I was… I mean…I have a friend who was helping her husband hang the outside Christmas lights. And, she wondered what it might look like to knit Christmas lights? Do you think I need….I mean…my FRIEND needs help??

“I won a book! I won a book!!â€
Ok – my boys think I’m crazy now! Lol They are used to mom talking back to her mp3 player – but the dance might have been too much! 😉 I never win anything – but I won the book of my choice (from a field of a dozen or so?) from Kelli at the Unwound Podcast!
I chose Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby – and I can take it off my Amazon wish list. And, I’m taking a beginning lace class in 4 days with my friend Ruth – 2007 will definitely be the year of lace!
Kelli featured another book that was a real contender – and was added to my Amazon wish list: Amazing Crochet Lace: New Fashions Inspired by Old-Fashioned Lace by Doris Chan But as I already know how to make lace in crochet – I chose the other. But I have not made any crochet lace garments – and I think I’m going to be looking for some nice patterns online.
What else was I going to tell you about? Oh – my poor baby! DH woke me up at 7am to tell me that J3 was crying again. He was not in his bed – so I followed the crying sound and found him in the bathroom. Poor guy was sitting there crying his eyes out. But he looks at me and says through the tears – “Good Morning Mommy” Awww He’s so sweet – but darn he is soo miserable! 🙁 I pray that he is through with this very soon!
Hey Mendy!! So great to hear from you! How are you and yours? Do you blog any where I can catch up with you? I’ve missed you!
Well, I’d better get dressed and start my day. Though due to the illness in the family (looks like J1 might have it too 🙁 ) I’m not sure my day will be much more than laundry and knitting. Hee hee – who am I kidding?!? I’ll love that!

Here is why I hate sending some of my kids to a school environment! My youngest is sick with this stuff – blisters in his throat and a fever. Poor thing is in such pain. And, I fear sending him back will only expose him again!
Not to mention that his brothers (and us?) are probably going to get it. (sigh) Prayers are definitely appreciated. Patience for me…protection for those of us who are not sick (yet)…and healing!
You all better get out there and buy some stock in Lysol and liquid soap — we are going to be using lots of it!

Yesterday…
was a very productive day for me! I changed sheets – did tons of laundry – felted another purse (thus the laundry served a dual purpose) – finished a baby’s kimono that is currently being blocked – knit a drop-stitch scarf – and made 10 lbs of mashed potatoes for the dinner.
Today…
my darling hubby braved the crowds and secured some great deals on gifts for the boys. Now we are facing an open day. Will we go to the Sacramento Zoo or lay around and veg. LOL Guess what I want to do? I have more charity and Christmas knitting to complete. Can’t do that at the Zoo! 😉

I finally found the stocking pattern from my Grandma. She made stockings for all the family members over the years. One of the last stockings she made was for my sister’s oldest son and you can tell she was not her normal excellent knitter. At some point before she died, she sent me copies of her pattern. When she died, I tried to find her original pattern, but failed. I was so excited to find that copy – but then I misplaced it again. But I have it now!!
So, now to learn how to do it – I’m a bit nervous but excited too! I’ll keep you updated! 🙂
