter taunting me. I can hear those little snowmen just making very rude comments about their fate.

Wrapping is my least favorite Christmas activity! And it's not done either. That scarf is wonderful; she should publish the pattern!

True confession time: i'm a terrible wrapper and hate to do it. I hired a friend's teenager daughter to do all my wrapping. Totally worth it. I may never wrap another present!

Zach & Izzy do make a good-looking couple!

No wrapping done here, but I love to wrap gifts. Bring yours over and we'll make an afternoon of it!

Zach and Izzy are so cute!! They look like a fun couple. As for gift wrapping--I cheat! I am all bagged and ready. I've done gift bags for so many years that my kids look at a wrapped gift and ask, "What am I supposed to do with this?" Why do I bag instead of wrap? Because I am lousy at wrapping. I have been known to tape my shirt into the wrapping.

That's why God created gift bags. :)

Is Zach your son? He sure is cute ... and so is Izzy.

I think I know where Al got the knitting gene. :)

I hate wrapping. The Mister does all mine.
The scarf is amazing. I'm in awe of people who design.

The scarf is lovely. And young love is sweet. :) No wrapped gifts here. I gave out small presents at work but we don't need anything here at home. Except for clothes for the 16 year old and when I wrap those, he says they aren't presents, so why bother. We all have every little thing we need, that's for sure. Happy holidays, Tammy

I'm seriously crap at wrapping as well. The Manfriend is much better than me, alas I ended up doing most of it this year. I have just a few more things to take care of, but I am secure in finishing with ease.

By the way, the pic of the kids is too cute. I have not been around much lately, but it looks like your holidays are really shaping up well with lots of love from your family. Fantastic!

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...
