Mrs. Claus

 This knitting tree garland is hanging at Three Bags Yarn Shop. 
Rustic, I say. 
Do you do tinsel? 
We cannot do tinsel due to the cats in the house. 
I love the glitter of tinsel. 
Tank's first name at the shelter was Tinsel. 
I digress..
 These lotions bars are at 3 Bags as well. I'm not a fan.
I have become a huge fan of oil free lotion. 
It is very expensive, but I love it. 
It moisturizes without any greasy feel.
I like Neutragena oil free sensitive skin lotion. 
You might ask Santa for some! 
 Have you seen Interweaves'  magazine :Make IT Knits?
I love how the patterns are right beside the photos.
I hope my library carries this periodical....
This lovely Rowan Sweater is hanging at the shop too.
There was a day I would have loved it. 
Now all I see is a big hot flash.
I love winter now because whenever I have a hot  flash I can just walk outside and immediately feel some relief. 
Perhaps this is why Mrs Claus moved them to the North Pole. 
She is such a smart lady. 
Many of our presents are marked, Love Mrs. Claus or  Love Mrs. claws...
or  Love Santa Paws.
She must do the wrapping I've decided. 

Happy SUNDAY

Hilarious! So true about the hot flashes.
I put tinsel on the tree this year for the first time in ages and it is gorgeous. So far the cats have ignored it. Let's see how long that lasts before I have to vacuum it off.

No tinsel here either. We have a silk Christmas tree. I can't imagine trying to get the tinsel back off it before we store it away. We did garland for awhile, but I sort of fell out of love with that too.

I like the smell of those lotion bars, but I don't like the feel. I feel like everything I touch would get a bit of greasy stuff on it.

no tinsel, too messy and I don't think dogs like it either. I have a little bar of that lotion and I do not like the slimy feeling but I adore the smell. I found some hand lotion at whole foods that soaks in that I like. I like the soaking in kind, just like you!

Understand the hot flash. Was out shopping today in a tshirt and a light fleece had to take the jacket off. I know Chicagoland and going out and about like that. So different than last year when the temps were in the negative territory.

I always wondered why the Claus family chose that cold climate. I love Mrs. Claus too, and Santa too of course. I started recording my Christmas movie marathon today. Every year I record every Christmas movie I can find and watch at least two every evening. DH protests but it falls on deaf ears. I LOVE Christmas!!

LOL! I have the same reaction to bulky sweaters. They are so cozy -- but way too warm for me!

Love the sweater. Not a Lavishea fan AT ALL, despite Rosanne's efforts to make it so. She loved it.

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...
