A lot of catching up...

I haven't posted since New Year's Eve,...so I think I need to catch up with what I've done since then. I have made two more pair of felted clogs... Before...and
After.
I have made one pair of fingerless mitts for the upcoming Christmas.
I finished an extra long pair of socks for me. They stay up quite well, surprisingly.
We had a little bit of snow last week. Here is Sarah with her mini snowman. She made two of them.
Here is the latest pair of socks I am working on. It is the Lombard Street pattern but I am not continuing the pattern down the instep because I don't like the indentations down my foot.
I will need to cast on for another pair of fingerless mitts because I want to knit at least one pair a month so I have enough for presents at Christmas.
Hopefully, I will post sooner than a month later.
TTFN!

Last two weeks of December in pictures

Our Christmas tree at home.

Our two dogs play-fighting.
Same here.
Christmas tree at my brother's house on Christmas Eve.
After we ate, all gathered around the kitchen bar for a look at my brother's gun.


Opening presents--Sarah got a Cabbage Patch with baby.
He likes the green!
Ooops! Labeled the packages wrong--Margaret got John Michael's and he got hers.

Finally got the right one!
Trying out the suncatchers. This kept them busy and quiet for quite some time.
Megan, my oldest.
Benji (fiance), Megan, and John Michael
Working on the yarn!
Christmas morning at our house. Sarah's opening presents.








Megan and Benji came over early to open presents with us too.
Sabrina is eyeing the treats that were in her stocking.

The dogs have to be in the middle of everything.

Sarah is trying to give some treats to one of the cats.
Benji got the jacket he wanted from Megan.

Lillian Grace, the great-niece.
Benji is feeding her some custard.


Had to take a picture of the brother-in-law's shirt. It says...I'm sick of being my wife's arm candy.
Lilli is watching Mom(Amber) open her presents.

My MIL, Lilli's great-grandmother, holding Lilli.
Chuck, my other brother-in-law, holding Lilli.
Dad(Shannon) is taking her to get ready for bed.
Rusty, sleeping in his favorite chair on New Year's Eve.
The cat, SiSi, likes to sleep here also, when the dogs aren't in it.

Last post of the year!

Since it has been over a month since my last post, I decided I needed to catch up on everything. We had a good Christmas and there has been no school since Dec 15. The holiday is almost over and I really don't want to go back to work, but then again I kinda miss it too. I must upload pictures from my camera so I can load them on here. Will do that later today! This is it for now. TTFN!
